  1. I think I finished Chicken base some time back in 95!
  2. The only problem I had so far, was the lcd screen, and the cover locks opend during freefall and after opening shock!
  3. What kind of lens(es) have you used? Im going to buy lenses, but so far I have only used the ones I had for my pdx10, Century precission ultra fisheye MKII, and sony VCL-HG0737X Thank you!
  4. Just got hand on this one! [url]Sony HDR-HC1 Mini DV / HDV[url] Anyone testjumped this one yet?
  5. This is the sport I have seen forgiven to the most reckless ones, and hard to the safe ones! The last accident came very suprising to me and my friends, this was the unexpected one! Listening to the experienced ones, and do your homework from the planes, instead of be suprised at the most unexpected time! I my self have been tracking along the wall out of controll for a sec or twice, and I have seen others out of controll as well with huge almost roll overs in cross wind, side slips. and altitude loss! I do not know more about the last accident than the most of you, but I know the more we learn about other accidents the safer we will get! I have tried the most tracking suits at the marked, home made and pro ones! I have only one thing to say, it is fun, but need your fully attention, and respect!
  6. I will join if it suits my scedular! Just pm the date!

    tracking pants

    I had a look at the pressurized pants here in Norway, and are willing to give them a try. But I could see some few things that will not make them fly as good as the Phoenix pants! bigger surface is not always better for distance and speed! I can promise you the Phoenix fly pants is the best I have seen so far! www.friluftslek.no check it out if you have not seen it before! I will let you know if I believe other pants fly better than the poenix! I like there are more than one who make pants, it makes the producers more creative!

    Skibase in Norway?

    PM sent!
  9. Just want to follow up low pulls! Low pulls happens more often now than before, and like Robert say, you have to make a good plan if you intend to pull low! I know Johnny did his homework before he made this jump, but it can quick turn very very wrong! Lately we had two water landings at our favorite cliff! And both was due to low pulls! Case one he have an old canopy, and it snivels alittle bit in the opening, land in the water! The second one missed his pilot chute, thought he had pulled, but nothing happend, and he found the pilotchute in the pocket, he pulls, get canopy, and land in the water! Both of this happenings could have gone much worse! Low pulls can go wrong: If you you have a pilotchute delay! If you have a snivel opening! if you miss the pilotchute! If you hit building,rocks, trees etc in the landing! If you have an linetwist! And water can easily kill you if you do not have an rescue boat! And now my questions: What if you have an 180 opening, and a fast flight like Johnny had? What if you have cross wind slightly from back, and you open down wind? What can these to scenarios do to your opening? I just love to see pics and vids like this, I also like to have my friends still with me on the next jump!
  10. Norwegian Government will ban basejumping from cliffs! This is a sad sad day for all of us!I will come back with more information as it will be availeble! Just got the morning news here in Romsdalen!
  11. These guys are doing the real work! http://www.bluesky.se
  12. Fly Pants make you pull low, and its like cocaine! Everyone should be awere of the side effects of a good flight!You just d-o-n-t want to pull! Its just to fun! And the ground does not look that scary! Be warned, and be carefull!
  13. I think you read about the party cruise boats, the travel agency hired for young tourists in Ibitza spain! No one was charged, but the travel agancy was investigated by news reporters, because they used dangerous party boats with no controll what ever happend to the young adults! It was a safety question rather than the young people did any illegal! The boat companies sell cheap night trips with free alcohol, and the servers push booze on the youngsters, more than they can handle often! Some sold the pictures to the news, and they had a perfectly good case with tits and naked girls on party boats! As you know skin sell alot of newspapers! Now I don't smoke pot. If I go to Amsterdam, I know I can (if I wanted) smoke a joint and come back to the good old U.S.A and not worry about what will happen to me because I smoked pot in a country where it is legal.*** I think you know that smoking pot (public) in Norway is illegal! Kjerag is not only for jumpers, but also for families and other tourists, camping at the ground!
  14. Last year while in Norway, I was attending a party when suddenly, the cops showed up, grabed several people out of the crowd and pissed tested them right there and then. I thought to my self, I guess I'm not in kansas anymore. The rest of the world is a nice place to visit, but I'm not sure I'd want to live there *** I would rater pass a piss test, and jump legally from big walls than not jump a big wall at all Come on Kevin! Is that all you remember from travelling?
  15. The Gargoyle WSX is the most aerodynamic shaped rig on the marked for the moment, but slightly harder to pack! If you think the WSX is complicated to pack in the beginning, you can pack it as an ordinary Gargoyle, since all WSX come with the top flap closing system as well! When it comes to the open corner modification, it is not a must for the tracking! My self will on my next WSX ask for ordinary corners!
  16. The lagging is minor, but it is there! I should maybe ask what others do when they convert their files from final cut pro, to a quick time format? Thank you!
  17. I dont know if he know what troll is
  18. Hi I am trying to make a smooth converting for web use! I edit in Final cut pro from DV Pal 48 KHz Anamorphic, and convert the file with compressor MPG-4 24P Source Material, and at last I go to mpg-4 improved 24p progressive! I have tried alot of different conversions, and this is the best quality I can get in a reasonable size (one minute 6 mb +-) but the clip is lagging, and do not run smooth! Anyone know how to do it different? Here you can see the result! I made some few promo clips! www.friluftslek.no

  20. I think it was John Vincent who tried to explain to MTW early 1990´ies! "It is like an car accident and sex at the same time"
  21. I would like to see the list as it is! Keep up the good work Nick

  23. Where to get a belly/body mount? Links to skydive camera stores needed! Thanks for all help
  24. Reagan, of course, shortly thereafter laid out a comprehensive plan to topple the Soviet Union. He believed Moscow spent far more than the intelligence services believed on defense, and that with strong pressure—including military, diplomatic, financial, and political measures—the Soviet Union could be made to collapse and its support for terrorism end. The CIA, when asked to compile a dossier on the Soviet Union and terrorism, came back and told the administration the Soviets not only didn’t support terrorism, but also actively opposed it!!

  25. Hahaha that made my day TY! We are about to celebrate 100 years with out a union, and last time we got ripped off! We will see what is going to happen after the election, I guess it is just about time to join EC with our Oil money and fish! The funny thing is why did they not take out Saddam last desert war when they had the chance? To many to shear with? It was a huge coalition who could have made a success, even with other Arab countries supporting, and involved! http://www.desert-storm.com/War/nations.html
