maybe there can be a way that you can hire stuff bob..... I mean they hire it for when your learning don't they 

[GRNINJA]

[zx10r bob]

yea you can hire kit but only realy stuff for learning on....................................bit like hiring a 125 or a 600 for your direct acess but have you tryed hiring an zx10r or maybe a gixer 1000............it just won,t happen cus they no you will just cain it......................same for jump kit............

[GRNINJA]

[Andy J]

a friend/workmate of mine who is no longer with us unfortunately was big into this skydiving malarkey and I think was addicted to it, I guess it's one of those things that you love or hate

Hi Guys, sorry to drag an old post up but thought i let you in on my latest.

was my birthday this week and this missus bought me a tandem jump at Langar Air field in Notts.

Well what can i say only i think i sht at least 20 bricks....  but what an awsome ride.

she looked at what they call static line where i could jump on my own after a days training or so but the problem is no freefall, hence shoot opens straight away.

so tandem was decided by her  and well as above wowwwwwww... 

not going to go on about war and peace but ive just signed up for the Full AFF Package, ive done some stuff in my time but this has beat everything hands down.
you guys and gals need to try this if you aint already cos it blew my mind.

I was going to start a new topic on it but i know a couple of us where talking about it ages ago and after spending all this week looking into it decided not to do spain as it looks a better deal at first but not really.

if anyone wants any info about it i have some so just pm me.


roll on AFF and Summer, cant wait to ride the beast to air strip and then jum out of a perfectly good airplane.....

yeh it is costly on tandem, langar charge 260 on a weekend or 230 i think in the week.

courses &  kit are costly but prices for jump dont seem to bad, specially if you block book

[zx10r bob]

you will defo love it...............i had done most extreme things then when i started jumping ,i was hooked.............the kit is well cool as well,,,just like bikes i suspose,,,,,,



if i was 5 stone lighter i mite even start again,,,,,,,,,,but i got the bike now,and two big hobbys is out of the question...........but all the fun i have on the bike is no way near as good as skydiving,,but the two are simaler in the way of meeting cool people and having a good party scene 


me and the wife had some top times at langar,,,,,,,,,,,the boss down there was a husband and wife team,,,Dave & Angela hicklin   he is one of the top blokes in the skydiving world,,,and check this out his wife is the BPA jump pilot examiner  ...........and boy can see fly...........langar is a cool place,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,next time your there have a look in there old scrape books,,years 91,92 ish you mite see me doing some 40 ways,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


i have a look in the loft for some gear and ill get back two you with what i have left,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,have fun buddy.............im soooooooooooooooo jelussssssss
