  1. no..the age at which a kid says 'I want to skydive' because he/she 'wants to', realising what it is he/she is doing. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  2. I do wonder sometimes who was the youngest jumper to conciously make the the dicission the jump. A lot of 2/4 year old look like they are taken up because of the records. Having seen a few video's of 2/3 year olds in freefall it didn't look like they enjoyed it too much... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  3. Here's some backstory on another 'young' tandem http://www.dropzone.com/forum/General_C4/Talk_Back_F1/Two-year_old_goes_skydiving_in_Holland!!!_P28384/ JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  4. What worries me about that add, is that it could set a trend. In a years time every girl will want to lose weight on her right thigh (look at the picture...her left thigh is okay according to the dotted line) Women with one perfect left thigh and one sknny right thigh are not nice....I want them the same size...and if possible, I do like to hold something...not just skin and bones...

  5. BTW this is the same stunt he pulled over a beach in Cape Town (only he didn't bother getting permission that time) And what makes you think he bothered to get permission for the stunt he pulled in holland No paperwork filed for a demo or low-pull (pulling below 2500 ft is ILLEGAL in holland, when skydiving from an airplane) and don't even think of what could have happened had his chute snivelled or malfunctioned. He would have taken a few people with him... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  6. I made a short film (the intro for our club-boogie) and people suggested I enter it in a skydiving-movie festival. Are there any movie-festivals out there that accept submissions from abroad (Holland) If anyone has adresses or url's or festivals to submit to? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  7. http://www.petitiononline.com/fandango/petition-sign.html? Sign the petition...maybe we'll get lucky! I have it on Video, but I'd love to own it on DVD... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  8. Are you sure that isn't just wishfull thinking...you pervert Sure looks like a girl to me. Aside from not finding a 2,5 meter black dude to play Dennis Rodman for Cutaway, I don't think anyone would have trouble finding a nice girl who skydives to do the stunts for this one... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  9. Found out that someone on the dutch forum found this link a while back. Only found out after surfing for commercials 1,5 hours straight....the things I do for you guys!! http://www.kicken.com/commercials/www.kicken.com-fa.parashutiste.wmv Men...keep your hands above the table when watching this!! Someone might want to upload this to ftp.skydivingmovies.com.. That's Dutch TV for you....anybody want to move here.. The commercial says "are you always looking for that sensational freshness, discover Fa showergells fressness.......how fa(r) will you go..." And then some lady starts talking about how horny she gets from their showergel (okay...something like that:) Have fun... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  10. I'll see if I can accidently tape a few blocks of TV commercials, and upload this baby for you people to watch (nekid..) This is the ultimate skydiving porn hehehe The commercial actualy looks like it was made by people who understand one or two things. No cuting away of an entire rig via a single handle like in tombraider..but real skydiving footage of this hot chick in a tight purple jumpsuit... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  11. FA showergel (don't know if you have it in the states?) has a new series of commercials that show 'How FA you will go to get fresh' The latest one shows a (hot) skydive-chick exit a plane, do a steep headdown dive (to get fresh), then open her canopy. She decides she's not fresh enough, so she takes of her rig, and dives down towards the ocean. In freefall she opens her jumpsuit (FULL FRONTAL NUDITY!!!) and fall out of the suit practicly naked (only a G string) and dives into the sea.. You see her underwater, diving towards the camera, and then she's in the shower with FA shower-gel, which supposedly has the same effect... INCREDIBLE.. Anyone seen this one online already? Just to be on the safe side..this is not one of my wet dreams...this is an actual commercial playing on dutch TV now. They might cut the nudity in the UK or US version...(silly country...you can own a gun, and kill whole groups of people on TV, yet, you can't show a booby on tv....) This commercial aired at 19:30 on the dutch tv...I love this country... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  12. Doing a naked 4 way from a cessna, including a naked pilot seemed pretty crazy to me... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  13. It could also be a flipped shot. It's something that happens in editing every once in a while to keep the action on the correct axis If something moves from left to right in one shot, then right to left in the next one, and then left to right again, the then audience tends to think you're moving back and forth...so they flip a few shots every once in a while to keep 'the direction/axis' the same..

