Hey, Is this still an option? Couple of us thinking of coming over from the UK for a couple of weeks next May. Thanks

Dunkeswell has a bunkhouse and it's cheap, i think maybe £5 a night. Showers, Bar etc. They are open Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun. Drop them a message - office [@] skydive.buzz I think there are discount at local B&B as well but there are not loads in the area.

I am a UK jumper as well and have looked it this myself, you don't have to get too many jumps to break even and as far as i can tell the weather is pretty simialr to ours in the summer so a bit of a gamble. Seems like a no brainer though if you have the money, the DZ is supposed to be a great place to jump.

Your best bet will be Skydive Swanse, or if you are willing to travel a little further Skydive Uk - Dunkeswell. https://www.facebook.com/SkydiveSwansea/ https://www.facebook.com/SkydiveUkDunkeswell/ I haven't been to Swansea but can vouch for Dunkeswell and it is one of the best DZs in the UK. It is a great place for sports jumpers and they have a Beech 99.

Was pretty impressed with Nate's 3rd place considering he only started skydiving in 2010.

The free canopy piloting book by the BPA explains it pretty well - Pic attached. http://www.bpa.org.uk/assets/Training/Canopy-handling/cpmanual.pdf

This group on facebook is used for UK CReW - https://www.facebook.com/groups/435085856548304/ I also noticed this 10 jump CF course is now being run in Spain although it looked a little pricey. http://skydiveespana.com/canopy-formation/

Thanks I'll check that out

This is the mount. http://www.tonfly.com/super-gopro-bracket_2540219.html Same one discussed in this thread. http://www.dropzone.com/forum/Skydiving_Disciplines_C3/Photography_and_Video_F7/Tonfly_Gopro_L_bracket_for_the_CC1,_anyone_have_one_P4246848/

Looking at getting one for my CC1 but want to make sure it works with the GP3 & 4, all the pictures i have seen show a GP2. Anyone have one? Cheers

Must See Video: "Helmet Cutaway Idea" by Brian Germain
Mej replied to BrianSGermain's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
this was/is my concern have you tested this cutaway under load I wonder what the actual pressure/force is of a line snagged and a canopy pulling on the mount? Surely that would give way first? Be interested to see some test data. Anyone have any experience of this on a full face or open face? -

Hi I have an account on both basejumper.com and dropzone.com. so i don't think that is the issue. As highlighted above, its the links that go back to the old baseforum on here that i can never get to work. Before it was moved to its own site.
-
Every time i find a link on BJ.com like the second post in the thread below http://www.basejumper.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=378904;search_string=150;#378904 and it takes me to the old base forum it comes up with. Is there a way to access the old threads? Cheers

Mirage M8 – What canopies do you have in yours? Just wondering what set ups people have got in their M8s. Wondering what my options are on mains. Cheers

Can a non skydiver become a packer, not for a DZ, but for a team. In the UK you need to be a member of the BPA. What about packing abroad? Spain, USA etc? Do you need to be a member of the USPA. Cheers

Do you have to be from the US?? -
I did just that, as i was wondering why i wasn't getting responses. Resorted to sending PM through the Forum now and people seem to be responding so its all good. So much nice gear over your side.
-
i do know about them, but i would be willing to travel over if the saving was good enough, there is a lot of nice gear on here, just dont seem to be getting responses.

Hi from the UK Been jumping since April and loving it, trying to get myself some gear now, seems to be alot of good deals over the pond though i dont seem to be getting much of a response. Is it a pain in the as* shipping from the US to the UK? Anyway im hoping to get over to eloy or perris at some point next year. :)

I did my Aff here in April 2011 and it was an awesome experience, I would definitely recommend it. Good vibes and everyone is very friendly, I would be out there once a month if I could afford it.
