There are thousands of people wanting to hear what you have to say so please come back to the forums and tells us how you are really feeling about this find.

Amen! Sounds like a dream camera. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

When i spoke to them last week about a customers order i was told that they are just over schedule. You should allow an extra week or two. However knowing wings they will get it back on schedule and it will not affect you. Just allow 15 weeks to be on the safe side. They were expecting a big order a few weeks ago that could take their wait time to 17 weeks but i do not think that has happened yet. What it comes down to though is if wings quote 12 weeks it would usually be ready in 10-11 weeks. If i was you i would not 'plan' on having the rig for 15 weeks from date of order if ordered in the last month. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I think you will find going by what he sells is that he is trying to find out what cameras he should be purchasing from his supplier at very good prices to then sell to the community at better prices that one would find usually. I don't think he is redesigning the camera. If he is then he is alot more connected than i thought from the communication we have shared. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I actually thought you were TOM with a new username lol .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

It is very benefical that people answer this thread in great detail. Sky-pimp has an amazing contact and over the past years has bought many many excellent condition sony cameras into the skydiving scene at the most affordable prices. I hope people contribuute to this thread instead of just telling him to do a search. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Anther way for you to look at this movie he is releasing is...... we are skydivers right... Alot of us will watch his video.... but that does not mean any of us will go and buy a dirt bike! Most of the people who get his dvd will be motocross fans or kids that live at home with their parents. They have bought it to see the motocross stunts etc. Just because he has thrown in a skydive with no parachute or a base jump off a bike over the grand canyon does not mean they will take up skydiving. they are getting the dvd for the motocross. they will look at the extreme skydiving stunts like something they can not do and only travis can do. They will not then go and take up skydiving when what they really want is to either buy a dirt bike or spend more money on learnign to skydive when all they really want is to save their money for new motocross gear or a new bike. People that could affor to go and take up skydiving who are watching this movie i am sure would already be in a sport such as motcross and would rather keep investing their money into that sport they are in, just like us skydivers do. I would like to hear what your idea is and why you think a couple of skydiving stunts on a motocross champions dvd will bring people into the world of skydiving. either way, good luck mate. However if you can not listen to people expressing their opinions in this SKYDIVING forum about your idea without insulting them then i cant imagine how you listen to what your customers want. I would be more than happy to donate you some of my time and write up some marketing plans in full detail that i know are well practised for dropzones and are proven to work and proven to make dropzone owners very happy. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I was marketing director of a company that had 4 dropzones. I would be interested in seeing how many people you get signing up for tandems or AFF from the results of this guys video. In my opinion i doubt even one. Maybe over the next few years you might get a couple drigt in who have watched it. I am not trying to put your idea down, just my opinion and i hope you respect that and i really hope you end up proving me wrong. Keep us posted. I am very interested in seeing if it brings people to the sport. It is one of those things you want that bring people into the sport, I just dont believe it will. If you think about it, we have one of the best BMX riders in the world (Matt Hoffman) who has a series of Playstation games, we have one of the best skateboarders in the world (Bob Burnquist), they both have more of a following than Travis, especially with the sport they are in and their playstation game, yet i do not hear about them bringing people into the sport. You want to get people doing tandems? Goto the major hotels in the closest cicty, invite the bell boys/concergies(sp) out for an 'industry party', give them all a free tandem skydive, put some food and drinks on, then tell them how you will give them all 10-15% booking fee for every person they send out to you. This does work. I know this because New Zealand has the biggest tandem skydive center in the world- over 100 tandems every single day the weather is good. Tourist bus operators pull in there all day long every day with busses full of tourists so the drivers can collect 10-15% per head. This is how it is done. Expecting a video of some young guy who might sell a couple of hundred thousand dvds worldwide to bring your dropzone (one of hundreds around the world) enough business to be noticable.... in my opinion, not likely. If i end up wrong then i congratulate you, It sounds like you want to get your business bringing in more jumpers and it sounds like you have the motivation to do it. Why dont give my idea a go? It is a proven idea that works every day. A country of only 4 million people and 600 miles long and 100 miles wide produce around 600 tandems a day if not more every day the weather is fine. Around 5 dropzones in this country who actively market like this do well over 100 tandems a day EACH. I am sure you have heard of Taupo in new zealand. Most cameramen and tandem masters at these dropzones do an AVERAGE of 10 jumps a day. Dropzones actually GUARANTEE their workers 1000 work jumps a year. They can afford to do this because of the results of this marketing. You give the right people a free tandem and put a good day on for them they WILL send you many tandem customers. We had contracts in place where the tandem master would do 1 or 2 freenon-paid tandems a month. They did this happily because they knew that the dropzone was giving these tandems out free to hotel owners and tourist centers so they could promote the dropzone and in turn the tandem master would get more money/work from it. Phone up a major radio station and give the talk show dj AFF for free. In return tell him when ever he talks about the weather to mention skydiving, and for him to do a talk every monday after he has completed a new level to tell people what it is really like and what he is going through while learning. This will bring in many listeners. You have a radio host who is popular talking about skydiving all the time (as all new jumpers do) this is the best advertising you can get! I have edited this many times to add additional things that are working for dropzones i know. I dont just mean working, I mean killing it! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

