paying For a bulk 200jump package
timmybuddhadude replied to timmybuddhadude's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
ok guys, here is a repeat of question posted ealier, WHICH I can delete if necessary. I expanded on long conversation before: Can anyone offer/beat Skydive Aukland 200 jump package..sport coachinG through aff, where you can drop 'out' and they will refund anything after Aff if you do not manage to reach/ go through to the whole 200 jump package (including camera training etc)..and work it out mathematically as $30 each jump..ie you pay a bulk* fee of 3600uk approx.. and they refund what you don't use. This is recommended and what I want 2 do.. Does anyone else/ ANY D.Z IN THE WORLD offer* the same deal? Let me know.. for the same price.. ie the states/uk/Brazil/Fiji..English speaking. If I have nothing to compare from anyone else, Mercer Airfield Aukland is what* will be done, this Summer! This is the last request* for advice before I book the flight and arrive there with 4000uk ! For full sport-jump training with own chute now after tandem/statics..whole hog. request from uk -
Right - I am going to BOOK the AUKLAND MERCER course. pay 4000£ uk up front, and if I drop-out it will only be after 100 jumps SO BEFORE I FLY AND GO THERE AND DO IT (this summer...sooooon) DOES/ CAN ANYONE OFFER A BETTER OFFER .. a whole load of cash up front for loads of training? I am pretty convinced I need over 100 at least, until I can put a 'chute' on my head, etc, freefly & get the grips/freedom/dynamics of that cheers WRITE BACK. This is a choice, someone else offer me it or I go to Mercer which is all good.. will have to be done I see no other way* cheers mercer. listening?...

So where are you now, Mr Mercer Bryn, are you a kiwi* and uk jumper?.. if so keep on writing and tell me more and combine a programme in the uk or sort one if you can, Have a look at what you can do* If you are working on auk ..dropzone, any other Alternative' but the nz courses which is all good and its summer, but this is the decision.... Aukland does seem a cool place to do it though when it comes to dough and offers, I cannot really loose but for flying all the way over there for 500 quid and haviing to re-arrange my life again and go hard out it and not fuck-up. You've got no idea* how hard and long it was to convince a uk bank to give me the dough for it, bro, bloody stupid&ironic. haha. Indirectly it had to come through another route, personal loan, Its not 'career development' etc even though that is higher % (or l.e.a) ..Oh, I sussed it, dont worry you are a kiwi/aussie pport holder jumping in nz tandem chch&auk and probably all over as you are a 'pro'. Mate, you guys have it lucky, the shiyt I have been through to get a 'loan' for it is unbelievable. Although an English dude'' worked for a year in a factory and saved* for the chch programme.. which personally I am unbothered/ prepared to do now thats one huge mission of saving .. once you have developed the 'taste'. That* was dedication, I wonder why he couldnt get a bank loan'?.. bad credit, no idea. But man he saved hard in a menial job for a year for the chch course.. RE S P E CT whoever he was, and dead/ extremely/ very etc etc inspiring.. that is DEDICATION. respect to steve and that that someone got the lea (S.link your 'area').stuff sorted in chch at last, and some government'' in the world stood up and paid notice, for jumping kids who want paid jump-work, and who dont want the raf route but wanna jump young . I mean the sports team, Bro. Hopefully other people/ curriculums/ tourist industries will take notice, and maybe I 1 day, or defo Mat can sort it.. Spread the word. And believe me, my word / I dont know much but I want and need to do it and I am english. At this stage it feels so right, and at 100 Iwould be satisfied, though yr invercaRgill/etc free snowboard courses are to be desired too for thosE guys( not my good footin)...thats an irrelevant subject.. but tasted&developed there/where you are /are from. w o w. It seems a mission to take a huge 'bank loan' 4 it and i am plopping it, but thats the only way, maybe I am just scared* about meeting guys(&girls)'better than me' and tasting that full career/movement ladder properly.. de blar gotta be done. Its aukland or somewhere else.. Can anyone provide a 'somewhere' else for the same/ less cost etc or is that the mission?. only and best way at the mo. Awaiting another idea or i will book and flight and go there, just called them last week &found out all details. Gotta get paperwork loans,etc finalised.

