  1. I dont understand what you mean. Since when does a terminal reserve opening kill you? If you didnt have a SkyHook you would be going just as fast when your reserved opened. Warwick University Skydiving Club
  2. as far as i am aware just turn up ;) Warwick University Skydiving Club
  3. yea, thats probably the better suggestion ;) Warwick University Skydiving Club
  4. Your best bet is find your way to banbury and then get the bus towards brackley. Speak to the bus driver and ask him to drop you off outside the turn off to the dropzone. From there its a good 15 minute walk along the track to the DZ but stick your thumb out and a kind jumper will usually give you a lift from there. Warwick University Skydiving Club

  6. whats their experience level and what are they jumping at the moment? Warwick University Skydiving Club
  7. i see your point, but to be honest, what could be more difficult or full proof than looking at a little window and checking the colour of the kill line? Warwick University Skydiving Club

  9. Hey Firstime, I think your quoting the wrong bit there. The bit that makes this guy an asshat and a 100 jump wonder was the following response: Marc Warwick University Skydiving Club
  10. Hey Paul, Am I right in assuming for the 4-way, that the whole dive pool (including blocks) will be used? Marc Warwick University Skydiving Club
  11. hey ross, nice to hear your having fun Sounds like the party was a real blast, would have loved to come, hehehe. See you around. Marc Warwick University Skydiving Club
  12. since when has that been a 'UK' dropzone? Warwick University Skydiving Club
  13. my first reaction is usually to pull that individual to one side, once out of ear shot of said instructor and explain why I believe the contrary might be true; using evidence both for and against so that the individual can make up their own informed decision. To be honest it doesnt happen to often and then only usually with instructors from other dropzones where things can understandably be taught or interpreted differently.