This game kind of sucks. it is all over too soon. I also think COD4 was over far too fast. alot of games for PS3 are very small in the realm of things. I dont really give a shit though, GRAN TURISMO 5 will be out soon and that is the only reason i have a PS3. Prologue comes out tomorrow here in Australia and when you buy a game over here you have 7 days to take it back and swap for a new game. I just finished R6V2 in 4 days and now will take it back and get a free copy of GT5 prologue. I enjoy the coop story mode on the game but the online aspect seems to shyte. People come and go all too fast.♠ .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Average Joe has to believe someone. 15 years ago it was all so much easier to make a purchase. Now so many options, so much bullshit. I fucking hate to think what it will be like in another 15-20 years. When i walk into an electrics store it is only after spending 10's of hours researching the product. There is no way i will listen to anything a salesman has to say to me. The other day, i had a guy telling me that it does not matter what factory the LCD panels are made in as they are all the same quality. I was talking to him about a $1500 tv. When he said that i told him i will not bother buying it and walked over to the next guy and told him straight away i wanted to buy a tv with the price tag of $4000, the guy did not even need to try and sell it to me, i was buying it. I hope the other guy realises he lost his massive commission because of his bullshit. (i got the tv alot cheaper than the marked price with a 30 day after sale price match and because of that i just got another $500 off what i paid for it yesterday.

I have spent a week playing with all this stuff and now am living with horrible headaches trying to make this perfect. Ok, so when you have a multiple display as an extended desktop.... is there and easier way to switch the main desktop between the monitors that have two different resolutions without having to go into display properties all the time and tick the boxes etc? So if my small monitor has my main desktop on it and my bigscreen in the other room is the extension desktop...... how do i then easily make the bigscreen the main desktop and the small screen the extension without changing resolutions etc and without having to go into display properties? Surely there is an easy button to push for this or soemthing. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

What do you mean by 8 year standard? I just hooked my pc up into the living room, well running a lead into here anyway with wireless keyboard/mouse.... To be honest, i kind of feel like using this screen as my 'part time PC' , well it kind of feels like i am taking the piss and should be thinking of starving children in africa or something... Is that wrong? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

This is a funny thread Jay, Usually people would be bitching and moaning about a beauty pagent. Especially you! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I remember reading something about HD-dvd (toshiba?) saying that they have been defeated and that Blu-ray has won the battle of HD. Is this correct and what does this mean? Does it mean that we will start seeing all the new releases coming out in Blu ray soon? Also, is the PS3 Blu ray up amongst the best of the bluray players? Do the stand alone Blu ray players have a 'better' quality than the PS3 players? I have come to a point after buying a Sony Bravia that my entire set up is now Sony. PS3, Sony-DAV 1200 watt, Sony ipod dock, and PS3. My next investment will be a proper Sony amp. What I am wondering is should i be looking out for a 'better' blu ray player? The reason i ask all of this is because once i decided to buy this 46 inch bravia over the much cheaper Soniq lcd i have decided that i want to start making a home entertainment set up that i can really be 'proud' of. Something else i am wondering is my bravia has only 3 hdmi ports and 1 optical port. My sound system only has one hdmi (out) port and one optical as well as the same for the PS3. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to have it all connected? At the moment i connect the PS3 optical to the Sony DAV system and the HDMI to the bravia. Should i be connecting the optical from the PS3 to the bravia? Also, will they soon make a 'HDMI board' where you could externally add more hdmi inputs/outputs to a system like they do with those scart boards? Sorry for all the questions but i have alot to ask about all of this because at the moment it is just myself trying to figure all this out and i am wondering if i am missing something to get the full power out of everything. My computer extended desktop is also hooked up to my Bravia via hdmi but i can only hook the sound from my computer up via a shitty 3.5mm lead. Any suggestions on making that better would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks to anyone who puts their suggestions forward. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
