    some people use socks to fill out the pants, you use a gigantic piercing. thats new, and rather unique too i guess ohh. and no i dont remove my ear piercing even if its sometimes bothering me with the helmet

    if i would buy a new helmet today i would probably have a close look at cookie ozone. i have never tried one on but the material inside the helmet really impresses me. i would belive you could shape the helmet to fit your head perfectly when its on your head by softly pushing it, foam just push back :-/ look at these videos and you will see the bennefit of d3o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDeJ7rLUYU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EBWGbhsuws

    oakleys lenscolor called Iridium ice are blue but look grey from the inside. i love my oakleys, but only on hop n pops. they are not very good for high altitude

    [bad joke] you wont need a audible in the tunnel [/bad joke] looking at the pictures of the helmet it looks like it will work, but i think you need to cut some foam to hold it in place. doesnt Gath have pockets for the outside normally?

    now that the ContourHD will soon be a 1080p camera, i think it too looks very nice! 1080 @ 30 fps 720 @ 60 fps and if understand the mail correct i got this morning, you can (soon) mount a filter if you need. perhaps more wideangle? the quality seems good http://www.vholdr.com/contourhd/videos and the much lower profile of the ContourHD compared to the GoPro makes the choise easy... well for now

    how many close calls have you guys had? none small airplane? but when i think of it, you could actually use it as benefit. freeflyers can exit sooner (before the LZ) and not drift as much as belly flyers. so if only belly flyers give enough seperation the last jumper wont be as far from the LZ. smart but very risky.

    heres the stuff you are talking about: http://mypages.iit.edu/~kallend/skydive/ its the Downloadable freefall modeling program for Windows that can simulate a jump. look at the attached picture and you will see the result. i also suggest reading the powerpoint presentation. by the time i found out you guys were jumping it was too late to drive out there. i had a feeling there was jumping going on when i was driving home from work since the weather was... almost good

    stow the breaks when you land in that way you wont forget and lines wont get twisted while carrying it i always cock my PC twice, once before bagging the canopy, and once when first linestow is done. the type of rig i use has 'two lines', kil-line and "bag-keeper" some rigs has a almost like softhousing where the kil-line is hidden in. the type that i have has a obvious problem, that you by misstake kil the PC while bagging or the line wraping around the canopy if PC is not coocked before bagging. the other type with the softhousing can jam while trying to cock it after bagging the canopy. that happend to me when i was packing a friends canopy, no harm was done since it didnt feel right when trying to cock the PC. so by cocking twice you might lose 10 seconds but it might also save you a repck

    you are correct. i always make sure the new freefliers exit first when im on the load because of the risk you mention. if you cant hold a sit from exit to deployment i think you should be considered as a belly flier. also new freefliers are so focused on maintaining the sit that they might forget to look up or down for other jumpers.

    this is what i got from my pro-track on a jump. the numbers is supposed to be Mbar*10 ground pressure that day was 1.005 Mbar. i dont know how that would add up with all the other numbers but thtas what pro-track tells me. it logs 4 times per second, and the first two seconds (8 logs) is before exit. so it starts loging before i exit the plane. exit altitude was 3900 meters and deployment happend at 700 meters. 61 seconds freefall time. hope this helps you

    ask your teacher to explain why a tandempilot uses a drouge. doubble mass almost the same windresistance. you could show him this video for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjIlIWSbN7E (fastforward a minute) it clearly shows tandem/drouge and other skydivers without a drouge having the same fallrate

    Europe is not a country. all countrys have differnt rules. where in europe are you going to move? it would help alot if we knew what country you are moving to.

    when we are talking about those smal cameras anyway, i have a smal question. since the size of Go-pro and other bullitcameras are so smal do you really need a cutaway on the helmet? they are usually mounted with tape or a strap. it looks like the cameras will fall off quicker than you can cut the helmet

    i dont think it has anything to do what people think of our sport, its what they dont know. most non-jumpers dont know anything about skydiving. they know we jump from a airplane and then.............. we land safely on the ground. they dont know anything about the freefall or the risks in the sport. i think some duct tape could make that dress safe

    sounds like a cool thing to have. i think the biggest problem is geting it to work in the plane. There are GPSloggers that works for skydiving but the comon problem is the airplaneride. is it really the laws that say its illigal to use a phone in flight? or is it just airline policys? at our dropzone, most of us has our phones with us. and i think most skydivers do. i think you could just visit a nearby DZ and ask someone to wear a phone if you want to try it.

    I have been on the webpage but it doesnt say anything about what im asking. Not even in the manual. And i dont feel like paying €60 just to find out whether or not the software has a export freefall function
  23. Hellis
    Hello! I just finnished my litle project i have been working on for a while. It uses the freefallprofile you can export from Jumptrack. Does Paralog also have this feature? That you can export the raw data of the jump to a text file as time, altitude, speed? I figured, if Paralog also has this feature i could make it compatible for that too. So, could someone please upload a sample-file (if it works) for me to have a look at? What kind of settings do you have in Paralog? feet/sec miles/hour meters/sec km/hours ? I would like one file for each of those settings, so i could see the diffrence. It doesnt have to be the same jump. In jumptrack, the SAS-speed "stops" at deployment, i assume its the same with Paralog. If the SAS-speed stops, i need the TAS-speed. Im really thankfull if anyone could help me out with this! I attached a file of the raw data i get from Jumptrack. EDIT: I forgot, the jumps need 'some' freefall, so extremely short hop-n-pops wont work.

    You lost, wheres my money? as i said they dont list them as a product. i got a pm from a very nice person that will send me some cords.
  25. Hellis
    My favorite pull-up cord broke a few days ago and now i have to use the normal ones that are crap. i need help with finding where i can buy these cords or simular cords. it feels like they are made of cotton and are soft. i have looked at uptvectors page but they dont list them as a product. anyone that knows where i can find them?
