    8 out of 9 points! We almost got it Friday and next weekend I'm hoping we pull it off! I was just wondering if any of you guys that have gotten the award have any words of wisdom. It's the sitting that's been the hard part for us, but we finally got all the way through the stair steps ! Going for it in Dallas next weekend! Chaps Carpe diem

    Woo-hoo!!!! Just heard that they were not charged with anything that would stick to their records. I think it was considered a petty offense which is about the equivalent of a speeding ticket. Got the gear back too! Just happy for them! Chaps Carpe diem

    You knew these were the type of responses you'd get before you ever posted. Everybody here knows that. So... why'd you do it Chaps Carpe diem

    OK... I can finally stay inverted I'm kind of a bigger guy 5' 11" 190# When I first started sit flying I burned right through the sky and now I can float with the little guys if I want. I know that it's just a matter of time till I'm relaxed in this new orientation and I can do the same... but I have a question while I'm learning. I've naturally gone into a daffy position while trying to learn. My question is whether a slower daffy is going to involve straighter legs or bending at the knee to present more of the larger part of your legs... Does that make sense??? If you keep your legs straight you'll present more of your leg overall (including the calf), but if you sort of bend at the knee you can really present the larger thigh to the relative. Hope that makes sense... Have fun out there!! Chaps Carpe diem

    Good for you! I bought the 105 just before I heard the 350 would replace the 330 only smaller... Nice camera man! I'm jealous! Chaps Carpe diem

    I'm not a big fan of bashing any product... but I can honestly say that after jumping the nvertigo-x for over two hundred jumps and then flying an actual camera helmet that you'd probably be better off going with one of the previously mentioned helmets. I didn't use this helmet to video (just freefly), but I can tell you that it does not have nearly the same rigidity as the helmet I fly now (sky pimp) or boneheads I've flown before. Just another opinion! Have fun! Chaps Carpe diem

    There's allready a couple of threads about this... Seems like alot of people were comparing the 105 and the 330. Everybody who has the 330 raves about it, but the price difference between the two is significant and...at least from what I've heard here... the video quality really isn't. There's a new version of the 330 coming out soon that is supposed to be smaller. Check it out on sonystyle.com Chaps Carpe diem

    Not that I've made much progress... but what little I have made is 100% due to the coaching I've been fortunate enough to receive! The biggest help I've recieved so far... 1. Smile! 2. Breathe! 3. Smile! 4. Breathe! 5. Smile! 6. Breathe! Repeat.......................... Relax, Breathe... Thanx Mr. Kuczaj... Thanx Robert... Chaps Carpe diem

    Well, I don't have one... but there's a guy at my DZ who's got one I really like. It's a head down dude and in latin it says something along the lines of "don't just exist... LIVE!" Pretty cool. Chaps Carpe diem

    You'll get better answers if you post your current jump experience too... not just tunnel time. Coaching is ALWAYS a good idea! Good videos: Evolution and Flyboyz Party Mix rock. Actually, I think I've liked just about every freefly movie out there! Check out Chronicles III and The clouds edge too! I think most of them can be had on DVD now as well... Have fun!

    Well... I finally got my camera situation together and I'm now the proud owner and flyer of a nice skypimp helmet with a sony on the side. In short: I'm lovin it!!!!!! The sight seems to be pretty much perfect... I don't make much of an effort to fly the video and they're right on shot/angle wise! My only problem is in close flying. On exit (like flowers) and in close (flying docks) I'm not getting the shot straight out in fornt of me due to the side mounting... more like the flyer is in the left side of the frame (Pimps are a right mount) and a bunch of blue sky. I've only jumped it like 15 times now... but did noticing this problem and learning to fix it screw up your flying for awhile? I'm a little worried about it. I'm sure it's just jumps... but I thought some of you might have good advice for learning to deal with the off angle of a side mount. PC-105 with a Sony .6... Pretty much only freefly Be safe, Chaps Carpe diem

    Right on man! cool shot! I was into bungee jumping and SCAD diving way before I even knew about the possibilities of human flight. I never looked back after AFF, but man was that part of my life fun! I've done that same jump... was it circus circus?? With the pool right underneath? Nice jump. SCAD and bungee were, IMHO, much scarier than skydiving... but I was into it for the aerial manuevers and when I found freeflying... Well... I think you know the rest of this story So much fun............... Chaps Carpe diem
