  1. Thanks a lot very usefull. here is the info.[[url] http://www.bladecamerahelmets.co.nz/ http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  2. I don't trust my cypress to let it do my job, but I trust it enought to pay 11 hundred just in case.
  3. Thanks Quade I been very interested on the subject, I have one question and it's maybe a litle stupid one. I fly an N-Vertig helmet with a PC 101 I do not have a ring sight but I line up the camera making an horizontal line on the wall right where the lens is wich is a couple inches higher than my eyes, I have litle under a hundred jumps on this set up and works for me, my camera records what my dominand eyes is watching pretty good quality. Not so long ago I got this helmet (pictures attach) to start with stills and video, the camera sits a litle higher than my old set up, now there is a place (hole) already come with the helmet to fit the ring sight, now the question: Do you have to see the subject you're recording thru the ring site, or you off set a litle because of the parallax to keep subject in the midle frame, what's the distance that you have set up your ring sight and camera, assuming that the farther less you have to compense this distance the closest more you have to. That one of the reason why I got the helmet with a side mount, first because I'm used to, seconly because I think is litle less like to get a line, center of gravity and my neck. hope you can see the picture I'm trying to make. Thanks, in advance. Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    how do you.....

    Imagine you're in a two way, you're sit flying your partner is head down on top of you, trying to make a double monkey you lose position and now you're on your back, and slow down from 165mph to 150 mph your partner still going at 165 mph head down, towards you. Now multiply 165mph times your partner weight that how much impact you're gonna take. Don't cork, if so, keep youreself small to keep speed, have a cypress.
  6. What do you think about the Rebel, anyone using it? Which camera do you think is the best for Tandems? Thanks. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  7. When did this happened? it has to be a while back, unless you jump with the people that meets in Pahokee every Sunday. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  8. Pretty light and $350.00 included shipping from Europe. Hope this help.
  9. The Helmet is at least 25% less than the others helmets I was looking to buy, excellent custumer service. They don't have mass production so each one is pretty much custum made and it takes a litle bit of time. The most important thing to me was the side mount, (don't like having the video on top) and the pretty big top mount for stills you can see no lines can get snag. I'll be using it for Tandem videos I'm still trainning and they come out Ok. I been using an N-Vertigo with a bone head camera mount and chin cup to do both free fly and tandems, this helmet I will set up only for tandems. here is the info: [http://www.bladecamerahelmets.co.nz/Ultimate.htm] http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  10. This is my new helmet, I think is great just had to wait a litle for it but the guy did a good job. There is also a picture of a friend who's lips don't fit the helmet (NSFW)
  11. I Totally agree with you. I can’t tell you how flying the camera has improve my freefly and RW skills just for the simple fact of been able to see what I’m doing, I stared flying the camera with 150 jumps and I can tell you it gave me a sense of direction in my skydiving career (the way I would like to call it). I’m a pretty cautious person and flyer and I couldn’t help sometimes to have an accident or two because I did not know how to fly the wings or getting to close to the formation/skydiver etc. But the experience is necessary to learn. The best advice I was given and the only one I give to other people is: be as Safe you could be. I'm Definitely a cameraman wannabe!!! and proud of it http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

  18. Main 1,100 ft Really worry about my Cypress, one of my first jumps with my camera got into a cloud with other freefliers and lost track, yes I did hear my dytter and pro-track, just though I had time, anyway now that I remember I was still trying my X-fire they have fearly slow opening. Won't happen again, and if it does I will pull the reserve. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  19. Sorry I could'nt find it let me check if I can get you Chuck sphone number in hawaii, that's the guy. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  20. I must tell you is the best free fly suits, I'm not at home but I can give you the web site and chucks phone number, I can also tell you that I got a freefly suit with the conversion to a camera suit, you can attach the wings to it simmilar to what birdman uses to cut them away, anyway , trying the wings on a 4 way rw that I was planning to video tape I got out the plane holding the door because there was no camera step and my hand strap got cough on the door hinch. So here I 'am hagging off the plane for 7 sec when I remember I can easily cut away the wing, cut it and landed safe with an amazing video, I been to busy to post this in any othe forum but I can tell you Da' Kine are the best, The best part , was the wing landed with the plane so I still have my suit, I'll be sending you Chucks address and website when I get home.

    Xenophobia

    I couldn’t agree with you more (). But where is the difference between been Xenophobic and Racism?. With a family part French part Spanish and Hispanic I couldn’t be Xenophobic much less Racist. The first thing that strikes me here in North America was the racial pressure this society has, where in high schools they teach racial Tolerance instead of acceptance. Accept the person for who he/she is, give that person a job for his/hers qualifications instead of racial origin, to me that’s the biggest issue. Of course we are going to find people with different opinions than us, “the human been is what the culture makes him be” (Clifford Gertz) I think http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  22. Thanks a lot guys and girls. Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  23. What do you tell friends that just find out she has breast cancer? I’m a little upset about this whole situation. She just find out she has breast cancer after she fight a cervical cancer last year and came out alright, her daughter also told me she had two small heart attacks after she find out and she is at the hospital. I would like to hear something from the people that’s it’s been thru this. I took her to make her first Tandem jump two years ago and she always wanted to skydive again. Anyway sorry to be a downer I’ll appreciate your input. E-mail me or send me and I.M . Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  24. Ah you mean (RAWA) Agree the best helmet for
  25. [- Someone with 120 jumps would like to receive her D but is unable to meet the requirements before September due to injuries, so would the USPA please pretty please just give it to her anyway quote] What the f.... I have over 300 jumps and I just apply for my "A" . I did not care until know, first problem was try to fill the new USPA card, wich the instructor could not figure it out either, am I the only one with this problem? I am the only one thinking that the new forms are garbage? I been getting away without the license cuz I know some people and I know some people that know some person and just because of that they have the "D", that really makes me lose my faith on the USPA. I totally agreed with a number of jumps minimun to get licenses, now enforce it. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
