    I've got the GoPro3 Black Just need a CX or similar replacement.

    My CX 150 finally died Best Buy is willing to replace it with a another CX or another similar model. I understand the 150 is the last of the great ones, but is there anything that come can come reasonably close? Thanks.

    New to the CX world (been using PC's up to now): 1. Did 3 jumps on it and the vids were extremly shaky (flutter or shake effect) 2. It keeps reverting back to auto focus instead of staying on manual. Thanks

    I jumped at Lodi (Parachute Center) from 2004-2008. I would recommend it for winter jumping. The weather, during the season, is a little unpredictable (can get a little chilly and rainy now and then) but it should fit your needs.

    Do you have to be part of a team to particiapte?

    1. Reserve Repacks: First DZ, I've heard of, where the main has to be removed (disconnected) prior to turn-in. 2. Packers and staff treated my girlfriend as an outsider (senical and disrespectful). 3. Once an individual comes off Student status (i.e. DZ money maker)they should be treated with the same respect/courtesy as a TANDEM & or AFF student. Contrary to popular belief, Fun Jumpers are paying customers to. 4. Next time I come to San Antonio I think I'll try out the Austin area. 5. Last, but not least: Parachute Center (Lodi, CA) still rules; $12 Jump Tickets, $5 Hop "N" Pops. A Beech, a King Air, an Otter, and a Cesna

    Sorta on the same subject: I took the Army Jumpmaster (Static Line) Course. 30% of the class didn't make it to graduation day. When it comes to safety and attention to detail, the US Military doesn't mess around.

    C License, 150 jumps, Airborne School or willing to attend if selected for the team, and a good military record. Key to successfuling completing tryouts is no matter where you come from or your experience level, is to leave it at the door. More than skydiving skills, your evaluated on your professionalism as a soldier, ability to thrive (not just survive) in a team environment, your ability to interact with the public - both in person and on camera. Mentally and physically the tryout cadre mess with you - a LOT. There is a reason for everything they do. Learning how to endure long days of physical activity on 4 or 5 hours sleep is pretty much the norm. 10% Jumping; 90% soldiering The Golden Knights look for, annually, personnel to fill their DEMONSTRATION TEAMS (BLACK/GOLD), not Competitors, Swoopers, Tandem Instructors, or Freeflyers.

    Just purchased a 46. Any opinions out there?: Quality, take it back, etc... I see it doesn't come with LANC port for a CamEye; can that be fixed with an adapter of some sort? Thanks

    oh yea! I think you had just landed in a field of grape vines Plan to be out at Lodi this Friday, and possibly Sunday. Hope to see you there. Hopefully I can get Kim out that way, and she could pack for the both of us.

    Sgt. 1st Class Pedro Munoz SFC Munoz, 47, died Jan. 2 from wounds suffered during offensive combat operations in Afghanistan’s Herat province. He was an intelligence sergeant assigned to 1st Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group. Munoz was everything a Special Forces soldier is supposed to be. At 47, he could outrun men half his age. He was an accomplished combat sky diver with 4,000 high-altitude parachute jumps under his belt. He was also a former member of the US Army Golden Knights.

    I wonder how skydivers (freeflyers/RW's) do in the High Altitude Low Opening Course?

    You want more bang for your buck; try the Aerodyne Icon. An excellent first rig. It's my second and I'm very pleased.
  23. taz9420
    A Rigger/Packer I used to know; that is the way he did it. It was due to the fact that he couldn't bend over because of a steel rod in his back

    I finally started packing for myself when I realized how much money I was actually spending on it alone. 10 jumps in one day, multiplied by 10 pack jobs, adds up quick.

    Like clockwork, my ears clear while I'm walking off the DZ. When they do, I loose my balance (equilibrium-like I'm drunk) for a second or two. I've just learned just to live with it.
