wiring specifically no, but there are numerous accounts of abnormal activity, in the buildings themselves and in their management during that time. How often do you go crawling in your attic then? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

2 years in the sport and 1000 jumps to be a tandem instructor in New Zealand. I did the course in 2002, I was jumping for a living within a year of my first jump and had a tandem rating a year and a half after that with 2200 jumps. It is intersting to see people mocking the diploma corse when they have no clue of what it is about and seem to think it is impossible to make a good living as a professional skydiver. I earned Over $1000 this week doing bugger all work and having 3 days off!, I earn over AUS$60k a year and my fiancee earns similar money doing a similar role (camera and rigging) The diploma course is a really good start to a commercial skydiving career and anyone that really wants to be a commercial skydiver will not find a faster way to do so. the diploma itself is worth nothing but the skills and attitude learned is worth everything. To the original poster, I'll see you there in April when Leigh and I come to visit. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

We need a 'good' thread about this subject. Bith of these cameras are useless for freeflying, I am interested to see if anyone has hade the same sort of Image stabaliser problems on there HD solid state cameras, In particular I am interested in the Panasonic SD9 Sony CX7's and 12's are a waste of money if freeflying is what you are after. even handy cam gets wavy images with these cameras.

Hi, If you like to travel and don't mind differnt cultures then tandem skydiving is a wonderful full time profession. I make about 1000 work jumps per year and still find time to train and compete in the world championships. as well as some boogies. Without tandem skydiving I would most likely not have been to Africa, USA, france, russia, Norway, sweden....... You are constantly reminded of how great you job is. The long and the short of it is, if you love skydiving you will keep your enthusiasm, if you skydive because it is cool, them you will be a grumpy ass TM is no time at all. I make about AUS$60k+ a year, running handicam and outside video. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

how much height do you lose in your opening sequence? My JVX gives me wonderful openings and I lose no more than 600'. From what I have observed the Xaos 21's lose alot of height which makes the openings soft? Xaos' were almost banned from one of our dropzones due to frequent malfunctions (on a few differnt sizes). It is a beach dropzone and a cutaway can be a timely or expensive mistake. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I am far from a skygod, If you knew me you would know that, Skygods don't participate in as many different jumps as possible and try new disciplines while being receptive to new ides. I just hate being ridiculed by individuals that obviously have nothing better to do than sit in the speakers corner all day and provoke people that have ideas different to thier own. I will do a B- Rel jumps with an A licence jumper for free (just pay my slot) I will do any type of jump if it seems like fun. I love to jump and I have fun with anyone doing it regardless of thier skill level... You average 11 posts a day on a skydiving website but have only done 50 jumps in 13 years. I don't think I am a skygod, i just think you need to focus your energy in a differnt direction. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

A jvx is what you want, Xaos snivel too long and have abrupt inflations. A jvx will open soft and on heading without losing 1000 ft. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Kosovo is eastern europe, If you are not there then change your profile. And I suggest you make more than 3 jumps a year if you want to call yourself a skydiver. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Apathy is the main reason fuckwits like GW get away with shit like that, Your way of thinking is why so many people are dead. Think about it! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

You are the smart ass with the brainless one liners bro, I couldn't care less where you are, eastern europe? whpo gives a shit, if you want to jump travel for it I have been to 4 continets in the last 2 years to jump, and I will go to another 3 continents in the next 6 months. to jump. Whats you excuse? in prison? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

The beach DZ here has been using these type of cams for about 6 months now, a few have CX7's or 12's but there are more (5) panasonic SD9's and a SD5. Each camera would have done at least 300 jumps to date some 400+. Each jumper would do about 100 jumps a month with good camera stike rate(handycam and outside camera). It is safe to say at least 1000 jumps have been made with SD9's in pal & NTSC format, doesn't seem to matter with the computer editing but you would be the expert around here in that subject. Only 2 known occasions the panasonics have shut off in freefall oce a SD9 and once a SD5. Head up flying is something that hasn't been played with much yet here with the SD9's, but the Sonys have been terrible with head up flying as we all know. The DZ that I usually work at is implementing these type of cameras in january, I am yet to decide which camera to buy but the SD9 is the most suitable I have seen so far for around AUS$1000. any other suggestions?

What generalisation do you speak of? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

So if I have complications with the teeth that I had fixed for free in 1989, after a BMX accident I don't have them fixed for free again? Actually I do, I get them fixed for no charge, they have all the relevant informnation, they pay for the dental surgery if needed and the also pay 80% of my usual income while I am off work. Selfish cunts! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

You need to be a little more proactive with your jumping if you want do that, i will do as many jumps as you have in total in a fortnight sometimes. If you spent more time jumping and thinking for yourself and less time on the internet, then maybe one day you may be lucky enough to have an existance such as mine. You would have to brush off those fucking guns though, no room for those in a peacfull existance. eye for an eye? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Me too, and if I have a life threatening accident or amnesia etc., I would like the applicable people to deal with me in the most timely manner possible. If I have diabeties or an allergy, I want them to know about it, I want them to know my last name, who my parents are, if I have a spouse....... Why wouldn't you want them to know this information? I don't have anything to hide, do you? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

At my current DZ everybody is going to Flash/memeorystick cameras. The CX&'s and 12's have not been that popular due to the shaky image that sometimes occurs. Most have gone for the panasonic SD9 and have had good results with them. Jumping on a sandy beach, in a humid environment and skydiving with them would have to be a pretty good test for them, The only problem I have been aware of is,on two occasions, on two different SD9's the camera stopped recording soon after exit. May have been bumped or ???? but that is among hundreds of jumps with them. I am still looking at which brand and moel to get as I have to have one by January 1st. The Panasonic SD( is high on the wishlist at this point in time. Bring on the boxing day sale "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

depends on which govornment. What do you have to hide, should be the question here. Nobody knows everything about anyone so if you give only vitalstatistics then what should it matter. Americans are so paranoid sometimes but when somone questions the authority they become a paranoid conspiracy theorist.... I don't get it. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

And stupid ass conspiracy theorists such as myself, were ridiculed by patriotic americans when in late 2002/2003 were calling bullshit on WMD, calling murderer to GWB and look what happens 6 years later..... So many of you in here were so behind the war that you couldn't make sense out of relity. That murdering fuckwit GWB and his sidekicks should all be taken to the haugue for war crimes and punished severely. Apathy from brainwashed americans is the main reason people like that do things such as they have. Pull your head in people.

You shouldn't need to hide anything from your doctor, If you do and it is relevant to your health and wellbeing then you would be an idiot, "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

it depends if you have greedy fuckwits running the show or not though doesn't it? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix
