  1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HDQ9H_OVWo Sorry if this is a repost......or am I 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  2. Any age in New Zealand. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  3. I too wish to commend you on this post. We all make mistakes but there are few that step up to the plate and admit them. It is easy to see what you expect to see and there are now alot more people out there more aware because of this thread. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  4. "A little bit behind the power curve" = FUCKED UP 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  5. 2 toggles on each risor. The steering toggle has 2 lines running to the outside 1 and a half cells and the flare toggle has 6 lines that run to the centre of the canopy. Down to 1000 feet I use just the steering toggles so the toggle pressure is kept to a minimum. I pick up the flare toogles at 1000 ft till landing. You'll notice the difference after a full days jumping! 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  6. Look very carefully at exactly what ratings / licences that you will receive. A friend of mine recently had to spend a considerable ammount of $ above what he paid at the course in order to crossover the ratings he received so that he could be work in NZ. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  7. Have been on load with 7. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  8. Used the 'Bobster' form sportrx for 5 years and am very happy with them 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  9. Sorry bro, guess we're singing from the same song sheet. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  10. You finish your long winded rant above with "Get a life". Might I suggest you take your own advice! 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  11. Unit.... 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

  13. Troll = shit stirrer 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  14. The politics here are 'interesting'. I think the best option is to go with an NZPIA DZ as this organisation has the best 'street cred' and will make it easier to crossover your jumps with any organisation overseas. Good luck in your quest. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  15. Who is the Part 149 organiation that issues the licenses? I'm not sure if ParaNZ still exists or not. A few weeks ago I heard that ParaNZ had thrown it's toys out of the cot. I have since heard that it is now back on the playing field. Anyone know what the true status is? 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

  17. Alot of it is gear fear. Learn how it works and as you understand it, the trust grows, and the fear subsides. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  18. You won't need the ParaNZ one anymore 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  19. I believe that ParaNZ, which was 1 of the 3 Part 149 organisations in New Zealand, has gone down the toilet. So anyone who has or intends to have a license / rating from this organisation may want to ensure that their status is still valid. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

  23. NZ$1000.00 downunder... 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  24. I know a girl who let her ego get in way of her abilities. 300 jumps, 2nd jump on a Crossfire 2 129 with cameras on her head. Smashed herself up to the point 8 months ago that she's lucky to be walking on sticks at the moment. Apparently there was 'turbulance' on landing and no fault of hers. Yeah right..... It was at a non USPA DZ though.... 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  25. New Zealand is a cluster fuck with 3 different organisations issuing licences and ratings and not recognising eachother. Leads to 'great' politics though. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
