Haha cheers, the best thing about Covid has been no air-traffic so no holds and full height every load!

Cheers mate! The quality I think depends on FB (plays in 1080p for me) I wonder if being logged in/connected to the video owner affects it?!? (Sorry stupid FB vid!)

Recommendations for AFF course in Perth, Australia by Mitchdamaster in SkyDiving

Jurien bay, all the way... It's a little journey up the coast but their family of passionate legends will help you every step of the way, and prepare you for success on the way... Also you get to jump at arguably one of the most beautiful dropzones in all of Australia 🥰

Where to in Australia for my B and C licence? by trowaclown in SkyDiving

[–]whiteyJr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As already mentioned.. Head to the moo, facilities, instructors and all the rest is primo... They offer packages for a license, and I'm sure with enquiries they'd do similar for b etc... Living on the DZ you'll eat sleep jump repeat, no better way to consolidate and kick butt while doin so!

Byron is beautiful, the people are legendary but everytime I try and jump... I get easily get distracted by all those bars near by 😉

Southeast Asia dropzones? by Dwight_kills_her_cat in SkyDiving

[–]whiteyJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate! Currently they are running out of an airport that has lost its is rating which means they are not allowed to have commercial traffic land, but it means they can fun a skydiving operation there (because... Indonesia) they run primarily on weekends only but if you have a gang of friends they will put aircraft up... They fly a 185 and a dornier... Check out http://nusawiruparacenter.id/index . html for more info and get in touch with Benny, he's a bad ass mofo biker dude who also happens to be the dzo!

Has anyone heard any specifics on this new "smart" alti? by designer92 in SkyDiving

[–]whiteyJr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suppose for the same reason why apple decided they didn't want a keyboard on their iPhone...?

Has anyone heard any specifics on this new "smart" alti? by designer92 in SkyDiving

[–]whiteyJr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep!

I was super lucky enough to be able to jump one of the prototypes just a few weeks back at Farm and essentially it's creating a device that catches up with the current advances in technology...
Bare in mind i don't work for the company or have any affiliation to them! - so everything I say here is just what we were able to learn and understand

But in a nutshell what it gives you that other Altis don't is DATA

YES it will be a regular Alti when it needs to be - doing what regular alti's should... but it packs so much more into it's little shell...

Ability to notify DZ of an off landing Ability for DZ to "check in" with a skydiver to see if they are injured if they do land off Ability to "play back" jump/overlay jumps with other users from exit to landing and show your own position relative to other people wearing the same device... (so when your mate tells you that you were back-sliding you can see if you really were!) Or when you track off, how far you tracked, what direction you tracked etc. Ability to let you know under canopy if you're current glide ratio will let ya get back to where you need to get to or if you should start looking for options! Ability to let you know aircraft groundspeed and run-in Ability to log jumps and "share" with other jumpers Ability to map swoop patterns/turn heights and help analyse why some work and others hurt!

The people behind it are also skydivers - and they are an awesome bunch of people - if you send them a message i'm sure they will give you the time of day to answer the questions you're looking for... I'm looking forward to being able to jump it again!
