poohbeer

couple of questions since I'm a complete newbie at this shit. (1 tandem, AFF in the planning) Why is it dangerous to jump in a cloud? Is a plane supposed to have seatbelts? The plane I made my tandem from didn't even have seats, let alone belts?! ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!!

Heheh, back on the ground with my 2 feet. VERY glad I did a tandem first.. without the big guy attached to my back controlling everything would have been too much to enjoy the flight at all I think. But DAMN, it was like a minute and poof, back on the ground.. even under the chute it didn't take half as long as I tought. Hehehe, what to do now.. do another tandem or do AFF.. Altitude awareness was non existing (who needs it when attached to a jumpmaster uh). I also was more aware of what I was doing (falling) then realy enjoying myself. So when I struck dirt again that was like.. woow.. I'm down again.. let's let this sink in a bit

Euhhm.. EVERYBODY is intrested in money/making money so if he gets your money and doesn't know you it's gone. And if that 3rd person knows you why would the buyer wanna work this way? ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!!

Bot someone warned me.. april 4th isn't even a sunday so that date must be wrong.. oh well, tonight I have a new date.. and hopefully before the 4th.

Highly unlikely since I'll be doing a tandem jump first ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!! "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Will do, if I don't look too scared Will do, if I am not too scared! ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!! "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Perhaps it might be a good idea to divide peoples signatures from the normal post. Now I often have trouble seeing where the posts end and the signature starts. ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!!

Mmm, k, that is the most expensive video in the country btw!! :( Are you sure I do not need to book in advance for tandem AND video? People here persuaded me for the video.. will probably be nice to see again later. Question: what times does these things start? midday? afternoon? ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!!

GRMBL, just when I had made up my mind about doing the tazndem first you and slotperfect come up and ruin it al Poll says 14 to 13 in favor of AFF. Ghehe, guess I have some deciding to make. JoHawley: I contacted them all I guess. Malle (closest to me) has no plane at the moment. Hoevene simply doens't respond to my email and phonecall for almost 2 weeks now. Paraclub vlaanderen has 3 DZ's, 1 (Moorsele) I haven't contacted yet caus it's far far away, Schaffen answered my inquiries about AFF and left a number to call for tandem (no answer there yet). The 3d (Zwartberg) I've only just emailed so no respons yet. Spa has a proiblem with there mailserver/dns server whatever and still has not gotten my email I think. Temploux is all french, a language I do not speak well enough to rely on it when jumping out of a plane. Could you perhaps tell me if Spa has Dutch speaking instructors? Perhaps I'll come over.. but it's a long drive so I am hoping for more info on Schaffen or even Zwartberg. ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!!

mmm, still leaning towards AFF but that's only for summer zo I'll probably end up^doing a tandem before that.. if those bloody dropzones ever respond to my emails and phonecalls that is Get the video.. wasn't planning on doing that.Is it worth iot? like €50 for a 2 minute video?! ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!!

Yep, decided, I realy want to jump out of a plane and freefall. But I admit, when I see those pictures of people hanging out the door ready to jump.. it kinda scares me. So now the question, do I "waste" 200 euros on a tandemjump or act tough and do AFF at once? Is the reassurance from a tandem often needed or does AFF look spookier from te ground then when up there? First post also so Hi all! ;) ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!!
