want some local knowledge of some cool jumps if any one is willing have been overseas in italy the past year and am heading home via melbourne

cheers

mavs

I'm also going to be there from the 1st oct to the 5th on the way to KL. i know theres not too much around there but if there are any locals, it would be good to get intouch. was going to post something closer to the time but thought i would jump on this thread.
Cheers.

as mentioned in a different thread:


these seem to be the first post for both of you.
(of course, I could be wrong and you folks are already well known in Australia.)

sorry 1st post and not well known in oz Havnt been home in 5 years

well im mavs I live in italy at a dropzone flying camera for tandems and packing and then when im free jumping monte brento and an antenae down the road at every chance

my home town is perth australia but am spending 2-3 weeks in melbourne before hand to see family and want to do a few jumps while im there without pissing off any locals


thats it really

I'm from NZ.
Some people know me but no jumpers in melbourne.
Just because it was my first post, doesn't mean i was just born. I don't think you can tell if someone is a safe jumper or not on an internet forum.
Likewise, i am going to be in Melbourne and was wanting to do a jump or 2 without pissing anyone off and if any jumpers are in melbourne before heading to KL then maybe catch up for a beer before hand.

I agree entirely.

Please understand, I frequently ask the same question to others. It sometimes generates responses that indicate the jumper is NOT ready. Other times the reply makes it clear the poster is clued in.

Either angle can seriously affect how people a first poster is welcomed.

you might get more of a response from the new ABA website
