  1. Hmm i need to clarify. My parents know i want to jump really badly, im just wondering if i should tell them the exact date of my AFF1, or suprise them with the fact that i have jumped soon afterwards
  2. Nah, ive been riding too-fast sportbikes since i was 16 my mum is used to be toying around with death they donbt mind the idea of me jumping, they jkust think ill be too shit scared to go through with it, i cant wait to see the look on their faces hehe
  3. I dont even want video.....i just want to say, 'yeah i skydived last week', but realyl think i should in case i bounce or something that'd be a reallllll shock to find out i got killed skydiving out of the blue
  4. HEy people! My parents know that i want to skydive, but im wondering if i should tell them the exact weekend i do my AFF1, or just tell them afterwards...i really dont think that theyll think ill go through with it. I think it would be cool to go home one weekend and say 'i skydived last weekend' hehe should i tell them in case 'something goes wrong'?
  5. Try being a postie (postal worker in USA?) on a little motorbike, everyone tries to run over me i dont know how im still alive haha
  6. IM originally from a country town so i have that group of friends, plus my new huge group of city friends and now ill soon have skydiving friends too....i dont know what to do, theres not enough days in the week to keep everyone happy
  7. I was snorkelling in new caledonia (south pacific) a couple years ago and i was attacked by a clown fish, dont fall for their cute looks they are very aggresive little fishies hehe
  8. Hmm, i dont fear death, but i fear how my death will affect my loved ones....if that makes sense
  9. I'll be travelling abroad from australia in a year or so for a fairly long time, just wanted to know what the rules are regarding being allowed to jump in other countries....would an A licence be accepted most places? I figured at least more than one of you would have done something like this already
  10. You need an official warning or similar from DZ staff or management, and further action if it continues. There should be some sort of procedure for that sort of thing? Make it VERY clear the behavious is dangerous and wont be tolerated. Good luck!
  11. Just wanting to know the average rate that people have to repeat AFF stages and what the causes are (so it might not happen to me

    Average Joe

    I saw something like this on ricki lake once (im as ashamed as i should be, yes hehe) where they blindfolded someone and made them spend a day with someone that they would automatically hate from their appearance (who they hadnt seen before) and the results were amazing breaking down racism barriers and the such...
  13. My Barossa Valley in south australia is world famous for yummy wine
  14. You people jump out of planes towards the earth at 200kmh and yet you're scared of a harmless bug that would be more petrified of you! You should be ashamed haha
  15. I know a guy that got a nasty bowel infection from always swimming naked in his pool and getting 'violated'
  16. How about hitting an old DZ buildings roof? So you'd hit that but go through it so you wouldnt be deccelerating to Zero...then youd have to survive the drop from the roof to the floor...which would be much easier. Workable?

  22. Welcome cesslon, good luck with this weekend! What state are you in? Im in SA. Ive had to fork out a heap on equipment for my new job so my jumping has been delayed for a few more weeks
