You Da Man!!

Glen, you know you are more than welcome to attend and I don't want to hear your usual excuses why you can't attend. However, I would be surprised to see you there as all the SOCAL birds told me at the holiday boogie that you would spontaneously combust if you traveled farther than your DZ let alone California. Glen wouldn't combust, but his wife would. Either that or get a new set of furniture for letting him off his leash with her permission. Glen, I cant believe your letting them talk about you like that, your your own man.... DON'T let the pressure from the "Other" birds influence you or the dent the new furniture would put on the wallet...... "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Laszlo, Looking at the shots it looks like a flash was getting used, for sure on the last one.. Your running full manual you noted, what were the settings? I agree on the measure, I center point focus on an object a set distance and then go to Manual Focus. For the settings I am running either AV or TV on my XT depending.. Not trying to open the debate on that issue as it is a beat horse on the forums but would be curious about the setting on the noted shots.. Thanks Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Jarno, I am using Firefox and got it open earlier but it is stalled now on another computer also using Firefox. I will check the laptop later. It is safe to say that Scott is busy from what I saw earlier... Scott C. I was going to close the page down and I noted I don't have permission to view, geeze Scott what did I ever do to you ...

Need to register now that I got a flight to TPA booked.. I know of a few west coast birds not noted on the latest list showing up, 4 including me I think I have counted not listed... Looking forward to the trip and hoping it will be fun and the weather is awesome! Can someone order that for the weekend please... Other then crashing at the DZ, what are some suggested places to stay if I decide to go that route.. Basically looking for not that far from the DZ and relatively cheap as I don't anticipate I will be in the room that much. Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Very nice lens, I do love mine! Shooting it on a rebel XT.. Nice job on Exits and great for tandems...You should like it and depending on how much your jumping, it will get paid for pretty quick.. Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Nice vid, That was fun seeing some of the jumps again!

What do you think of the Phoenix Fly Stealth WS?

The ad looks good for it in skydiving... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" -
What do you think of the Phoenix Fly Stealth WS?
sdctlc replied to newone's topic in Wing Suit Flying
well, well, welllllllll...... now the numbers are going up.. First 2:45 followed with the peanut gallery chiming in with "We all did over 3 mins". No more a 3K foot opening but now a 2800' opening.... you are going to screw the math up completely. How can we possibly trust these numbers now, nothing firm and obvious dissenting in the ranks of those there. I see this claim morphing to the infamous "7:1 event" Scott C.

you bet!

Should be a good time if you get to do it. If your visiting your sis, cant she help out in terms of a transport? Borrow a car or find another friend that wants to go as well?? Either way have fun! the video did not seem to make sense if you have already 5 tandems.. Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Anyone recongize these old Idaho jumpers?
sdctlc replied to steve1's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
Ted, I think it is safe to say that the stories that could be generated by Pete alone could both thrill and scare most "normal" people. Toss Squirrel's and the others stories into the mix and even the "slightly off" people might be astounded.... Scott C "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" -
"Bravo" got flipped in a wind storm ~1.5/2 years ago, I think. It was sitting in the hanger w/o wings with a bent tail until BSSA closed towards the end of last year. Not sure where it is now... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

From the stuff he posts, unless she chain smokes and drinks like a fish while living in a trailer doing things far short of the median IQ line on a regular basis, he probably will not notice... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

I would have liked that better if it was just an audio file.... The song spoof was funny.. Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Spot, Really you should not beat around the bush on this topic, I think we would all feel better if you just came out and told us what you think... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Because you tok off without getting a photo of me in the slot. If you'd only have waited til breakoff, everyone would get to see my ass in the midst of coolness and organization. Seriously, can't wait to fly w/you again, just picked up a POV helmet for WS flying. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong (and right) from watching. LOL, the only excuse I have must be that I was scared! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Kim, do you mean more specifically Hand Cam tandems? I have a Royal .3 and it does a good job but I do wish it was just a hair wider for doing tandem handcam. I know a number of people seem to like the .25 Black eye as it gives just a bit more. I do know that Royal has put out the platinum 0.2x I have seen it on their site and on Paragear: http://www.paragear.com/templates/parachutes.asp?group=455&level=1 I don't know much about it and have not seen one in person but Spot might have an idea..

How did I get pulled into this.... "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

The H picture in post 11 really looks like porter but it does not look to be the inside of a porter in the 1st pic? Are you saying tht is the same plane? It is not a currier or a stallion as was mentioned in the thread given the landing gear is different which leads me back to the porter again based on the post 11 pic.... I guess you could get picky and not call it a Pilatus Porter but maybe a Fairchild Porter? Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

That is true but My Samurai is a "Sig" series that Brian Made PD does a great job at what they do... I have a huge variety of equipment but the highest % of canopies I own are from PD and 3 of my 4 rigs have PDR's and I use a PD main for my WS rig.. Thinking about it, Honestly I probably have 1 too many rigs, oh well, I have too much stuff Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
