mijaSkyFly 0 #1 December 20, 2009 Hey Guys! My name is Mike, I'm 18 years old and I come from Austria. I'm into skydiving since 6 months, and now I need your help. For my final exam in English, I have to write something about skydiving (about 20 pages).. First of all, I need 5 categories (headlines), for example: - How to pack the parachute - Disciplines - The beginners-course and so on.. Is there anyone who's able to help me? Or does anyone know where I can find a lot material for my work? (I need at least 20 DinA4 Pages in Microsoft Word) Thanks a lot!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcordell 2 #8 December 21, 2009 QuoteHi Mike How about you actually do the work yourself!!! Strange concept I know :-( regards Wayne Seems kind of rude since he didn't ask anyone to do the work for him, but rather t provide him with some resources to review to complete the work on his own. Where would you suggest he ask for pointers if not from the largest gathering of skydivers available online? Perhaps you should abstain from commenting if you have no intention of helping. To the OP. I saw someone put Packingmanuals.com on there reply, but I think they meant www.parachutemanuals.com as Packingmanuals.com seems to be a broken link. Hope that helps.www.facebook.com/FlintHillsRigging Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
