Good luck.

So, I guess you'll have a static line since its your first jump...or will you pull the rip cord your self?

It must be cold in the U.K, its about 17F during the day here in Canada.

Good luck Craig, and remember what my old parachute instructor at Brize used to say "Adrenalin is brown and runs down your leg!" :o

Okay roll-up roll-up, its time for the 'Will CrazyCraig survive sweep-stake' ;D
I'm putting my money on him surviving it, being scared out of his brain, and loving it.

Any takers
Ozzy ;D ;D ;D

Ever heard of strop failure? Or the Irish parachute packer? True with static line the odds are better.... But it's still a dangerous game!
