Thanks for dropping in B)

If you haven't already registered, you should do so - it exposes the inner workings of the whole forum setup for you. Click here.

Once you've done that, have a browse around. Maybe check out the "Cool stuff to do in Skysurfer" topic - it's got some tips to get the most out of your time here. My favorite thread at the moment is the "Show us your Dropzone" - locating your DZ using a Satellite map on Google Earth.

Asking questions is strongly encouraged. I've got heaps of dumb questions to ask, and I've started here already. If you sell Skydiving related products, place an ad in the "For sale" section, and don't forget to include your website - this site gets beaten up by Google.com like thirty times a day...

Welcome. And enjoy.

PS Below, I want to build a profile of the ten "must bookmark" places on the 'net. Give me a hand by replying here...

First Post! (ahem) carton of beer...

You need to "validate" your membership by clicking on the link in the registration email (or by getting a moderator to approve your membership). For some reason, 25% of people don't click.

Anyway, your membership is approved. Welcome. Glad your first post wasn't to sell me Viagra.

Hello America!

Nope, sorry, can't help you, though I'm sure someone will be able to.

But do you still jump in Michigan? Do you know Boothey and Liz (can't remember which DZ, but MI's not that big, right? wink.gif )?

The name doesn't ring a bell, but an email to the APF office might just bear fruit: apf@apf.asn.au
