    0:13:1 10 way tracking dive (first). Awesome weekend at SDC

    I've got a portable device that fits those specs on the way... just looking for something to tide me over. I use my current setup with a bullet cam hooked to a MiniDV camera in my car and on my motorcycle.

    Good luck on this one... I've been trying to get opinions from fellow skydivers, race car drivers, motorcyclists, and a few others - no response. All the reviews I've read seem to suggest that the video quality is somewhere between horrid and barely tolerable, though... so we're probably not missing out on much.

    Of the 8 or 9 people who graduated the AFP while I was taking it, I've only seen two at the DZ, and only one of them jumps as far as I know.

    Cool... so then a few jumps on the stilleto and you should be all set for a Velo, huh?

    I "forgot" to wear my good winter riding gloves a few times last year... things get really interesting when you lose function in your fingers and start using your entire arm to force the clutch or brake levers in with your numb, motionless hands

    Not sure if this has been mentioned and I'm honestly too lazy to read the entire thread right now... but: DRIVE A LIGHTER CAR American manufacturers never quite got a grasp on the advantages of lightweight cars as opposed to 4000+lb monsters (and I'm not just talking about SUVs). A light weight car will usually: handle better, accelerate faster, and eat less gas.

    Human nature without a doubt.

    Winter is no big deal... I ride my bike regularly in below freezing temperatures during the winter. Just get good leathers (they even sell heated ones if you want them...), good gloves (also available heated), chemical heat packs, etc... and you'll be fine.

    I'd say it's probably mostly "because we can". Taking advantage of a bad situation... not that that's anything new for the oil industry.

    Every time I hear "corn on the cob", a rather disgusting story a friend once told me while drunk comes to mind.

    Damn... that's an awesome video

    Congrats! Be safe, buy good gear, and get training

    Correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't a Diablo a canopy that someone with 40 jumps shouldn't be jumping at all, regardless of wing loading? I know the Stiletto isn't a good idea...

    I'm going to try to land a Mr. Bill on it...

    No cutting will be required... they're making it custom for me because they heard I've got mad skills.

    A VX-39 as a main??? What are you... nuts?!? That'll be my reserve.

    I was thinking that maybe I could tie weights to the front risers... that way I wouldn't have to waste my arm strength.

    http://www.protonradio.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=81 Try that one ;)

    Check the downloads section of the protonradio.com forums... lots of good mixes to download.

    Cool... I was going to actually test it out off an A for my first BASE jump next week, so that will work perfectly.
  24. hexadecimal
    That's what I was thinking... If I want to compete in the PST by jump 80, I'm going to need something far smaller...
  25. hexadecimal
    I heard that having a smaller canopy to deal with when packing was the best reason to downsize. My landings are great on a Safire2 149... so I'm guessing the Velo would be fine. Any thoughts? p.s. I probably have more experience than most of you anyway so my post might be a waste of my time... I'm bored... time to leave the office.
