FallnAngel 0 #1 December 9, 2001 Hey, everyone!Turns out that Santa is most definitely *not* a whuffo!! He bought me a cool new blue Pro-Track for Christmas, and even dropped it off 2 weeks early ...got a chance to try it out yesterday...wow! very cool toy!! So, now my question is, should I ask for the JumpTrack software for my birthday in a few months? Is anyone using it & are you glad you got it?Thanks!Blue skies, light winds,Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadDog 0 #2 December 9, 2001 I have it and I use it. I don't bother with the paper log anymore. Make sure you have all of the "necessary" jumps signed off on paper though.CorporateLawyerDave aka BadDog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #3 December 9, 2001 Using Jumptrack or constsantly viewing the LCD runs the batteries down in the Protrack.... And the batteries are'nt cheap I found out, like $10 for a pair. Just something to consider.....I want to touch the sky, I want to fly so high ~ Sonique Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mountainman 0 #6 December 10, 2001 Laura and I got our ProTracks a couple weeks ago and they are blue also. Very slick. We didn't even ask us for the special color.Anyway, I dont have/use Jump Track, but would appreciate more info about who finds it useful and why.Thanks!-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no.

GrumpySmurf 0 #7 December 10, 2001 Speaking of Pro-Tracks - SDC has there on sale at Active Wear for like $259, I think it was. There's a link on the skydivechicago.com webpage for Active Wear, so you might want to contact them to confirm (I could be off by +- $10). Just a thought - if you are looking for a early Christmas gift for yourself...figured I'd mention it since I don't think I have ever seen them on sale below the industry norm $289.(And nope, I don't work for SDC or Active Wear, nor get kickbacks from them) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #8 December 10, 2001 Brandon,I use JumpTrack. I wouldn't say it is necessary in any way, but if you are a tech-geek, then go for it.You can get graphs that give you information:http://www.jennandjustin.com/skydive-jumplog-graphjump.asp?jumpindex=63If you record what you are doing, you can see how different things effect your speed. Honestly, none of it is useful, but it is fun.JustinMy Homepage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had no idea they came in colors until I opened my xmas gift. I don't think it's just a special thing for a short while either...and I'm pretty sure they have some other colors too, like purple.
