Wow more people have actually come down this far than I thought. I was born and raised there, not much of an exciting town. So you got to stay at good ol Wackin Hut! I was just wondering, cause everytime I pass over it I can imagine jujmping from it, but only in my dreams for now

I didn't want to use the name of the bridge incase of violating the rules. It stands about 265 feet. I was wondering if many people have jumped it, or know about it? Thanks. Dale ~Dale

Heading out to the DZ Aggieland for the first time in 5 months. See how things have changed and meet up with the gang again. Maybe even throw some practice packing in. ~Dale

I pulled one of the molex connectors off of the 4 wire plug. I used the Red wire as the power with a jumper to the radio signal which turns the amp on. Then I used the ground closest to the red wire. So you should have an extra yellow wire and it's black ground. ~Dale

I have been a die hard BTTF fan since day one. I used to take a little buggy cart with a bucket in the certain, and pour the bottoms of beer cans in it with random trash like the Mr. Fusion in the 2nd one . I own the trilogy too. I saw the real car used in the movie too. Nice find on the site. ~Dale

I powered a 200 Watt MTX amp with my old Rosewill 400watt PSU for a computer. The 12v rail on it was rated for 32 amps and I forget the MTX, but it was lower. It worked pretty well too. ~Dale

HAHAHA, I found that really funny. ~Dale

Dredg - The Canyon Behind Her Iced Earth - Excalibur (At 2:49) Limp Bizkit - Re-Arranged (At 2:18) Moby - Everloving Orbital - Halcyon & On & On 30 Seconds to Mars - 93 Million Miles (At 4:50) Yea I think I am going to be videographer later on, I am obsessed with timing skydiving videos to music that fit the surroundings

A 90 footer?! Wow, that is high, I take it the landing didn't hurt cause you did it again. How do you go about landing in water that high without hurting yourself. I have learned not to keep your arms out and wear shoes on 40+ cause if not it hurts. Care to share your technique to landing from that high? Thanks. Dale ~Dale

pm sent! ~Dale

I am wondering if there are any active jumpers in Texas right now? I live in College Station and would love to go out and watch when you guys jump, if you don't mind a non-baser tagging along . ~Dale

Hahaha, it is very close to 97, but there are no brakes yet so I think the ride would be a little hectic. ~Dale

Also, anyone have a junk container, that is no longer in use? I need something to contain the canopy and it would just be way easier to hook it up to a real container that already has the cutaway feature and enclosure. Just check my lines and they were way off, fixed the line lengths and now it is ready for flight

I took some more pics, of the new lines and inside cell shot. It is a 7 cell canopy, and the last pic is it in the process of being packed. I found a radio from a friend who does alot of RC Airplane flying, now I need some kind of high torque servo with some leverage on it. Hey AdamSR, do you know who the guy was? If so, I wonder what kind of servos he was using? Thanks Guys! http://mkiiiperformance.net/rcparachute3.jpg http://mkiiiperformance.net/rcparachute4.jpg http://mkiiiperformance.net/rcparachute5.jpg ~Dale

Hmmm, you might be on to something with the round reserve

I got an idea to make a cheap inexpensive RC parachute. Main reason, I would mount a camera on it, and drop it from crazy spots (Really I am obsessed). I am quite obsessed with the whole parachute skydive thing, and it just seems to get stronger everyday . Anyways, I haven't really thought of a way to protect the camera incase of a malfunction . I am actually not sure on the servos I plan on using either. I am going to have to use something that can pull in 1-2 feet of line in a couple seconds. Anyways to the good stuff, the parachute is done. It is approximately 100 sq/ft, and was sewn at a local fabric shop. I used a Para foil kite, identical design to an elliptical parachute, and blew up the design 300% at a printing shop. The fabric shop did an awesome job sewing it and designing their own templates for the cell dividers. I am thinking of maybe putting a little doll on the end with the camera mounted on his/her helmet, but that require some thought on the brake lines from his/her hands, but a good spot to mount the servos. Here are some pics of the canopy, disregard the strings/length, I am missing a few and those were there as guides for the new string. I plan on using some 40lb. nylon string from Wal-Mart. http://mkiiiperformance.net/rcparachute.jpg http://mkiiiperformance.net/rcparachute2.jpg Let me know what you guys think. Ohh yea the parachute was made out of a really really light polyester(Nylon was way to expensive), and is close to 0 porosity. ~Dale

LOL.... yea I like going low(on the game only) cause the ground rush. I will definitely work on my exit out of the jet . Yea that "magic" base rig on the bike is a new trick, give it time to catch on to the world . ~Dale

I haven't been able to work towards my A license at all in the past 4 months. Main reason is, I have to really concentrate on school this semester, and not very much money. I forgot all about my San Andres game so I decided to throw a video together. As close as I can get right now . Right Click and Save as please. http://mkiiiperformance.net/GTA.wmv ~Dale

I am going to join the Texas A&M Aggies over Texas skydiving club. I am new to it, but have been a fan since I was 8. Anyways, I am pretty sure I have to provide my own gear and was wondering what would be the best free fall gear for a noob? When I say gear I mean everything I need to jump. Thanks. ~Dale

Video starts off with text that say, "A Year In The Life". The video is about 10 minutes long. At the end the guy jumps from a hotel in the middle of New York and coasts inbetween the buildings and lands on the street. A link would be awesome, thanks in advance. ~Dale
