    I hope you're joking. maybe I should have added a smiley to indicate the tone of my post, like or or maybe I didn't realise that anyone would take me seriously!

    you have to not open your parachute too early, cos if you do then you might get sucked up into the rotor [edited to add: for those unsure of basic physics, don't take this comment seriously!]

    I'm thinking of getting these goggles: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLIMBING-SKY-DIVING-PARACHUTING-HAND-GLIDING-GOGGLES-/200495386223?pt=UK_SportingGoods_OtherSports&hash=item2eae74ce6f Anyone tried them for skydiving? Any info on fit, and wind seal? Are they well made? Thanks for looking

    I would suggest you contact the Polish dropzone, to see what licence they teach, then contact the BPA to see if they endorse it. I think some licences require a "conversion" jump to ensure that you fully meet the BPA requirements, but I doubt that you would not be able to jump back here at all

    http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ukskydiving.co.uk says that the guy's name is Andrew Lovemore, and gives an address. The whois link gives another address I think. You might be able to google some more info about him / the company. Hope it wasn't a scam

    "The landing is a bendable landing." - they're clearly members of SoFPiDaRF I wish that when I got my licence through it declared me "abundant to yield on the sky solo!"

    "Gone from Velo 84 to pulse 150 .... Will still jump the Velo but only when it suits" Isn't this in some ways more dangerous than just continuing to jump the velo? Depending on your jump numbers etc, you will become less current on the smaller canopy, and less familiar with its characteristics. I understand that currency is almost as significant as jump numbers in this sport? [usual newbie disclaimer etc]

    That is so cool! Loving it! Pretty sure Batman never grins like that though
