  1. *** I used this one the other day and just got a blank open mouthed stare. "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  2. I would say that cost is a big factor too , better to burn up an $800.00 T10 than a 2-3000 dollar Ram -Air. "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  3. Sounds a bit hairy In Australia the lowest we go now is 1000ft. I jumped with the US Army a few years back, i love the way you spit chewed tobacco into a bottle and hand it to the dispatcher on the way out the door. "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  4. i think you will be safe PS. Please be careful when talking to an Australian. "Maybe I need a root canal" can be interpreted very differently down under. Cheers "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  5. Mate you obviously have a chip on your shoulder about the Military, could you not pass basic training or something ? BTW it was a civilian recruiter that told me the bullshit about the teeth. "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  6. Sticker on the back of a helmet "if you can read this i am too fat" "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  7. I was told during my Basic Training in the Army that i could not be a paratrooper because i had fillings in my teeth that would explode at altitide............ It still hasn't happened "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  8. My mate was spotting from a Caribou and plotted the streamer drift the wrong way. Had to cary 365sq MC-5 for about 1 km through some pretty dense bush "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  9. Oh sorry mate almost forgot, welcome to the best country on earth. "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  10. How's it Going You will have to get an APF (Australian parachute Federation) membership and apply to have your German licenses changed to thier Australian equivalent. Normal membership is 1 Year but you can apply for a life membership but it will cost you Membership costs and requirements for short term membership can be found at [www.apf.asn.aul] Hope this helps John "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes!

  11. Mate i got the same grief from my in laws. Fuck 'em Think of the "my mum/dad is bigger/better/cooler than yours" arguments they are winning at school. Chicks dig guys that jump out of planes ! "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  12. Along similar lines,I was just wondering if anyone knows any Transgender Jumpers. "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  13. Congrats Night Free Fall is something else isn't it. Like many others I learned to jump in the military where they have you doinig your first couple of free fall night jumps after about 30 day jumps, carrying combat equipment, into an unlit DZ (only the wind direction is indicated). PLF is the only choice unless the moon is up. The only plus is the great big bus of a canopy(375sq/ft). It is a great intro to night jumps but. "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
  14. Hi All I jump a Paraflite Robo Z 165 (loaded to just under 1.5) and for the life of me can't land the thing without crashing one way or another. Can anybody tell me if a Hybrid should be planed out and landed in a "2 Stage" type flare like a ZP or should it be flared in one movement like an F111. Any advice or any other tips are welcome.

  15. Finally a post in my area of expertise. If you are face planting from a PLF you are either not turning your feet of or turning the top 1/2 of your body the wrong way. Your feet should be as close to 90 deg to your direction of drift as you can achieve and when your body is at about 45 deg you should turn the shoulder closest to the ground, away from the ground so that you roll over the muscular part of your back. Don't forget a slight bend in your knees it will save your lower back. "Chicks dig guys that jump out of Planes! "