    TLC rocks

    Check out The Learning Channel website.. They certainly have a good taste in pictures JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  15. A good friend of mine has only 1 eye, and he has no problems with skydiving solo or doing formations/freeflying what so ever. He just moves his head around a bit to gauge depth, and seeing how he does in freefall, it works like a charm... so have fun.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  16. After Effects is NOT a video editing program btw. A lot of people use it as one, but it's a program in which you work on or enhance one single shot of video.. For editing, use Premiere, DV Raptor, Final Cut Pro, Miro Studio, Media Studio...or heck...even a casablanca..:) My showreel is in divx/avi format...should work if you have divx installed. Don't use a download accelerator...my provider doesn't support that..:( JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  17. Have you used it before? Some people use After Effects as an editing program, but it's realy for image manipulation and special effects (and some groovy Oprah stylee title stuff:) but it's not a program you click/start and understand in 10 seconds... There's a lot of stuff in my showreel that shows after-effects work. There's a shot of a spaceship/spacestation, and that's just a couple of images from google, cut out and animated in after effects. And a few shots of a friend of mine, who I duplicated (so you see him as twins, in my own whazup commercial) and there's a lot of misc. 3D stuff that was added into 2D backgrounds with after effects. http://www.3dluvr.com/mccordia/3danimation/mccordia_demo2001_divx.avi The program is incredible...it's somewhere in between photoshop and premiere, and can do tons of cool things. If you take the patience to learn that is... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  18. This plane was supposed to come to holland last week, but it got cancelled due to some engine troubles. Airplane-nuts from all over europe had come to holland. What's quite funny is that this freaking huge plane only needs a short runway. But take-off sort of happens in 2 stages. First it needs enough speed to get the wings flying (the realy droop down when it's on the ground) and then when the wings are flying they finaly lift the whole plane.. Damn cool..

  19. to quote a famous movie "This is not a life.....who would choose this!???" But seriously, skydiving made my life make a complete 180. Basicly every point in the above posts... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  20. According to the site, it also has a quick-release (30 bucks extra) Took me 2 or 3 visits to their site before I found the nav.menu on the left side... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  21. A friend of mine recently bought this helmet with a camera-setup, but hasn't jumped it yet (you need A c licence and 200 formation jumps first, he's almost there) I want to start looking for a camera-helmet later this year, but was curious if anyone had experienced this helmet. Judging the 'in action' pics on the site it sits nicely on the head. Anyone use this helmet and like/dislike it? http://www.svx-helmet.com/pages/accueil2.htm JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  22. Tomorrow I quit work at 16:00 and drive to a DZ 15 minutes from here, and get to jump untill sunset (22:15 or so) Share to fun :) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  23. I think (no matter what int. gear regulations say) you always have to oblidge to club-rules. If they say 'you can not jump from our plane, unless you wear a pink tutu, and have an at least 300 sq/ft canopy, and 5 cypress' installed' then...no mater what you say...they have every right to not allow you to jump...it's not a right they are offering you...it's a service. So when places like Ampuria say you must have a cypress if you want to jump there....then you must have one...their DZ...their rules... And even in the US..no matter what rules..if there is a dz that decided you can no longer jump there without a cypress..then it could also just send you away without jumping.....sux huh...

  24. Basicly everything from Linkin Parc, because every song is associated with skydiving. So sitting in my office, and hearing their music (or basicly ANY 'skydiving song') turns my happy work-day into HELL, because I can't keep my thoughts away from skydiving... F*CKIN' MUSIC!!!!

    Cool video

    I remember hearing he had to cut his steering-lines because they entangled with the wing, so maybe he had to flair on his back-risers, and with that fullsize glider-plane that helped him in his unaided flight on his back it would probably be hard for everyone to land. I gues even the god of the skies aka greatest skydiver ever sometimes fubar's a landing... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
