  1. Going to 18K usually depends on the tandems. If a tandem does it and you are on the load, no extra charge for the AFF. The fun jumpers are required to upgrade if that happens though. A couple of weeks *should* be enough to get all of your AFF done and more. I have never been here in April so I can't say what the weather is like at the time. Your profile says you have nine jumps. Are you so uncurrent that you will have to start over? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  2. Yeah, it only takes about six minutes to 15K. Maybe eight if its a full load. Sometimes we go to 18K, but that takes almost nine minutes!! The wait is terrible!! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  3. You can actually do stills with handcam, by using frame grabs on the video. The quality is absolute crap, but you get 'em. As a TI, I like handcam only for the additional income it gives me. However, it's one more thing I have to worry about and would rather have an outside vidiot come along. The quality is much better and I think the student has more fun with a vidiot that interacts with them. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  4. Unfortunately, never going to happen. This has become the nation of couch potatoes and lard asses with no incentives to exercise. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  5. I was there a couple of months ago..Sydney Skydivers (picton) went to all hand-cam, Simply Skydive (penrith) openly advertises for nothing but hand-cam. Wollongong was doing the same. Try "Just Jump Skydiving" in Hunter Valley...they advertise an outside cameraman will video the experience. Or...you could just do tandems!! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  6. Get more horizontal distance between you and the tandem pair when doing the shot from above. A lot more. A couple of those it looked like you came a little too close to the drogue bridle. Any parachute can deploy at any time!! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  7. Pessimistic, much??? I seriously doubt he is going to ignore the 22nd amendment. My guess is that if things continue on the current trend, he will gladly leave office with his tail tucked between his legs. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  8. Truer words have never been spoken!! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  9. Before too long the medical costs associated with obesity will be #1 if it isn't already. The article is from 2004. http://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/pressrel/r040121.htm “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  10. I think this is the answer... http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  11. Is there any point to this thread at all, other than yet another bush-bashing? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  12. Or use firefox...i very rarely get popups with it. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  13. You need help!!! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  14. You don't consider a hole in the building the size of a jumbo jet adequate ventilation? Not to mention blown out windows due to the impact? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  15. Perhaps I will send my alien friends from Roswell over to convince him
  16. Fixed it for ya!! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  17. A christmas miracle? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  18. It didn't collapse from just fire..perhaps the fact that a jumbo jet ran into had something to do with it? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  19. And John Mark Karr came forward and admitted to killing JonBenet Ramsey...hmmm...how did that turn out? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  20. Then perhaps you should go reread billvon's posts. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  21. This thread is fascinating. Point after point has been debunked, yet the poster refuses to acknowledge that and instead asks his questions again hoping for answers that will fit his theory. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  22. New Zealand it will be required as of Jan 1 “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  23. Not only rigging, but be willing to do other things as well...mowing, weed eating, basic dz maintenance. There's always cleaning that needs to be done at a DZ! Plus, it helps pass the time when it's cloudy. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  24. Yeah, that'll happen in our lifetime. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  25. What the student wants is more important, obviously. It's not that hard to ask the student what they would prefer. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
