group ride/discount - mia06 - 17-03-2010
any queenslanders/ nth nsw wanting to get together and go sky diving, thought it would be a good ride/ get together as well. should be able to pull some good group discounts
I use to fly and jump for for a nsw dz as well, if anyone wants to organize one down nsw/canberra way i can hook you up with the right people.
a group of friends up here want do it up here and i thought maybe a club think would be a good idea

G'day mia06,

Al whats that old saying you Pilots always quote ?
Something about only a dickhead jumps out of a perfectly good plane ?
Bit like gliders ............... every landings a forced landing
RE: group ride/discount - busa666 - 17-03-2010
i dont mind a bit of a adrenilen rush incase you haven't noticed there mio6
RE: group ride/discount - 09Fatboy - 17-03-2010
great idea , ride and then jump and then ride home , i'd be keen for sure.
RE: group ride/discount - Heidi1 - 17-03-2010
I'd be shitscared, but I'd like to give it a go. Are you talking experienced jumpers or first-timers?
RE: group ride/discount - GCBusa - 17-03-2010
Sorry Al, I'm with Pete. Why jump out of perfectly good planes? Don't quite agree with the gliding bit though!!
RE: group ride/discount - mia06 - 17-03-2010
most dz do both tandem and cater for fun jumpers (APF qualified jumpers)
Was thinking byron or coffs forthe qld/nth nsw people
and i still have contacts down south either dono or the guy who taught me tuddy(retired sas ) without doubt one of if not the best skilled instructors in australia
or
dono (Was learning when i was,
) taught by tuddy if my memory serves me righthttp://askydive.com/photo_gallery.htm
i am sure i could pull a few strings on cost
pete and gc
" i had a old tshirt which read everyones dies but not everyone lives,"
i dont want to be 90 on my death bed looking back thinking i wish i had of.experienced more of what was on offer in life..
it is one hell of a rush.
skydivers , they dont care if you are rich or poor,a brain surgeon or garbo collector,young or old.. one of the few places i found that everyone was treated as an equal due to that one thing in common
RE: group ride/discount - Heidi1 - 18-03-2010
Yes, but will they boot your sorry arse out of the plane if you chicken out? At the last minute I'd probably need someone to grab me by the scruff and the seat of the pants and throw me bodily out. I reckon that sounds like the bad bit, the rest would be a rush!

Ok mia06,
....let's cane this puppy !!!!
Post up another thread with a place (will need to be a DZ with a big plane and a few extra TM's) & a date (a 3 day w/end for the long-distance travellers....ie: fri - ride to venue; sat - jump & loop ride day; satnite - debrief [read:piss-up & b/s] session; sun - ride home).
Get a list up of club members that are GENUINELY (ie: $$$ deposit down) interested in this activity, book 'em in......& then we can sit back & wait for an extremely exciting weekend to arrive!!!!

ok. who has the the nerve for real. The fastest hyper sport bike riders are not a pack of softies are we ????
potential dates and suitable times and numbers needed whilst i work on costs
i think this might have to be divided into several dz locations

RE: group ride/discount - steventh - 20-03-2010
Count me in as a strong tentative, I think but then Im not sure.......
RE: group ride/discount - bazman - 20-03-2010
mia06,
I'm DEFINATELY IN !!!! but don't put me in with the main group for a 1st-timer discount rate.....I'm like u mate, I already get a huge $$$ reduction on my jumps!
lol
RE: group ride/discount - mia06 - 23-03-2010
ok
Been in touch with tuddy (bill)(all round good guy) who instructs and does tandem jumps
he has jumped all over oz and i have asked him to recommend a few dz which cater for both tandem AFF (accelerated free fall course) and fun jumpers alike
So far i see interest from only nsw contingency. he is based in hunter valley area and wouldn't mind a ride down that way if it suits rest of group
again we need a few more hands up for this wheres all our vic and qld members ..hedi, pete, gcbus,bus666, diablo,legend,maj,blackzook,simmo,busgo,bikerboy,greeny,bigkev etc
surley hb1300 wont say no to the challenge
there drop ones in your area
this might help explain the feeling of skydiving as a student
