  1. As for last five years we are starting now to do final preparations for our every year bigway boogie - http://www.aerograd.ru/bigway/2009/index_en.html Same program but 50% more 4-planes jumps this year planned. Please let us know - what we can improve this year to make this event more interesting and rememberable for participants. And, of course, we will be very glad to see you onboard! -- Andygrom
  2. U can contact shop manager - sukharnikov A_T aerograd.ru I'm sure - he will be happy to help you -- Andygrom
  3. We will operate as usual - no any restrictions for non-competittors. We have 4 L-410s and Mi-8 helicopter to work non-stop even on large competitions. -- Andygrom
  4. We works now at the normal way - up to 90 loads per day on weekend. You can check our today flights anytime on this page - http://www.aerograd.ru/loads.html Coulmns are: Loads number, aircraft, apprx takeoff time, number of avail slots and status. -- Andygrom
  5. EST/Russia Details: Rules: FAI (Distance, Speed , Accuracy) Swoop Pond: 100x40 meters special builded and modified after last year. Prize: 15 000 DZ info: http://www.aerograd.ru/index_en.html -- Andygrom
  6. We will think about personal carpets for rigs. May be in shop, may be for free... Excellent!!! If you need some help - ask me by e-mail - we can do everything :))) -- Andygrom
  7. It's ready. Will be before May. Oooooh, no! Not again about carpet! :))) There will be enouth personal carpets in the shop next season :) We do our best to build it before summer... Will be in June. Hmmmm.... May be build swoop pond a little deeper and use it for swimming and diving? :))) Will be. Hope to see you next year :) -- Andygrom
  8. Ok, written down - "disco all the night every day" :) Yes - restaurant business is much more profitable, than DZ - I know :) But, unfortunatley - we have DZ :))) We plan to build new bar this summer with big covered verand for skydive sightseeing. -- Andygrom
  9. Why everyone asks about carpet in packing area? :) In fact - definetley - there will be no carpet in packing hall, because it will be dirty in 15 minutes after cleaning :( But we have new hangar for packing and more (e.g. inet-cafe, personal boxes for suits and more) And we plan to build absolutley new bunkhouses till May and big refrigerator for Baltika No7 But, please, explain me - what for we need carpet???? :))) -- Andygrom
  10. Sometimes it may be difficult to STOP students laugh - don't joke too much :))) -- Andygrom
  11. Usually we jump more than one tandem per load. So - we can joke with oter instructor or cameraman. E.g. "Hey, - at least THIS time can you land not to the forest??" or "As usual or to the dropzone?" And to passenger: Don't worry - I'm very succefull TM - I have about 70 percents of successfull tandems. or Keep smile or your face muscles will be relaxed and you will have terrible video I like tandems - there are many fun on it! Wish you too :) -- Andygrom
  12. this summer will be third international season on our DZ and we already had many improvments on our visitors requests. But, probably - we don't know some of them :) So, what you will need - facilities, information, help - if you will go to foregn DZ and plan to stay there for a week/month/year/whole life? -- Andygrom
  13. You had many advices. Two little more. 1. Relax. The most horrable think for me on my first 50 Tms was RESPONSIBILITY. It's enough to have responsibility, not RESPONSIBILITY :) 2. Have your own joke. It's enough to have only one for every student :) 3. If you jump with video - make show from this jump. And - LOVE your students - this is the best you can do :) -- Andygrom
  14. Lol!!! :) One of our students didn't want to jump tandem because his friend told him about "emergency passenger cutaway" :)) -- Andygrom
  15. Let me say you that this year we operate at least two crafts - Mi-8 and An-28 and plan to use another planes. Also we have in hot reserve another crafts if needed. We are very open and truly international DZ - our instructors works worldwide and staff are very friendly. For more information - please visit www.aerograd.ru or contact me by e-mail - [email protected]. At this moment I've got request for invitaions from at least 100 skydivers from other countries like Denmark, Poland, USA, Germany, New Zeland, Israel and others. Hope to see you in this list :) -- Andygrom