hi are you still about mat ..so whats the price for a similar programme, paying up front, 200 jump plus in uk.. can you (west of England).. or SOMEONE put ONE TOGETHER FOR ME and give a price?? pehaps I should post a new forum qqqq?? ie will it top 4 grande.. can someone offer me that here in uk too or do i need to go there to do it And why dont we convince the education authority the same, get it advertised and find* some business here, besidesArchitecture. tInto x

you sound a good person to talk to! (ex-Mercer) By aad i assume you mean auto-deploy, that's good, I gotta get 1 anyway. Also the right camera as I have a lid which is good ..1st bmx (no good ), then mbike now finally a sky-lid!! Its light, etc, so I gotta get a camera.. Bu that is ages away... SO the Spain deal you mention (I checked that too), Is still only 1250.00£ uk approx , you are right, but i don't know what the winds are like there now, etc (compared to Mercer/auk etc) Mercer's aff is 1250.00 approx 20jumps anyway, is it not? even on their 'now smaller' programmes... you sound cool to talk to (no offence mat, you do too..and Aggiedave you Know best..), because you worked at Mercer, that's basically what I am on the verge of doing. Yes, giving me that cash back sounds good. Do you think 'living' on the d-z as some guys there is a bit of a boring experience, shall I budget for a bike etc&commute to partyland?/? after n.z I realised&searched all of uk after seeing family for a 'geographical' place to live near a d.z. (and d.z. funding/banks etc vrs saving)and diving, aukland seems to have all that (unlike uk)..as a resident I can stay there too. A Then now I am thinking that if I jump full-time like you there.. yeah I get the point. Write more about Mercers size etc/ planes (just 1??).. vrs the 'Spain' one.. and thats not a bulk package/ i feel that what mercer offers though it is not nzqa (unfortunately), is brilliant with the money-back thing, V V V TRUE BIG CLAP to MERCER so whats the situation, size of planes, etc, I guess I can contact them hmmm... gotta go for now after this reply if you have 1??... SO just 2xbulk packages in the world? spain vrs auk and paying flight..what do you reckon? and while I add it, I think its ridiculous the uk doesn't fund it , jumping as nz does/ maybe even aus someday soon, as a videoographer sport-thingy, and Mat you should get onto that, as a uk pro.. besides the red arrow army route, etc. It needs to be developed as a business here too, lets consult the georaphy/geology/weather type guys, maybe that is a space/ uk thing> Personally, I think it is advertising, as a kiwi said to me just yesterday!... come into Gatwick/Heathrow there are 0%% ads, unlike auk/chch etc. GET ONTO IT UK. Not that I know much , I am only a few- jump guy ex raf vague-attempt yrs ago, who sat in on a few loop the loops when it comes to this, and have been strapped in the back of a huge war thing..and have done some statics and tandems.. but i need to twiddle and twist with a camera and make movies now BIG TIME HELP* give advice... more needed.... keep on talking dz.com
-
yeah I really hope I get answers from those that have done the courses too, that'd be cool Thanks man, Auk sounds good that they can give some money back and $30 a jump if you 'chicken out' at 100jumps, etc, it may be the way to go..to give them all the money, they give it back what you don't use'. wow, that's a good deal, I think I have answered my question.. fly to nz, do the Aukland course at this stage, get aff done, it'll just be a 600.00 flight, if I feel good enough after 100 jumps I will get the money back, and at least have my aff and half the money back , that was/ sounded a good deal. I think I will do that. THANKS FOR MAKING THE DECISION FOR ME! Do you, or anyone else(aggiedave,etc/states guys..) know of anywhere else* in the world that gives that 'training'?200 jumps commercial progs, etc? ..states/wherever.. bulk sport-coach packages. Let me know ,this would be cool to know, perhaps with theflight to nz/aus included though the weather! is good &right for 'jumping' now, it'd be cheaper ANY OTHER BULK-SPORT TRAINING PACKAGES?? ANY OTHER BULK-SPORT TRAINING PACKAGES?? Is there only two finally? also i have bought a 'sceptre'.rig&reserve prepared... what camera would you advise.. light etc
-
thanks dude, caffeine down The question is : shall I do that /those courses? I have funding now, I need advice on what people thinK about that, its a Whopping 11% interest over 7 years, and I can use the money for somEthing else too, if I blow* it on all that vrs But I do hear that jobs (camera ) in nz loads around ,to pay off immediately, etc.. that was my experience too, its a huge industry compared to uk and no/lack of advertising, etc. Keep on talking about another route (besides auk/chch) to obtain those skills, where to do AFF (don't say west of England!..cannot afford it/that, but did check it out.. I may fly to fiji,etc. There should be proper*funding here that covers that (uni programes,etc /student journeys//travel) Shall I just sit through the aff somewhere now, like Spain, etc, sit back, know I can jump, and then pay for a bulk package there..nz as a separate stage? I think what you said answers it, that I make the coach friends there to help me through it, but don't I have to pay them stacks more if done independantly, bit by bit.. I really dont understand. I guess I should just do the aff now, and not put all that cash into a 200 jump pot, after all, I may not be good enough and go back to working in a bar, etc. I am shit scared* of paying a huge amount and commiting to that as a course/degree, I have only done a handful of jumps, statics&tandems etc.. its a big jump is it not to go through to a whole course, but work in aus/ nz seems pretty much guaranteed by it for payback time. I guess I should just do the aff.. where is cheapest? I looked at this site. If i did it in columbia is that licence a registered aff too?

