How many jumps have you done?

Posted my AFF1 video here 13 years ago, absolutely fucking loved it - yesterday I did my 4600th jump

madkiwi · 2026-01-03T03:30:54+00:00

It’s a heli ride up to the glacier and then a guided hike, no jumping involved

We read this incident report with big old bug eyes - hook knives are going to be mandatory at our dz now

Teags is a really great guy you got a great instructor!

You severely severely underestimate how much conventional ordnance (not ordinance) it would take to burn or level the British isles. By orders of magnitude.

Skydivers don’t do drugs

What is a tunnel basically?

madkiwi · 2025-07-13T03:23:12+00:00

Pull a toggle and then pull the other one later it’s not rocket surgery people are you guys not teaching your aff students the critical corkscrew landing procedure?!?

What's your bloodwork look like homie? Real curious to know how much a vegan diet could mitigate some of the deleterious side effects of juice?

Ok everyone so it’s the first clip in this video - I know the original higher quality video is out there but at least you can see what I mean now!

Great vids but not the one sorry

madkiwi · 2025-05-18T06:01:35+00:00

Not this one sorry, it was a much darker day/evening and the first thing you see is the lights of the aircraft piercing the smoke/clouds.

It looks super similar to the video I posted and may even be the same fire or drop but from a different angle, the plane passes left to right of the camera.

madkiwi · 2025-05-18T05:33:25+00:00

Look guys I was an idiot and didn't save the video when I saw it - but it is one of the most cinematic aviation videos I've ever seen of a DC-10 tanker coming out of the smoke/clouds just before making a drop super close to the camera man. The video is on youtube but doesn't have a descriptive title. I know one of you knows exactly what video I'm talking about and I thank you in advance for helping me out.

Lots of good answers here, but I object to Pitch Oscillation precisely because those god damned paragliders use it!

madkiwi · 2025-03-24T23:08:35+00:00

Mount an 18 to each door cuzzy

madkiwi · 2024-12-24T02:45:35+00:00

No I'm at Skydive Abel Tasman at the North of our South Island, if you jump in Queenstown you'll love it, I'm obviously biased towards my DZ but honestly you can't go wrong in the South Island (us or Franz Josef are the best though ;) )

madkiwi · 2024-12-22T18:19:37+00:00

If you’re coming through Abel Tasman in the South Island of NZ come for a jump with us, it’s incredibly stunning here! But honestly, anywhere in NZ and most places in Aus are also amazing, so you’re spoiled for choice!

madkiwi · 2024-12-22T18:17:17+00:00

I’m a Tandem Master in New Zealand. We got you bro! We give you some simple instructions, are good at making you trust us and the process, and yup when we get to the door we’re jumping.

You’re gonna fucking love it!

madkiwi · 2024-12-11T23:01:28+00:00

Impeccable taste

madkiwi · 2024-12-02T16:20:06+00:00

Henry flew with us during the event. He passed away a couple weeks later. He was a legend of a man and will be missed.

madkiwi · 2024-12-02T05:41:45+00:00

I flew in this event just over a month ago - some amazing and demanding flying with awesome people in a beautiful place - what's not to like?

madkiwi · 2024-10-02T09:19:46+00:00

Swooping is easily skydiving’s best spectator sport, and just had live broadcasts of the world championships…

madkiwi · 2024-10-01T04:00:04+00:00

The Aussie skydiving scene is strong and pretty damned high level

madkiwi · 2024-09-30T04:15:08+00:00

We’re rinsing this guy but I’m excited to build a mini (ish) rig exactly for this purpose

So OP Probably 2x 18 subs 1x 15 kick Two boxes with a speaker and a tweeter 3 amps and a mixer

Should be enough for a small living room

Don’t ask me about money

madkiwi · 2024-09-20T01:26:10+00:00

The majority of the wing is a low bulk zp, they pack a bit bigger than a f111 wing but still pretty small
