In keeping with years past the all round load is done on saturday, FYI. Glad to hear you be around. If you can't be there on Sat, we can make a smaller load with you when you get here, check in at ticket sales for contact info. untill then. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

You forgot the DC-3 Anyone who still has a paracomander and still has the balls to jump it, we will be having the retro round up again this year (the 8th year in a row) and will be jumping the 3, so bring your own old crap. It looks like we have add five more rigs to our line up for a total of 25, but we are still working on some of them to get them ready. Don't have a round jump yet ? We might train you and we might let you jump one, maybe! No carbone you can't go this year, cuz you went low last year... ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Only if you want DV in and DV out in real time. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

So your argument doesn't seem to hold water (quote) Maybe, but I think you missed the the point, in that same ten years, me and many others didn't use one. (for the record I just put one in last year for the first time) We flew different then, because we had to pull a handle or go in, today many people depend on these things to save them and then get careless in the air, after all they have a full face helmit and an aad so it don't matter if they get the shit kicked out of them, there's those things to save them. Seen it way to many times. I NOT trying to get in a pissing contest with you! However I feel it is a valid point, even if you think it don't hold water. Have a great and safe weekend! ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

I didn't say no one bounced. Just worked real hard to not get the shit kicked out of you, so as to not go in or lose teeth ect. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

That and they are wearing AAD's. Take away both and let's see how many teeth get knocked out and how many broken noses they have, I'll bet they would skydive like they did before they became cool. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

You don't think spending money on a rig when your out of a job and going to be on hiatus for two years to go to school kind of stupid? Spend the money on books and stuff you can use instead of a container that will sit around till you can fill it up. ($$$$$$$$$) What about when you get out of school and have a better income, will there be a better FF friendly rig on the market then for the same money or less? ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

You got a short some place, could very well be the trigger, or at the 2.5mm plug end or you could have two wires touching. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Videonics MX-1 PRO DV The PRO model is the only one in the line that has firewire ports in and out. Kind of high dollar, but have seen on ebay much less then new. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

I have both an open face and full face and still jump 80% of the time with the full face cause I like to do RW and I can think of 2 instances where I would have had a broken nose without the face shield. Chances are your first jumps are going to be RW and a full face would be the best option (quote) I disagree, We've been doing combat RW for years with out full face helmits or AAD's, if your getting the shit kicked out of you then maybe you should jump with a little less combat and a little more care... (Edit to add) We all as fun jumpers don't need to be or try to be Airspeed, that's why they call it FUN JUMPING, play safe.... ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

And you can't hear shit in them. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

facilities, We don't need no stinking facilities! huge camping area, showers on site, big ass hanger you can pack in or drop off at the packing tent. A whole shit load of "port o let's". A bunch of airlift, wild party's every night, naked people, old round shit to jump. And a lot of hotels to stay in, but you better book fast. What else do you need to know, just get here and shut up and jump! ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

I've found the openings I'm happiest with come from packing in accordance with the manual but I pay particular attention to making sure the slider quartered I second that! I would say folds in the nose not rolls, like tha manual says to do. Happy packing.... ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

#6 Some guy tied the sleeve extraction line to the apex instead of the sleeve, so it only came half way off. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Hee, Hee, there's more then one way to skin a cat. Good for you! ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

What you haven't tried a Mr bill with a TDM ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Admittedly outside video misses the opening(quote) What? I don't miss the opening shots. Do you? LOL And pulling high and not jumping a pocket rocket lets me fly no contact crew and get all of the canopy ride down. The students love to get film of them under canopy and the stills sell well too, there's not much I miss durring the jump, but the audio, and if I really wanted it I could just mic the student, but more a pain in the ass then it worth. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

So ol chuckles broke a someones leg?(quote) Seen him bust two in one day from flairing to high. And at least 3 others that I have seen first hand, all were tdm's. And hooked it into a parking lot (quote) Yep 3 yrs ago at the richmond boogie last load of the day dipshit was out deep (TDM ) and didn't take any of the MANY out's that are around, but kept on running down wind till the last few feet then hooked the TDM into the day parking lot (full of cars) and stopped just short taking out one. Then that night he got into his C-206 and took off in front of the fbo on the taxiway got airborne and did a 180 and buzzed the party at about 100ft off the deck. Not cool to do at a city owned airport when the mgr is watching EVERYTHING and taking notes. Need less to say he won't be getting ANY work there anytime soon, however he could jump there, but everyone hates his guts and can't stand him, won't work with him or jump with him or ride in the same plane with him! He's got a crossfire 139 he just got ,maybe he'll hook it into the ground for a crowd pleaser.He seems to think he can swoop now. (quote) Or more like take out someone under canopy because the dude has and always will have his head up his ass, with out a snorkel even for fresh air. I sure wish you luck with your losing battle, you can't win with a dumbass like chuck'o and you can't tell a fool their a fool! So till your dzo sees the light you should get out, travel, see the world, or just your little corner of it and have some fun, life is to short to have your corn flakes pissed on by some turd. Stop in over at SWC I know you would get fair work Yea a long drive I know, so what..... ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Gee wiz an unsafe dickhead now with a video on his hand, that will make him safer, NOT! Oh well at least there will a record of some kind the next time he breaks someones leg or hookturns into a parking lot. I feel for you man having to be in the same state let a lone the same dz with old chuck'o. I hate to say it but it sounds to me like the dzo (I've never met him) is stupid or just fucked in the head, it would be a good idea to find a new home dz if the dzo let him back and puts up with his crap, well that says a lot, he don't care, sounds to me if you like it or not, stay or go. If chuck'o is (as I know he is) pissing off and driving everyone on staff nuts (nobody can stand him!) Then ALL of you need to pack your shit up and leave And let your dzo and chuck'o do all the work. In one week your phone will be ringing,if it's not well then you'll be better off and happy jumping where your 8yrs of loyalty might carry some weight, maybe. If not you know what they say, "can't beat um, join them", I think you can sign up for a class to be more like chuck'o, but you have to drive to Kentucky! ` you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Did you ever stop to ask your selfs why is it that EVERY DZ in the state of ohio and some in Indiana and MI have run Chuck "inbreadhillbillyjackass" B. off their dz's! Maybe you should point this out to your dzo. Not to forget all the students he has hurt over the years and stupid stunts while doing TDM's. This guy should never have got a TM rating, but thanks to a dzo who just signed off his paper work, we (well you) are stuck with this clown. You should call around and ask you would be surprised to hear some of the unsafe shit he has done or, I guess you could just shoot him and be done with it. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Thats a videonics board , only with the new name. Good and fast in real time, if I could use new one I would get the "pro DV" model but they cost a lot. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Uh gee dave good point there, come to think of it NOT ONCE in the last 11 yrs have I had my system crash or need to be upgraded. (not counting the putter folks who say I have to go PC/MAC) I can be done in 10 mins or less, while the putter folks are still fucking around trying to get it to work.

Times change, it's time to move on, maybe they'll miss you? think bigger dz with turbine.... ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

What I need is the Brand name and model of a linear video editor, or someone who know what I need send me a link for something on Ebay. (quote) Take a look at the videonics "MX-1 PRO DV" board. A real time editor with firewire in and out jacks. Look on ebay. They cost some bucks but will do just what you want in pure dv. ~ you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo
