Newbie from South Africa

[NeilRobertson 0]

Hi all,
I'm a newbie from Johannesburg, South Africa was a military jumper 27years ago and at last am back, i'm difinately not the youngest jumper at the club, but totally addicted anyway. My home DZ is Witbank. Done 51 jumps and busy with my ISP, loving it being in the sky with another jumper. Just about to start buying my own rig.

Cheers

Welcome Neil!
Yes there are several jumpers from South Africa that post here, as well as in the industry.
It's pretty cool to go to boogies here in the US and hear them all speaking "some" language from that continentWe'll expect nothing less from you! LOL
Cheers!

Thanks for the invite, would love to come to FL but won't make it this year. Trying to organise a skiing trip to the USA in Dec/Jan, maybe we can stop by then. Do you jump in the winter?

[sunnydee123 0]

HELL YEAH - we jump year round here in Fl ...have fun on that ski trip - I've had too many skydiving friends come back "broke" after those kind of trips.

Dankie, Dis "awesome" om weer in die lug te wees. Ek kom die 16de Kaap Stad toe en as die weer dit toelaat sal ek 'n paar sronge kom doen. Sien jou dan.

Hi Neil, SCT or Citrusdal? (I guess only SCT open on the 16th...)

btw guys - what is the official afrikaans word for "skydiving"?? want julle praat die taal so mooi, ek is oorspronklik van durban af en ek is nie baie vlot nie!
