    Let's see here 5 and a half years ago I left Venezuela after selling everything I had to come to the US and work my behind off, now after this much time I have as much as I had before I left worked twice as hard but I would not change it, it been a great adventure, now I teach architectural drawings to adults and kids, coach soccer and invest in property here in FL, I can say is worth it, but by not means easy. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    You don't have to on video to get a copy, whenever I'm done editing my part of the footage, I'll check with the boogie organizers must likely Allie, get their approval (pink mafia that is) corrections etc.and I'll e-mail everyone involve. Unless somebody has a better idea, I know Jim is working on a preview on skydive Sebastian web, so check it out. Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

I saw the show while I was fire wiring it to my camera to do the PV video, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED with the show and I regret missing it, I'm also glad there was somebody there to do video, Hope you're Ok if I include the footage of the show in the PV video. Also.... Thanks to everyone that donated footage for the video please E-mail me with your names and special requests so you received a copy and proper acknowledgement. I'll be using the dropzone.com e-mail Beto74@dropzone.com I would like to hear requests for song you think will be good for this video, I don't want to impose my personal taste want to do something everyone enjoys.

    I have gotten lots of IM supporting the idea of making a what I think will be now the official video of the Pyro vixen boogie I started working on a concept a couple weeks ago, but I really think this can only work with the donation of your footage (I have enough people saying that they will donate what ever they got), everything is ready external hard drive and a couple cameras to do the firewiring work is in place. Thanks to scaryperry and Alli for their special support, looking forward to see you all there. Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Thats what I did, tilting the camera is not a good idea or better yet It did not work for me, now I use two helmets one for RW and tandems with a ring sight and one open face helnmet for F.F. Every once in a while I take the FF helmet on belly jumps resulting on the person in the upper part of the video if not cut off for part of the skydive that does not happens with the helmet I use for belly. The helmet is a Blade helmet I don't think they make them anymore is a full face with side mount integrated and flat top with plenty space for stills and flash. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  13. BETO74
    I did the exact same thing when I started and did not work for me, you can move the camera up/down easily but one degree of movement either way is huge when shooting video, you more often than what you think will NOT get the peolple in frame or cut them off. Better to adjust your camera in one spot and fly your body to get the shoot you're looking for, that's what makes camera flying hard in the first place. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Cool.... let's talk about some ideas and put it together. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  15. BETO74
    If there is people shooting video and they would like to donate their video footage to make an un-official video I'll volunteer to do the editing unless of course somebody else wants to Just for the record i'm not planning on selling it. I can have a drop off footage tent (trailer) I have an external hard drive and couple cameras I can use that to do the transfer. If this sounds good let me know!!! http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Yeah forget going from Caracas to Maiquetia what used to be a 30min ride became 5 hrs. It will be safest to drive thru Bagdad than ride thru that little road http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Sorry guys I need some description of what is been talk about here, you either secure your cheststrap or not, how can you misroute the cheststrap but just giving the webbing a twist and passing it thru the locking housing this will only make it harder to release, I'm sure I'm getting the wrong picture here!!!! anyone? I have jump with loose cheststrap which is dangerous during the frefall but is not nothing that pulling the cheststrap won't fix since is passing thru the housing or locking system. Anyone with a pic? http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    I thought the HMA lines don't strech or shrink thats why the trim last longer, much different tahn vectran you can also see the wear on a vectran line the HMA line just snaps. Maybe somebody could elaborate more. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  22. BETO74
    Agree!!! I believe that only those that have master canopy piloting to that extreme benefit from thinner lines (HMA). does the regular weekend warrior notice that difference in speed, I believe not. Yes they require to be more careful while stowing the lines, learn that one the hard way! http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    I haven't jump there yet, I did before it was Skydive Venezuela. Drop Giancarlo an e-mail he is probably a little busy in the HD record. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    I used to fly a Nitron 135 with HMA lines, yes is less drag, do you notice it? no really. Because they are so much thinner than the other lines the risks of tension knots increases, I had two tension knots one I landed rear riser no problems the other was a cut away. In my opinion unless you're in the high end of canopy piloting you will not feel the difference in drag or get much out it. Another thing I don't really understand is the tendency of some canopy manufactures to have HMA lines on student canopies maybe somebody can explain that to me, on a high performance regardless of my opinion I can understand since the people buying this canopies have more experience and they understand the risk involve but why students? http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
