  1. Are you recommending a fully elliptical main for a guy that has 19 jumps? Biggest one thats not a tandem main recommends a 272 sq ft for a novice with an exit weight of 195. This guy is about 65 lbs over that. I'm not a super expert or anything, but this doesn't look like a very good option to me. __ My mighty steed
  2. I've been clinically dead (no pulse, no breathing) for over a minute, not once, but 2 times in my life resulting from: a: drowning as a child b: bleeding out as an adult I'm definitely on bonus time __ My mighty steed
  3. Thanks for the info all. Think I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy a top mounting platform. The new camera just arrived and its actually a full half inch wider than its predecessors. The DCR-HC20, 30, and 40 are about 2 inches wide. This new DCR-HC48 is 2.5 inches. __ My mighty steed

    Hopefully their iPhone battery wont be dead __ My mighty steed
  5. Apple already knows that the battery only needs to last until the next super exciting, must have, better thing comes out After that, who cares?
  6. Blah. I don't get all the excitement. Its just gonna be old, tired technology this time next year and the simple fact is that people just don't need this shit. Surf the internet from anywhere? Big freakin deal. If I'm surfing the internet from the meadow then I'm not really "in the meadow", now am I? Maybe my body is, but my mind isn't. This technology just robs people of fully experiencing "the moment", and stops you from having your whole mind with you wherever that may be at any given time. I have a cell phone. I forget it and leave it in the car most of the time. I don't "text". The only time I use the damn thing is when I'm on call or I call my wife to tell her I'm on my way home from the DZ
  7. Does a larger rig (V357) have less chance of riser strike? __ My mighty steed
  8. Think I'll just have a camera embedded in the front of my skull and have the lens in the center of my forehead
  9. My concern over top mounting is my fear of whacking the camera on things, the door, people, etc. I'm not planning on being a videographer shooting video of other people doing RW, so when I say RW I'm meaning that I will be doing RW Wont a top mount cause more hazard of smacking the camera? __ My mighty steed
  10. Would I need to mount it farther back as opposed to directly on top? I dont usually have my head straight up and down when I'm belly flying... Whats the best way to determine the optimal spot to mount it? __ My mighty steed
  11. I have a Sony DCR-HC48. This is a newer model roughly the same diemnsions as the HC20, 30, 40 etc I already bought a Ion helmet and side mount for the camera which arrive tomorrow I read in another post yesterday someone say that you cant use these Sony cameras on a side mount as they are too wide. Is this true or was that just this persons preference? I dont want to have to purchase another mount, and frankly I prefer it on the side. Thoughts? Incidentally, I do RW mostly. No freeflying. __ My mighty steed
  12. Where did they get a picture of my ex-wife???? __ My mighty steed
  13. whats pron? __ My mighty steed
  14. overexasterated?!?? __ My mighty steed
  15. I can figure out which races black, red, and yellow would correspond with, but which race of humanity is green? Probably me Aside from my confusion on that point , I think its a WAY COOL concept
  16. 9 days till I think about mowing the lawn, and then blow it off to go skydiving
  17. Sorry. Cant mow the lawn from the dropzone. If you don't wanna look at my crappy lawn, shut up and go to the dropzone
  18. I'm not so sure I can trust this site __ My mighty steed
  19. I didn't take it that way. Merely stating his next likely move after the girl hits the bricks. Older guys that have a taste for young girls dont usually change their patterns of behavior. Considering that they married when she was 16 and were very likely involved well before that, I think its quite likely that he DID break the law. He was probably having sex with a 15 year old girl. Thats statutory rape in most states as far as I know. He just didnt get caught. __ My mighty steed
  20. And coach will try to find another little girl __ My mighty steed
  21. Amen brother. __ My mighty steed
  22. The guy is an asshole for getting romantically involved with a child. Some might day that 16 is not a child, but they would be wrong. He was also clearly involved with her before she turned 16. The parents are also assholes and pathetic as you have stated. __ My mighty steed
