  1. Why you weren't using the standard RAWA side mount box (other than the apparent indestructable nature of that Shummaker box) ? It's one of the things I really like about the RAWA. Honestly the new Helmet I just ordered will have the RAWA side box, mounted with a quick release, so I can put a Digital SLR on top and the PC camera on the side, or, take the box off and slide to PC back on top. Top mount makes it a little cleaner image, less vibration and less chances of riser strikes on deployment. The side box does not feel like you have a vertical stab when you transition... the only thing I really can think of. At the time I built this one (rip) I did not expect to put the SLR on, and leaving the camera exposed seemed like a rather dumb idea.. The 2K helmets+boxes have to be the cleanest looking I have seen but, for my head, Rawa is simply the best fit.
  2. it's ok, the less I speak with insurance companies the better I feel. I really have to say that the camera is ok thx to Terry Schummaker's (sp?) box (this is no advertising—more like a thank you).
  3. Why don't you donate it to the Bent Prop and put it on Matt Hoffmans trashed bike. That is a great idea, thank you will do that! I always thought you were a creative young man Nathan, against what everybody else used to say.
  4. Polly, you need a little picture by your name... need help? I have a few that come to mind... Back off! No hunting in my backyard, young man. Trust me... you never know who is the Chasseur and who is the Lapin(e)
  5. It's in the mail... already? Cool I do feel kind of funny throwing this in the garbage. Maybe I should sell it on ebay!
  6. hey man, it's duct tape... (just thought i'd keep the pattern of this thread intact.
  7. Polly, you need a little picture by your name... need help? I have a few that come to mind...
  8. Polly! Seems like employees do that kind of stuff.. Glad it's not terrorist related, would be a rather lame terrorist attack in my mind... but then again my mind's wires have been re/dis/wrongly connected too. So tell us, what were you up too during those couple hours? Skating up n down La Cienega in your hot pants and race blades or did you manage to meet up with Frenchy to make the best of it?
  9. Very cool, thanx, might have to do a FUCKdesign instead or FORDEsign too... Absolutely, will be there. hopefully having a better (skydiving) weekend.
  10. depends... is it made of wood? can it burn? be a witch? in anycase it might help for pond swooping.
  11. Just ordered another, Rawa... same color same everything, do you think the sticker will look good on the new helmet? So what does it say? Was fun to goof off with you Mom.
  12. This is part of what I do for a living... I recommend westhost.. http://www.westhost.com/
  13. I've been scratching you all day. boldly go where no man has gone... I sense this thread may be moved to the Women forum any second now. Cool, I've always wanted to go check it out... On another note, hows it?
  14. I've been scratching you all day. boldly go where no man has gone...
  15. Are you the mother? errr nooo... plus i'm not even in the affected area... just put 45 minutes of Blackout, add Frenchy68 and you have it...
  16. Where have you been all morning, thank you.
  17. did you guys notice that the HOT AIR BALLOON shot, the non busted balloon looks identical to BURNER's balloon in Eloy, might be the same one. Anybody got a pic to compare?
  18. Thank you, thank you...
  19. No shit... $400 gone, new one on the way... it was to this date, the most comfortable helmet I ever had, I loved it... the sucker fit like a glove!
  20. Hard Lesson... Do not leave your Helmet lying on the bench, on the tram while on your way to the Otter... it might decide to jump off and take a little ride on the tarmac before ending UNDER the tires of a fully loaded tram. My pride and joy got crushed like a paper cup. I would point out that the camera is fine saved by the box. yeah it was 3 months old.
  21. Must be that French thing... should I correct the spelling ?
  22. I don't think this is making fun of the disaster in the south, but more about how certain things were handled I'm surprised it's not a catfish or a lil 'gator... I might add this might be a 'speakers corner' one.