iS uNIVERSITY'' OF COMMERCIAL JUMPING vrs DOING aff SOMEWHERE/ PieCE by piece/COST OF GETTING TRAINING SPORTS- WISE from pro sports-trainers iNdependantly /individually over time/etc to build up to good pro standard... these courses provide sports jumping coaching ...(ie nz too).. HOW WILL I GET THAT* after aff if i pay 10.00£ uk etc 20.00£ for each individual jump (aircraft/ fuel costs etc), isnt that a trip, are people willing to 'teach me' hold my hands in the air (sounds doo-lallie) if just jumping individually? (not on comm.skydive programme)... I SEE NO REFERENCE to coach jumps, jumping independantly after aff 30 jumps. DOes that make sense? I SEE NO REFERENCE TO SPORTS COACHING AFTER I MAKE IT THROUGH MY AFF, UNLESS I DO THE 2/ one of programmes timmybuddhadude I SEE NO REFERENCE TO SPORTS COACHING I SEE NO REFERENCE TO SPORTS COACHING I SEE NO REFERENCE TO SPORTS COACHING

hi, thanks that was quick, bro! I need my aff i am in uk now, everyone i know trained in uk I basically now have funding for the nz course.. I am determined to get good at it. budget wise/ the auk and chch courses seem cheap , I need to get good at it and put a camera on my head (like you it seems 340!), but I don't know whether to take the full plunge into auklands £4000 course, then pay back the bank (with interest!) with that money uk prices are horrendous, and in kiwiland /aus it cheaper IS THAT 1 question???? NO! I can't think of 1!!!!

Hi! I need some advice, obviously I have just/ only done static lines and tandems, I need now * to progress to aff and through to commercial cameraman/ professional angles.. sport jumping/filming on head. This is my aim I see by looking at this website, that plenty of you are sports jumpers and seEm to do the video work for your OWN use, as well as just* for independant dropzones... ie you know what I mean, being a pro cameraman under a dropzone 'wage packet'. So can you give me advice?? ..Those more advanced '' than me a) are all skydive cameramen freelance? i presume the answer is yes>?? ie find your own jobs, contact the jobcentre..join their economy and marketing. WHere/ (if any!) are jobs advertised??? all over? is there a 'jump job' website?????.. like Scuba, there is... b) okay THERE ARE TWO COMMERCIAL SKYDIVE TRAINING VENTRES IN THE WORLD .. that I spy, AUkland and Christchurch . ..A BIG QUESTIOn FOR WHOEVER BROWSING THIS, PLEASE ANSWER!!.. For someone such as myself (just above experience...... help me, do you think I should take up a 200 sport jump(through aff) training programme, etc. Or do you think that after 100 jumps or even 30 in that 'time' I will be tired out, have the 'buzz' out of my system, and just want to do it as a sport job/ occasional freelance/ not full time, etc Say something* about this, please.. ie when you have gone through the aff, etc 20-30 , IS THAT A GOOD TIME* to sit down and relax and go 'wow'.. is that what you 'pro's did'? is from where i am ..jumping through to 200 jumps £4000/$8500 course too much to handle, or do you think that I should (which I am rapidly thinking, now that I have the funding!) that i should do the aff, feel/be satisfied with that... and give up on the rest for occasional growth etc Do people do/be on these programmes from 'scratch' ie tandems/ statics like me, or is it advised to do the 'aff' from where i can re-evaluate? and continue with my rafting/ other ventures/ work let me know thanks, any advice would be good a)aff as 1st step 2) whole training package 1st/next step! HELP! (that is not the sound of an unsafe 'chute' that is the sound of NEEDING ADVICE BADLY! from all you better and bigger,bolder and wiser than me, BEFORE I EMBARK ON THE WHOLE HOG MISSION! talk to me about how you feel about it/ that/those stages thanks ( I have my own 'shute' now too. 1st one) also costs for cheapest worldy recognized aff.. brazil vrs fiji vrs columbia (like scuba 60dive training is well cheap!)..or is that not the way* to look at it.. should i be 'looking at' the skies and scenes instead>? colour /mountains? timmybuddhadude
