I need someone to transfer a MiniDV master to DVD and make about 10 copies. Any takers?? It is about 25 minutes of footage.

Just let me know!

Sure! If you want to plan on it for one of the days. I am game!

Well, it's not really close to Ohio, but you can go to the Ranch! Cause............ I may be going!

Well, I have seen and heard skydivers with 100 jumps do what you are discribing, so I don't think what you do or how many jumps you have really matters when it comes to acting like a skygod or bragging. I guess people have as much of a right to do that as you do to complain about it. It is just human nature and the best we can do is try not to do it ourselves. Never stop learning or feel insulted if someone tries to give you advice. If it is nothing you can use, just take what you can from it and say thanks. Teach by example.

This is an absolutely bizarre thread! It has nothing to do with someone being a moderator. As if the title of moderator somehow translates into privleges beyond this site!??? This thread is nothing more than a personal attack on someone and should have been handled face to face, assuming there really was a problem. Besides that, it is alot worse than a thread of mine that got locked when it went personal.

"Flying with Da Fish" Just your average, everyday, run of the mill, no frills, amateur editted freefly dvd.

I am also curious if anyone knows what length risers the Velocity steering lines are MEANT to be on. When my Velocity came from PD the steering lines are sewn at the ends, making a permanent length. There isn't just a dot showing where they are "supposed" to be set. I would guess there is a "general" riser length to which it is intended to be set for. I would also asume that when flying a high performance canopy, I would prefer to have more length in my brake lines so that it doesn't interfere when pulling risers rather than making it easier to achieve the stall point? Any thoughts?

Well, cool! Sounds like people aren't running into any real problems. That is good news. Thanks for the input!

Double my porn intake!

That's what I'm talkin' about! Seriously, thanks for the input! I always thought it looked like the Pro swoopers had longer risers than mine and was kinda curious about that.

This is on a Velocity 103 loaded at about 2.0 If you are just flying your canopy with toggles and not doing high performance landings, then longer risers won't make any difference really. But when doing 270 degree front riser finals, I find the feel to be quite different than my old risers. Now I'm not talking about such a huge difference that it changes things dramatically, but I am talking about what the feel is when using the front risers. I don't get near as deep into the riser with these and it feels like there is more riser pressure. I assume it is because my arm isn't bending as much with the longer ones. It may not sound like much, but alot happens in those last seconds from when you start your approach to when you land and when you are so used to the way everything feels, even a small change can feel huge. I feel like I am babbling, but I just wanted to try to explain it. In short, the risers feel much more responsive now. I am sure that in 20 jumps I won't even remember what the old ones felt like.

No problem. Just starting to get quite worn and was time to have them replaced. I wasn't aware that the old ones were shorter until I got the new ones.

I changed them to what they call 21 and 1/2. They seem to be about 2 inches longer than my old ones.

I knew it would make some difference when I changed my old risers out and put new ones on that were 2 inches longer, but wow! It was a totally different feel! I guess in reality, it doesn't effect it, but it certainly felt different. I assume it is just because of being so used to where my arm and hand move to when I am in the risers, but it was kinda like flying a different canopy all together. Just sharing.

I was curious if it was starting to be a problem carrying on a rig now that the threat level has been raised. Anyone heard or travelled with a rig these last few days?? I am flying United at the end of January and was considering FedExing my rig instead of carry on. I would rather carry it on if people aren't having issues.

Now who's the whiner?? It got up to 52 here today and I have been running around with no coat on and driving with the window down! 57 is Tshirt and shorts weather!

I have seen the vid and take it from me- It is well worth checking out! Very nice work, Ian!

Yup- nothing quite like taking a dump two feet away from someone, seperated only by an inch thick divider!

And that is just what we are trying to avoid here! I am assuming YOU didn't cause the smell?

Is it THAT obvious?!

Have you ever had to do your #2 business at work and done something creative to mask the pleasant aroma that you left? Like spraying a cleaning product and pretending to clean the bathroom? Me neither! Just wondering if anyone else "hasn't" done something like that or knew someone who did.
