Scoop

That was really funny, I thought was going to be your usual *yawn* girls fighting but being really pathetuic. She got some good hits in there! One clear winner! Also something erotic about girls fighting as the waves crash up the beach soaking them to the skin. Mmmmmmmmmm

Hi, I read piisfish's incident report and has made me more determined to get this idea off the ground. I've been thinking about it for a while I am a CNC milling engineer now and my boss & I are looking for a nice project for me to research, refine and manufacture. I've made the suggestion of a camera quick release mounting bracket for camera helmet as seems like simple product to make. If anyone has any advice or suggestions with their experience of flying camera and setting up helmets reply or PM me as I'd be very much interested in hearing what your thoughts are. I'd love to make a nice product for someone and hopefully make their life/job a bit safer too. Obviouslly thinking aluminium for the material due to its weight and will be certainly strong enough for the job. I shall start researching existing products for design ideas but if you have any criticisms of current designs or would like to see something in paticular let me know. Thanks EDIT: I've attached pics to clarify what I'm talking about.

Cool, I'll bust the beers out the fridge then in his honour!

Yeah, good old St George. What did he do again? Was he the dragon man?

This is very true. Just seems so odd that a petty thing would bug you so much. I'd say if anything, the little annoying things in life bother me less now I've started skydiving. I'd hate to think what you were like before!

The only fear I have of the door is when I'm sitting next to an open door with a full load as we are blasting down the runway and still below 1000 feet. As soon as we hit that magic number I relax (thankfully doesn't take long) Last time I wedged my foot against the door frame and locked my knee down so I physically couldn't fall out the door. Even if the plane banked centrifugal force would keep you in the same place anyway, its just phsychological.

I fell asleep once and must have somehow had my leg folded under my body. When I woke up I couldn't straighten it for about an hour. Was just gently moving it a small bit at a time until it was how it should be. Why don't you try it for a laugh!

Trance is too slow for my liking, but goes well on some chilled out videos or when having chilled evening.

How can people that jump out of planes for shits and giggles worry about spelling and grammar? Seems crazy to me. And I always use ... (dot dot dot) because it represents a long pause, often used for comedy effect

Haha yeah, thats another thing that pisses me off. Its history. get over it. Been a symbol for years. Damn do gooders and delicate fairies. Bless them for getting all upset by the world... losers

Its all bollocks, no matter what you do you will upset someone. Always some extreme view or belief that will be contrary to your own. If you don't like it, tough shit Be sensible about it and ignore it. However whilst in the confines of some sort of institution, be it school, college, military, police you should expect to be required to follow some guidlines. Personally I get pissed off with all the minorities whooping about how great and proud they are. Like for example in UK we were bombarded on television not long ago by African month or some shit. Learning about black history for a month. I really couldn't care less and if I wanted to learn I'd look it up. Same as gay pride and all that. Well done, but if your so proud and strong willed about whatever the situation whats the need to bang on about how different you are I don't walk round celebrating that I'm a straight white male in the UK forcing it upon people.

Its a distraction ploy. Make sure you know where your wallet is at all times. Is he 4 foot high and races horses whilst looking for a pot of gold shouting 'bejesus' on the top of his voice? Please tell me he does Can he do me good deal on some poor quality tarmac? I'm in the market for some of that low quality stuff that squishes when you drive on it. Only want it about 1/2 inch thick anyway

Yes mate. Damn conflicting stories! From I love railway dudes to I want to bite their nose off.

Hahaha, thats funny. Sounds like a stroker. But chill dude. Damn, end up getting nicked to prevent breach of peace. Still, some people deserve to be taught some manners. I hate people like that

Sounds like my kind of guy. Don't want to do the time, don't do the crime. Shouldn't be like a fucking holiday camp after all, what kind of a deterrant is that. One of the lads I nicked kned he'd be going back inside... He referred to it as 'Butlins behind bars'

QuoteCambridge UK Im not sure about the rules here but i do it anyway. If im on the road and see a red i skip to the path and blaze across if its clear, it did cross my mind if its legal as i have done it in front of police a few times but never been collered by em so dont think im doing anything wrong.reply] No its not alright, its illegal Offence to ride on pavement. You are a big boy after all (or so the writing says on the toilet wall) As is riding through red light.

Funny as hell WE used to do that... in customers cars then we got told off so used to use office chairs out in the car park instead. Running and jumping on an office chair without it fully over is quite an achievement. As is keeping your creeper going in straight line in mechanic street luge

Fuck that. Its so tight against my ear makes the helmet sit crooked. Tried placing it somewhere else under the lining but doesnt work. Anyway, I'll have holes then and you can bet they'd make an ear drum perforating whistle My apologies.. gaffa tape. Its all the same stuff. At work we refer to it as 'rape tape' which im aware is highly inappropriate .... but funny.

Some not so pretty yet ever so fuctional duck tape should sort that out!

Save the world... get a motorbike

If this is any use to you my Pro Dytter is mounted externally. Purely because of comfort. I dont have a problem hearing it in freefall. I cut diamond shape out of helmet liner though and stitched around the edge to prevent it coming undone. Also the plate is stuck on using car windscreen sealer. that plate never coming off. Also helps to make the hole sealed to prevent windnoise getting in the helmet. Only the wanted tone of the Dytter. Plus I dont really trust those little girly cable ties.

I understand your thinking. Whilst is designed to save us in silly situations (unconcious/lack of altitude awareness) the potential for it to go wrong are still there. Purely because it is there! Safest way to ensure it wont put you in bad position is to not have one, but then don't expect the benefits it can give if its not installed. If your happy with that, go with it. Fuck what anybody else says. Its your call. I've got to get one until I'm B licence and I'm tempted to throw in the bin after that point, however early on in my skydiving timeline I'm going to be fooling around with mates of mine no doubt bumping in to each other. This is also a concern where I can see an AAD being advantageous, paticularly with the whopping level of protection offered by skydiving helmets *cough* You got to weigh things up. I don't believe any electronic piece of equipment is going to operate perfectly 100% of the time and it sounds like neither do you, thats a reasonable belief. 99% of the time, as far as I'm aware (as stated by Walt), unless you meet the parameters needed it won't activate.

I tried that line before mate... turns out its not spunk .......... but he wont reveal what it is

Maybe off topic but you raise and important point nonetheless... Fosters = bad Carling = OK Hurliman = OK Orangebaum (sp?) = OK Grolsch = Good Stella = Good Budweiser = Excellent Truly is the King of Beers!

What are you trying to say!
