  18. They still make them but they aren't on the site . Call Linda at bonehead for it. They make an over sized width on them if you want ? A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  19. Anyone know of a micro chip transmitting device you can put on your main to find it if you have a cutaway? I thought i saw something on this once but don't remember where .

  20. It is obvious that you are wanting to put it on your head from the start here ,with all of your wisdom. And like dave lepka says ,you can't win this argument. If you don't take our advise find another sport to die in! Don't go do something to soon ,give it some time you'll live longer. Why do you think they call it "sportdeath" you can die from it bro. I had a super close call yesterday man "canopy collision" with another cameraman on opening. Two separate tandems we were filming plenty of time between exits too. Luckily we saw each other or it would have been over . We are still trying to figure out the sequence that caused us to be that close . NONE OF US ARE IMMORTAL!

  21. What is the measurement side to side on the plate? I think i'd like a plate made a little wider for mine so i can get my flash beside that setup too! I measured it on mine for me to put flash and everything up there i need a plate 10 3/4 wide compared to the factory 7 in wide? Think he can make one for me?

  22. Okay everyone here is my conclusion on this issue. I tried a couple things here,1st i tired Linda's advise on adding shims in the hinge side of the bone pad .I put 4 layers of shim under the right side of the bone pad which increases outward tension on the hinge ,and it cut away just fine.Then i added some graphite to the hinge and i believe it did the trick . It pops the bone completely off the helmet every time. So i believe i did not have enough tension under the right side of the bone to begin with. Linda has also suggested to that they make a thicker bone pad. I also believe by adding a wedge shaped shim under the hinge where it mounts to the helmet body would greatly increase the tension on the opening hinge by changing the angle of the hinge . I think changing the angle with the wedge under the hinge to begin with will solve this issue completely.

  23. Thanks guys, i planned on putting some graphite on it tomorrow anyways. I'll be sure to let you know how it helps if at all! Lonnie A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  24. I have 2 ftp's and neither one of them will cut away. I just got a retro fit kit for my old helmet ,was trying it out and i will not cut away at all.It seems that something is binding on the hinge. I tried my other ftp to do some comparison between the 2 ,and i can't get it to cut away either ,pull the handle and nothing happens with the bone it stays rock solid . All of the pulling and yanking will not release the helmet . I'd spend the rest of my life trying to get either one of them off! Is there some kind of fucking trick to the hinge or something? Idea's anyone? Thanks Lonnie A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  25. This is my point you had 400 jumps and still bad things happened to you. Everybody wants to be a cameraman way too soon then bad shit happens. I had around 4 to 500 i think and was pretty dam scared with my old pro-tec camera helmet . And it wasn't until later on after 1oo or so camera jumps that it really got scary ,when i started realizing all of the possible scenario's that could go bad!
