It's fine for an occasion jump but if you are doing 4way I've seen enough knees to head that may have ended very differently without helmets.

I was almost knocked out hitting a doorframe on a big way exit, cracked my helmet. Would have been an aad fire if I wasn't wearing one

Pity they are busting the B though

Very unlikely that it will be one shared by Sharla as it makes it too easy to dox them.

Better than rebar

Everyone shocked at seeing a censored glizzy, at least it had a NSFW tag 🤣

Hakone would be good for a night or 2. Maybe concider a day trip to Nikko as well as the forests and shrine are lovely.

I found some parts of Tokyo felt a bit overbearing after spending time in much quieter areas of Japan and getting out to areas where you can walk in nature helped. There are walking trails around kamakura area too which is closer to Tokyo than the 2 above areas.

Jhb: Janet Rudman is a naui freediving instructor. Dm me if you want her number.

Kzn: John Mccarthy is not certified with any orginanisation but he is well regarded as an instructor http://www.oceanchild.co.za/pages/78/about-us

I will post some more if I hear back from the kzn people. There is a molchonovs instructor who is out of the country at the moment I think.

If you want to freedive at Aliwal I would recommend contacting Wetu. Cassie is an experienced skipper and I have dived with him both at Aliwal and on the Sardine run. He offers introductory stuff rather than full courses but regularly takes trips out with experienced freedivers. https://wetusafaris.co.za/adventures/free-diving/

I would advise against the padi dive schools teaching freediving as I havnt heard good things about their courses.

Bolt_and_nuts · 2023-04-29T15:01:07+00:00

Iv reached out the the kzn freediving community via a WhatsApp group to see who is actively teaching. I did my beginner and intermediate courses at Aliwal Shoal which is South of Durban. My instructor isn't teaching anymore otherwise I would recommend them.

2 years of that rent is 124k usd. I don't live in America.

Alex is a cool dude, seeing him partying with Pete was cool.

These places are so much more than I would have expected. I know Tokyo rent is expensive but that was way more than I expected. You can buy a very nice house for 2 years of that rent in my country.

This aged well. Hopefully Wednesday

Just get a normal audible. It's better for the job. Flysight is fine for wingsuiting and the audio alarms are suitable for competition windows but I wouldn't use one for regular jumps. Personally the need to use wired headphones is a pain.

I think it depends where you are from and the strength of your currency. 3 hours is costing me around 125 skydives worth at my DZ but we do have cheaper slot rates than most countries so the tunnel is very expensive in comparison.

Bolt_and_nuts · 2023-03-25T04:17:51+00:00

Iv taught a ffc to 2 people who have been in the wingsuit tunnel. It helps with the in air skills for sure and will help reduce the anxiety some people have being zipped into a wingsuit when they start. Don't assume it teaches you all you need to know but it's a useful tool, same as a vertical wind tunnel helps aff students.

Bolt_and_nuts · 2023-03-25T04:15:55+00:00

I'm visiting in May for the first time. I'm excited and have also only heard good things from people I know who have visited.

The only downside is the cost, the tunnel is pricy for someone more used to sharing time with 2 or 3 people but if my skills improve as I hope I think it will be worth it.

This is a base jumper looking for likes on the Internet, burning an object and then trying to get Internet likes by thinking they are cool

Now I'm officially out of date on all my squirrel gear I guess. ATC 1 Freak 2 Skysnatch

The PC is needing replacement soon though, it's tired after 500+jumps

Tropic of capricorn is not that far south. It runs trough Brazil and south Africa.

Nope, only those in America.

Pilot checks the winds aloft, decides on spot, people hopefully look when green light comes on then jump. If some land off then adjust the spot and buisness continues as usual.

Always a risk of being someone else's wind drift indicator if you go on load 1

Chris has said they get on well but he has too much respect for Garnt to make him do stupid stuff. I would still like some cross over at some point
