I totally agree. We are some of the richest people in the world! I pity those poor bastards that are rich with nice alpha romeo's and mansions yet don't skydive. Money ain't really the answer to anything. Money lets you do what ya wanna do and as long as you can do that your set Happyness is much better then money

Yep our Aussie notes have got little clear windows and a cirlce that has to ligne up on both sides. Can't remember when it changed to the 'plastic' stuff exactly.. something like 10 years ago i guess. I was pretty little. They where massive to. Anyone seen pacific money..all of the stuff seems like its counterfeit! In New Caledonia there 1 and 2 franc coins are literally plastic!

Plus safetly wise as i understand it no skydiving helmet is rated. Just read inside a factory diver or any helmet like that.. can't remember what it says exactly but something along the lines of it 'may' not supply any protection from injury and stuff like that.

I'm really not sure anymore... a couple of years ago definetly but now i ain't sure. Its really weird... i used to rock climb and never had a problem with heights at all but a while ago was on this massive bridge kinda viewing platform thing...say 30 meters off the ground and it was all wiggy... the only way i can figure it is skydiving has made me scared of LITTLE heights but i'm fine with BIG ones...go figure

From what i read of that article the mantis position is to increase manevrability rather then increase speed?... Please correct me if i'm wrong. -
1 (the number of planes we had this weekend :2:0 Well this weekend our Nomad was temporarily dead so all we had was the 206, and since the tandems and aff's took priority only go two in...not to bad i guess.

Yeah we got a rigger that stoped jumping bout 10 years ago i guess so just packs student rigs and reserves now. We was telling me that after he broke his colar bone jumping he'd gotten all out of jumping that he wanted.

Nah we don't own it yet..we were trialing it Not really sure how to describe it but it has the engine from a Cessna 206 in it but its wider and a little longer. A fat 206 if you will With six of us in it, it was mad. No packup at all! We had our legs outstretched relaxing I'll scan ya a pick later if ya like

In going with this topic what is the lowest anyone would cutaway. Its my understanding that a reserve opens in around 500ft so dependent on circumstances there's no way i'd cutaway below 1000. That said I am always open by 2 grand or a little over. Just wondering what you guys would do?..
