A nice neat front loop, so what are you gonna specialise in, RW, Freeflying, or any other new fangled activity in the air?

Looks like you're really enjoying what your'e doing there, make sure you keep it up, by the way, why are you using Nethreravon as your DZ, is it local or are you military?

 

[mr_pr]

Mil, so its cheap and sometimes free if I can get on the courses!!!

Hopefully at some point next month or March I want to try to get down there for some formation coaching. No idea where I want to specialise yet, still just loving the exits!!!!

3 weeks and counting til i start AFF....

 [rofl]not be so cocky on the day im sure...

Bloody hell fellas, don't matter how you look at it, it's gona be bloody freezing when you get to altitude!.  Bear in mind, the temp drops 1.9 deg per thousand feet you go up, so, Feb, or March when the temps are only just above freezing........plus the wind chill.  Rather you than me.

   have nt you heard theres a heat wave coming 

i think adrenelin will be pumping that much i wont feel it or at least im hoping.

when i jumped the other week it was zero on the ground, but to be honest i wasnt cold. plus ive got the brain wash syndrome and wild horses wouldnt stop me at the minute.

[mr_pr]

Yeah, Cali was beautiful. It was so hot on the ground it was about 20 deg at 13,000...

You could actually feel a wave of heat hit you during freefall at about six thousand feet.... As you start to admire the ground rush!

It was working/jumping with some very inexperienced blokes from that team that convinced me to stop.  The team was run by Phil Gibbs, don't know whos in charge now.

Have fun with your jumping career.  It's a great buzz whilst it lasts.

Is he still only a Lt Cdr?    That will be because he crashed the Naval  frigate/ship/boat type thing into the bridge....

Nice to hear he's still jumping,

[gregstar]

ha ha ha didnt realise that was him!  just wait til i next see him/ meet him!

[pat]

Spent a couple of weeks out there last year, the jumping's great & locals really friendly. Say hello to Georges for me & don't let him con you that he only understands French !   

The skydiving is a buzz, but for a real mainlining adrenalin hit try taking a taxi out there

Better still, if there's a group of you, get a couple of taxis & make it clear that you're competing with each other ! 

If you can tear yourself away from the DZ for a rest day, it's worth booking a taxi for the day & heading for a tour into the mountains inc the Cascades d'Ouzoud

[gregstar]

cheers for that  mate, gotto try taxi racing!   sounds ace,  iv had a pedal taxi race in edinburgh but prob not the same!
