eeek. well, you've proven something alright... you'll have to very careful to not whack the still off in the door or elsewhere. and there's a lot of snag potential, nasty snag potential. it looks tall enough that even bad line twists could cause a problem... but hey, if it works for you, then it works for you. i still don't understand why frontmounting the still didn't work... now you're taller than me, congrats. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

OOOH... I know why you did this... you can't take being shorter than me. post some pics of this monster already. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Congratulations!!!!! woohoo! can we get a "Him... Him..." peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

what lense did sony provide? this is what i use http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=116491&is=REG peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

? why would the rebel lense be in view on your TRV if you front mounted it? How far back is your TRV mounted? post pics, i'd like to see this... peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

hey now... all the good camera flyers would just get another credit card and put it on there. try to take advantage of those convinience checks they give you with 6 months no interest ($50 fee though) but still.... peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

are you sure you're not bumping the sight every time you take it off and put it on? lew http://www.exitshot.com

99% of the time it should be fine... but like in PD's ad... it's that less than 1% chance that you'll be low, bad spot, and have a reserve ride at the same time... in my case, it was with 25mph gusty winds on top of all of the above. My Raven Dash-M slipped and dropped below me around 200 ft.. it was ugly. a friend of mine stalled his and it dropped him on his back. he broke his back. both of us were out for 4 months. i bought a PD reserve. I still have the -m and don't know what to do with it. Maybe hang it up for display or use it for water training... if you can't afford to buy a better reserve, that's ok. you'll be ok, just hook it up as a main and put some jumps on it so you are familiar with it's stall point and all that. good luck peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Jason, What email address did you use? Did you try calling Ed? You can also call or email me if for some strange reason calling and emailing Ed isn't getting to him. I've just called Ed and directed him to the forums to reply to this. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

i agree, some kids shut down doing work rather than admit they don't understand. Especially in class, many kids will not ask the questions they need to. Are her teachers approachable? if not, the tutor is a good idea. It may take a while, but hopefully a good tutor will make her feel comfortable so she can get the answers she needs and not be embarrassed. you also may have to try out a few tutors until you find one she is comfortable with. and if you really think she gets it and it's just laziness, try the reward system. it's worthwhile. we often think kids should be internally motivated to work because it's a right of passage... But how many of us would do our jobs if we didn't get a paycheck? The reward system is used everywhere else, why not try it with kids in school. It doesn't have to be huge, but little things. Everything Nightingale suggested is good. Or you can let her get a job at McDonalds and wait for her to come crying back. What grade is she in now? Has she ever had a job? Summer work? peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

i've asked this before. What do you believe in? i didn't try to define any of the categories for anyone though. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

what headdown silhouette? lew http://www.exitshot.com

very nice! that gal had a nice backslide! Cajones and I did some of that snowboarding video last year.. it was fun. nice video. i'm jonesin to go snowboarding! I haven't been yet this year peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

i made my own... they're easier to read on the card itself, I reduced the quality for posting. I just used one of my favorite photos on the front, and the back is to my shutterfly pro account, with a space to write the folder for different venues... I was going to give some out at bridge day but we ended up not taking stills for sale.... I haven't used the cards very much... since I broke my leg and then my camera melted... it's been kinda hard to take skydiving photos... but i'll be back. watch out. peace lew ps, anyone have a spare 10D I could use ? http://www.exitshot.com

hey, don't use my name in vain. isn't it spelled different in this context? peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

I honestly haven't noticed the narrower field of view too much. I'm using a Sony .6 wide angle lense, which is very wide. I used a Sony .6 on my PC120 as well. The only time I really notice is when I dock and spin tandems and it's very tight. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

the only way to use that would be to take framegrabs after the fact. they are ok to the average ete, but not worth printing bigger than 4x6. to a photographers eye, the quality is not worth the effort. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

yeah, I'm jumping it. It's a nice camera. I had to drill new holes in my d-box. (My dbox is top mounted) The different style A/V plug is only slightly annoying when sharing the editting station. The LANC place is not only on the side, but way in the back on the right by the viewfinder (along with the A/V port). I haven't tried to put it on a sidemount yet since my Optik melted in the fire, but I would imagine if you had a flat surface sidemount helmet, it will be a pain to get the CamEye in there. The charger port is still on the front. The Camera switch is a bit different. Instead of twisting up or down to the 3 different modes (Camera, Memory, and Play), you push down once for camera, again to get to memory, again to get to play, and again back to camera... etc. I was worried about accidentally toggling to many times, but the cameye is only green if it's in Camera mode, and it blinks red in the other two modes. The nightshot switch is sideways, but not a big deal. Another difference from the 120 is that it's a touch screen. It's a sweet little camera, I'm happy with it. The picture quality is superb. It was a little annoying to drill more holes in my helmet and dbox, but I've got it all sorted out nicely now. I haven't tried removing the stap yet, but might. The hinge for the strap is huge and very annoying. It fits in my same dbox I had my 120 in, but it's a little bit harder to get it in there just right. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Hey Ron, If you know how to do problems and just make lots of mistakes, then just practice a lot and check your answers. If you don't know how to start the problems or do them at all, you will need help. You can either try to read the math textbook (which is hard for most), try to software tutorials (which work well for some and not so well for others) or get a tutor or take a class. I teach Algebra. College Algebra is the same as High School Algebra, except the context of the problems. The algorithms are all the same. If you have a couple problems you're not sure how to go about, PM or IM me and I'll help you. If you feel overwhelmed with a whole lot of material you don't understand, I'd suggest getting a tutor or taking a more introductory class to get your brain started again. I help my students via IM all the time. they think it's kewl.

oh yeah, and wireless highspeed internet :) http://www.exitshot.com

It's one bedroom. We have a queen bed in the bedroom and a futon in the living room. :) lew http://www.exitshot.com

oh yeah, and about southern cal... if you have money, it's a beautiful place to live. If you don't, it can be very rough. cost of living is very high. Standard of living is low. it's crowded. no, I mean, really crowded. it definately takes some getting used to. would you want to live in LA or San Diego or near a dropzone? that will make a big difference in what to expect. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Hey Tiffany, Ed and I will probably keep our apartment in South Pasadena cause we like it. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to get to Burbank during rush hour. Anyway, since I don't teach in the summer, we'll probably be at the dropzone all the time staying in our camper. We also have the avid machine you could probably use in the apartment... Mayve we can work something out... think about it, we can talk more if you want. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Cool! I sent 13" to Locks of Love last month. I held on to it for a while to take a photo holding my cut-off ponytail, but i lost the cameras in the fire so I just gave up and mailed the hair. no photos. That is a very cool thing you have done! peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Happy bday lori! http://www.exitshot.com
