StSanta I have to thank you...

[deSelys]

I finished my AFF course today and made my 2 first solo jumps.


The vid 'unpowered human flight' that you posted some weeks ago strengthened my decision to try skydiving.

Many thanks. I'm hooked.


(I jump there: Skydive Center Spa)

COOOLNESS dude!

Your life will change for the better .

Some advice:

while flatfly suits look impressive to the newcomer, especially compared to clowny freefly suits, once you get a few jumps you realize they're just a catsuit latex things submissive beatches wear. DO NOT wear one.

Why'd ya want to fall on yer belly at 180km/h when ya can go head down at 380?

Freeflying is where the fun is. It's tough to get started and unlike flatflying, you're gonna spend a good deal of jumps just getting stable falling down the tube in a sit. However, the rewards follow the difficulty and once you get spocked/spock someone, you'll forever wonder wtf people are bellyflying.

You jump in Germany? Cool - how 'bout we get together and do some jumps next summer? Even better; come to Russia next year. Plenty of Germans there

Come to the dark side. Be a freeflier

I've been looking into this with a couple buddies, but we couldn't find anything in Lux. Spa is not too far... going to do it this summer.

Thanks for the tip. The rental of the gear (included goggles, altimeter and helmet) is free while I'm a student and I won't invest into anything before I know which way I want to go (general direction is DOWN )

Freeflying looks too darn cool but I won't get into this without a top-notch harness, container and canopy. I've read already too much warnings about possible broken bones or even harness ejection caused by premature opening at high speed or in sitfly position. I'm a father of two, and I don't want to become a statistic. I'm going to experiment everything one baby step at a time.

And for the moment, I'm going through the nightmare of folding !

I'll be delighted to meet you someday. I'd like to take part to a boogie maybe next year, even as a total newbie. But please contact me if you come to or near Belgium (yeah, Spa is in Belgium....unsurprisingly, Saw, as the average frenchie, hasn't even noticed! ).

Saw, if you ever do this without contacting me beforehand, I'll have you deported to France by the first guano cargo plane!!! I still owe you a couple of beers and this would be the perfect occasion (may I suggest you to try the first AFF jump instead of a tandem jump if you think that you could continue. It is only a bit more expensive, much more interesting and the cost will be deduced if you sign for the full course afterwards. Have a look on the website)

Another one joins the Meatbombwaffe.  

[deSelys]

ROFL Funked! And if you ever catch the scent floating in some planes during the climb-out (caused by stress, hastily eaten meal, and gases expansion due to the lower atm pressure...), you'll know for sure that some of us are dirty bombs

[Octavius]

LOL dirty bombs.

Congrats deSelys!  I shall join the Meatbombwaffe... someday.

[Saintaw]

Hehehe but of course!

What kind of expenses are we talking for a week end?

...Guano cargo plane, lol
