packing - it all fits in the rig and comes out ok so I guess it's good exits - getting out is the easy bit, it's the rest thats hard belly flying - for short periods free-flying - for short periods (this and above normally in the same jump) RW - most is 3-way so far and they didn't beat crap out of me so can't have been that bad spotting - GPS is very clever landings - yes I always land CRW - scary!!!

Excellent one. Hope you get your jump and I'm sure you'll love it. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

My new jump suit hasn just turned up, got some real funny looks when I tried it on in the office

I must admit that I've done well this year and have been able to ump pretty much every weekend I've wanted to, there have been a couple of half days or hop-n-pops but they are all fun. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

Nicky I see your up in the UK it may be worth checking out the BPA website http://www.bpa.org.uk/, one of the pages on here will give you links to your nearest dropzone (probably Chatterisor or Headcorn). As for the costs, a tandem should cost you about £200, if you decide to carry on and do AFF this'll cost you about £1300 in the UK, or if you can do a winter trip to the US it won't cost much more all in and you'll get a holiday too. From what I've seen you can spend pretty much as much as you want on kit, but think you should be able to get alti, helmet, jumpsuit a 2nd hand rig etc. for about £2500. If you go t the BPA site and take the link to the mag it should give you all the info you need. Have fun Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

The nobody-loves-him-asshole-skydiver uses the money he gets to smuggle drugs ino the country using skydiving as the method but the weight of the drugs puts his wing loading to high and he goes is? Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

And after to help enjoy the vibe. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

How about an other requirements (and possibly overriding one) of always trying to be better. Whether it's: Having a higher Yuppie Sky Diver number (just for bbarnhouse) Being a better skydiver being a better person being able to drink more beer being able to see more boobies!!!

I did my pre 2nd jumps with booties last weekend. Wow what a differenceit made, turns were so much faster and the tracking was stunning, just generally much more controllable. Glad I ordered them on my new jumpsuit that should be turning up any time. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

In the UK health care isn't reallya problem as long as you don't mind waiting, but i did check with my works PPP and they couldn't find a problem with it. I even checked with my life insurance from work and with the mortgage and they both said that as long as I didn't know I was going to take up the sport when I took out the policy it wasn't a problem, sure it will be a problem from now on though.

Loads probably but I though this one was right for a skydiving forum!! Nick Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

Not sure if this one's been posted on here before but I'll send it anyway. A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. "Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life." "The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children, things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. "The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car." "The sand is everything else, the small stuff." If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. "The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party etc. Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." But then...A student took the jar which the other students and the professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in it a glass of beer (god only knows why a student had a glass of beer in a lecture). Of course the beer filled the remaining spaces within the jar making the jar truly full. The philosophy student then turned to the professor and the rest of the class and made the following astounding and enlightening statement. "No matter how full your life is, there is always room for BEER." Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!
