  1. We decided to go to skydive arizona from 27/3 untill 17/4 easter boogie is running for 3 of those days :) thanks for your advice :D
  2. Thanks a great idea, thanks for that :)
  3. We are trying to get a trip on the go to somewhere decent in the states in April 2012 and looking for places with a boogie then, preferably with a good nightlife also. Ive found that Z-Hills has a boogie then (8th - 30th?!) but i cant find any others. It would be a massive help if you know of a dz with a boogie round that time, no matter where in the states, lets add it to the possibilities :)
  4. I'm wanting to mount my hook knife on my legstraps and I need to try to try and find a press-stud sk my rigger can attatch my knife to. I've asked my rigger to try and get one but she said they are hard to come by and can get any. Can someone please point me in the right direction for one :)
  5. I forgot to say that she is doing an tandem and i want to jump jump with her thats why i was asking about the tooth out. jumped yesterday and it was fine, no problems at all
  6. **Not the nicest thread, dont read while eating** I have just had a tooth out yesterday and my girlfriend is doing her first tandem on saturday. When i had a hole in my tooth (filling needed), whenever I got to altitude there would be the taste of the goo from inside my mouth, meaning there must be something to do with the air pressure difference? My question is, if the hole in my gum where my tooth was has not gone, will it start and bleed when i get to altitude?
  7. When are you going to be giving these beta invites out?
  8. Ive had a look on here but cant see any information on good christmas boogies in the US - the majority of them are from 2004 e.t.c so quite old. Basically me and a couple of mates are looking into boogieing it up over christmas and I was after some advice of good boogies in the US. Ive seen Arizona has one although I dont know anywhere else that has one. Ive tried looking on some DZs pages but they dont have anything up this far in advance! Thanks for any advice
  9. Any idea how this can be watched outside the US?
  10. when I did a hybrid yesterday (2 flat, 1 sit) the freeflyer came onto his belly for a few seconds before break off so we were all on the same level.
  11. Cool, niceone :) Ive not got any experience yet, although il have some at Airkix in Manchester after next wednesday :) im sure youl have a blast!
  12. Yeah I totally agree this is badly needed due to the explosion of the smart phone!
  13. Ive been thinking of getting some shades like these for jumping, but I am worried they will simply fall off my head with the fast speeds achieved during freefall - how does the wind not get inbetween your face and the lenses and rip the shades off?
  14. and what with the shipping time and cost? What about asking your rigger about estimated time to get your CYPRES back before sending it ? Can the OP not jump without ? No possibility to have a replacement AAD during that time ? I am all for people taking holidays, but its not the best idea to have them all take them at once! The rigger did not know all engineers would take a 2 week holiday while my cypres was there. Since im only A cert, i cant jump without one at my DZ. Im not in any rush for it to come back, I was just suprised they all took their holidays at once, leaving all work at a stand still.
  15. I sent my cypres in for a 4 year service and Airtec received it on the 27th. I rang them up this morning and they said all of the engineers are on holiday for the next 2 weeks, and work wont commence on my cypres untill at least the 19th! They kindly advised me to call back on the 19th to see the status of my cypres service!
  16. gotta say that was lucky...now you have a chance to get an android
  17. Is there any way to subscribe to this mag and get it shipped to the UK? Ive had a look on the USPA site, but cant seem to find a place to subscribe to it
  18. Does anybody know if the jet is being jumped at perris? Also, how much are/were jump tickets from this? Thanks.
  19. Im going to get my first helmet, and im unsure of which one of these three helmets i want to get: Bonehead Gunner Bonehead Mindwarp Cookie M1 The M1 is about $80 more expensive, but apart from that i see very little difference between them. I know i will be missing a lot of information (even after visiting both of their websites about the helmets), so i thought id ask your opinion on them. I dont think il be doing camera work for a while, and have no other requirements, apart from an inner audible slot.
  20. Whats is the website of Headshield? i cant find it for the life of me! ive seen a sick one on ebay but just need more info on them. Thanks, Imfromwales
  21. So its the rig which has either one or two pins for the reserve, and not the canopy?
  22. Simple question. What is the difference in having a Cypress 2 with one pin and one with two? Thanks, Imfromwales
