Another nice thing about Sony Vegas is that it's bundled with Sony Architect Studio. You'll like that when it comes time to burn the DVD's Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

That is definately a repost but worth seeing again. The truth really sucks, doesn't it? I'm watching to find a Camry for half what it's worth because some idiot thinks it's unsafe. One mans garbage is another mans gold! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Game: How many jumps do I have?
skyjumpenfool replied to skyjumpenfool's topic in Safety and Training
Here's a new game.... Guess how many jumps this person has based on his/her add in the classifieds. Here's the add... Storm for sale "This Storm 170 was made custom for me back in June of 2009. It has a red top skin, yellow bottom skin, black ribs and red slider. I put 49 jumps on it before making the mistake of trying a friends Saber 2 150 and as you can guess I'm now looking to downsize. This canopy has never been cut away, has always been packed indoors on packing mats and is in perfect condition. I am willing to trade for a Saber 2 or Katana 150 that was built within the last 5 years and has under 200 jumps." How many jumps do I have?

I would tend to agree with skyrider here (did I just say that). Maybe you should touch bases and ask for clarification. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Has anyone seen the new Toyota commercials? The ones touting their new slogan... Toyota - Moving Forward http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuXMlPdyD3Q I think we can do better than "moving forward", don't you? How about this Toyota – Survivable? Or my favorite... Toyota - Unstoppable! Any ideas?? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Difference between a good date and a great date.

NO, NO, NO!!!! It doesn't matter who she is or how hot. Waking up married is NOTgood! Maybe we need to explain the concept of this thread? I'm getting a headache just thinking about this... gotta go find some Advil... by Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
Where to get A-Certified Cheaply

What's really cool at this DZ is the way they manifest. You put your name on the list. The next 4 people on the list get in the plane. Everyone jumps with everyone and they're always more than happy about it. Hell, they'll even jump with me?? And, as stated above, on every other load, you're jumping with someone that has 14-15 thousand skydives or is a current or former National Champion. At the end of the day, Bob fires up the Party Bus and you take a tour of the local pubs. Hausse... I gotta agree with you on this one. It's one of my favorite places and the price is right.

Jeep - electronics go haywire after unlocking w/ remote
skyjumpenfool replied to FlyingJ's topic in The Bonfire
Love my Grand Cherokee. Gas is still the cheapest thing you can buy. Anyway... I'm not a Jeep expert, but, It might be the Body control module. It's a seperate computer that controls interior functions. Could be a loose module connector or just condesation in the plug or something simple like that. Just a thought.... Troubleshooting electrical problems like this is best left for the really good mechanics, not DZ.comers like us??? Good luck though.

You might look into the PD Storm. Because it's a seven cell, you might be able to get a few more square feet packed in. Plus, they're great canopies. Just another option to look into. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

So what setting do you shoot your stills at ?
skyjumpenfool replied to sky-pimp's topic in Photography and Video
Kodak.com used to have a great tutorial on the relationship between Shutter Speed, Aperature, and Depth of Field. Check it out if you get a chance. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
So what setting do you shoot your stills at ?
skyjumpenfool replied to sky-pimp's topic in Photography and Video
Keep in mind, from a photo composition point of view, we use the blurred image to give us the illusion of motion. Maybe, a jumpsuit sleeve that is slightly blurred will add to the shot by implying speed and movement. I think that a shot with some blurred aspects is not all bad. In fact, I think if done correctly, it is preferred. Freezing the frame is good, but not the entire shot needs to be frozen. IMHO as always. -
I've found that when I'm switching canopies in my container to do crw, I've experienced PC hesitation and even PC in tow. What I found was that when I was doing the switch, I was inadvertently uncocking the PC. Since I’ve been checking it more carefully, no more instances. Anyway, check your PC before you jump. Make sure it is cocked all the way. Remember, even though it may work fine at 120-130 mph, sub-terminal deployment is another animal.

Pete hit the treeeee and the, treeeeee won...... Dude!!! You've had your string of bad luck for the year. I told you to stick to safe shit like leaping from airplanes. Proz and I are talking about a bike trip out west this summer. We'll have to stop in and say hello. Do you think you can stay alive that long??

Where to get A-Certified Cheaply
skyjumpenfool replied to kgp4death's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
If you're looking for cheap, skydiving may not be for you. I hear you can bowl 10 frames for under $3 on Wednesday nites? Or, just do a Yahoo search for "boring shit". Yep that'll work. Otherwise, find a reputable DZ near your home and take it one jump at a time. Ohh! And, welcome to the sport. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
