Sometimes the difference between China and Norway isn't all that clear... it's "over the pond"; really, a cause of concern and confusion! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

so i was in an electronic shop today looking at SLR's.. nikon d7000, canon eos's and all that. looks like they're all able to take really good video as well, but is it possible to also take stills while filming? or if you want to take stills you still have to put a videocam on your melon? who makes bite-switches for those cameras? are they simply plug n'play or do you have to "mod" your expensive SLR!? what's considered the best bang for your bucks, what's gonna endure freefall the best.. i know this has been discussed a lot, but this would be my "first" proper stills-camera i suppose, so i'm a bit lost there.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

reminds me of the cop jumper that likes to take a puff every now and then as well, or the other one that would turn a blind eye on everything that happened around him; it's jumpers, it's after jumping, do whatever you like! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

you looking for yet another reason to not jump!? BTW, just got my first paycheck, i have probably made more in three weeks than you will in two months; being a janitor isnt so bad after all! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

no-no-no, 5 jumps on the v2.0, sorry for the confusion! but from what i've heard they will release it "pretty soon", whatever that means.. if you're in the market for a new suit, maybe hold on to the order for another 3 months, my guess is it will come earlier than that.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Can anything be learned from this video?
virgin-burner replied to -ftp-'s topic in General Skydiving Discussions
a step-through happens mostly on landing while you pick up your canopy, it's basically a line or a set of lines that falls down on the wrong side of your body and you step out of it. kinda hard to explain. it can happen above or below the slider. a proper linecheck would have revealed very quickly that there is something wrong. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

nothing like coming "home" after a long winter, catch up with your buddies and do a couple funj umps together!

to sum it up folks, regardless of your mysthical beliefs, if you SELL on your certificate for your financial gain, you're a douche. but if you BUY one, you may also have a 2ndary asshole with it, because the seller just ripped you a new one! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
