    Im sure he could get work at most DZ's even just as a packer...start here http://www.apf.asn.au/ If he is in melbourne then Nagambie DZ would be a good place to try!
  10. A '99 vector with 200 jumps. That's a PD150 with 400 jumps, but im swapping it for a 170 with a girl at my DZ for a while which is really cool, and a 150R. It fits like a dream too!
  11. I just picked up my first rig from the post office, its better than i could have ever imagined, im in love already!! Sorry, im excited
  12. haha sounds like karma and you should just forget the tandem and go straight to solo! i know what you mean about it being like xmas eve again though, my new rig gets here tommorow and im SO excited i dont think ill be able to sleep!!! it's like im 5 years old all over again
  13. A couple of jumps ago on a sunset load i opened at 5k and just happened to watch a 2-way freefall not too far in front of me for about 4 seconds silouetted against the setting sun. That sealed it for me.
  14. The few seconds when the doors opens for tandems creates THE greatest facial expressions ive ever seen! Ill never get sick of that...
  15. Skithouse did have that one 'news report from iraq' though, that's a classic!
  16. I still use hire gear and it's always been with an FXC, but one rig i used saturday now has a CYPRES in it and i had to ask how to turn it on... No dramas
  17. He should have kept quiet and scored some life insurance cash $$$
  18. OK, dilemma. I have half-curly hair that is really annoying and unmanageable. Anyway, tonite my girlfriend used a hair straightener on it and it ended up looking extremely cool. Is it a bit too 'metrosexual' of me to take ownership of her old hair straightener??
  19. Maybe it's the end of the world? You could always move down under, blue skies here Best of luck, we've all been amazed at the magnitude of it all down here.
  20. Since ive started jumping and my friends have found out, ive found they've mostly become distant towards me, am i just paranoid or is this normal? I am meeting a great bunch of new people though..
