Ssshhh! Be quiet. We just got rid of him. We're hopeing he falls in love with a Swedish Moose and stays for a while! I looked into the moose thing, but they donät have those here. They have elk. But, they are pretty cute. Wenät to the Lûpkoping McDonaldäs last night on deBaräs insistence (thanks Gamilla). These people give up maybe 5 ice cubes for a glass of soda, and even then they look at you like youäre weird. If you donät want lettuce (Chris is a vegetable-free zone) you ask for "no salad". Day 5 begins.

Dude, you are the master. Nobody should be able to backfly with a vertical speed of 50. Bollocks. Brilliant pics.

Get used to it Yank Has Vicky made her 1K jump yet? Vicky did 999 with Kate Cooper just a little while ago, 1000 is next. Iäd like to go along, but the weather is just perfect today and Iäm having trouble getting on loads as second camera. My shoulders are roasted from trying to keep up with these guys in Birdman, so Iäm sticking to camera suit today. We will have a birdman record slot perfect formation before the week is over for sure. Search for Andy Ford's site and check out the pictures. Freaking awesome. Henri of Wings ambused me with Salmiaki last night. Holy Cow. They have a new kind thatäs cola flavored instead of licorice. Hey, Bonnie? Iäm a lowly camera flier, we donät get access to the sauna, and I havenät made it in to town except for the first day.

Happy birthday, Roy! I have 41 in a few weeks, I guess I should get around to joining.
-
I ainät drunk yet, amigo, but Iäm enroute. These keyboards are vierd. The @ key has itäs own little Alt gr key to get to. Did I mention that it never gets dark here? Cheers out!

Guy Wright is sitting next to me posting e-mail. Ha. Beer is REALLY expensive here. REALLY. Like Swedes drive to Germany to get it expensive. I donät have a car. Iäm a good driver. K-Mart clothes suck.

Which wide angle lens should I get?
Deuce replied to skydivingdutch's topic in Photography and Video
The Royal .3 You can zoom it to about a .6 if you are doing tandems or RW. Oh, Iäm currently using mine out of a Hercules in Sweden, if you didnät know. Ha! It never gets dark here! Bwahahahaha! -
Monkey, Andy lent the helmet to his buddy Andy, who's wearing all the adverts. He flies wing on me on my right when I'm rabbit, which is all I'm good for with this astounding crew. Fordy got out of the RAF ealier this year and is doing the full time rigging-video god-skydiver thing. He still has the Kirk-chops thing going. The other Andy don't.
-
Yeah, I was there! HA!
-
Apparently the guy couldn't even get down from the Herc. I'd have to see it to believe anybody could outfly Jari in anything. Maybe he'll come out with us tomorrow. Today we nailed a slot-perfect 17 way with everybody in the video. Amazing stuff. Like I said, these guys are really, amazingly good fliers. I'm flying base with my cameras on backwards and they set the formation up behind and above my rabbit.' Bigger tomorrow.
-
Guys name is Andy, and he can keep formation like a Blue Angel despite the completely out of proportion dedication to his sponsors. Admit it. You'd wear the goofy shield if you could be here MonoUno, several people have asked me with trepidation what a Skymonkey is, and that they have heard of them. I tell them that I could enlighten them, but then I'd have to kill them. When they hear my accent they think I mean it. Vierd.
-
Yeah, I can even see him from here. He's sitting with Jari and John LeBlanc. I'm getting to film him in a half hour. Very cool.
-
OMG. I was so frustrated flying with these guys, as they were so much better than me, plus the freaking helmet. We have found an answer. And it is so freaking good. Watch the Bird-man.com site for pictures. Tomorrow we set the precedent. We are not sÄcking in Sweden!
-
Where the heck are you? Come say hi at the birdman tent! Who's organizing your group? By the way, freezing cold today and windy, but yesterday started out crappy too. We'll be jumping this afternoon...
-
Wilco. Lou, you gotta come next time!
-
We got 8 loads up yesterday. The freaking Herc is amazing. Iäv been with Jari and the birdmen. First, it is astounding to watch these guys dissappear ABOVE the tail when they get out. I mean, amazing. I got two jumps and didnät tumble either, but that thing is hauling, but the air is clean right off the middle of the ramp. Between my fat middle age carcass and my 6 kilo helmet Iäm struggling to be even level with these guys, but it still has been great fun. Remember to register ahead of time for the 2006 boogie, and be here!
-
I just me the Dutch contingent and the party is on in Sweden when the jumping isnät. Right now it isnät cause of cloud cover.
-
Weäre here (weird keyboard, eh?) Not jumping yet cause of the cloud deck. Iäm working with Jari on the Birdman rotation and I am completely sure these tall skinny Skandinavians are gonna fly me like a kite. Lotsa DZ.commers, here. Lots of folks who showed up but weren't registered are lurking slots. Cheers.
-
Well, we'll just have to see if we can't do something for your 1000th while you're there. Come see me or Lesley if you feel like it. Dibs on camera. People here keep telling me I have the coolest accent...
-
That's harsh! But no, my experience suggests that you really are all that bad! Vicki Wrongo, woman. You try herding moms and kids.
-
Holy shit, how wierd. I was going to cap on Remi for having to at least kiss the guy first in a french prison. Never leave stuff on internet cafe computers.... REmi, so far, Bath sucks.
-
Don't have the helmet pre-drilled for the L bracket so you can mount it just the way you like. D'oh! The only problem with mounting the hole higher is it will probably make it impossible to rotate the camera 90 degrees for portrait angle without putting the weight off to much to one side. I suggest jus putting the camera all the way forward. If you don't like it, I have another of those aluminum tops like mine, I think.
-
I'm wide open August 2,3,4, and 5.
-
Yeah, Schwede, I e-mailed as requested. The party can try my DZ.com addy, which I'll check now, or my Deucedad*(no spam)*at aol.com addy. I'm checking just about every day. Hey, Gareth? You forgot to add the "OI! ware's my wee little ones! Shite! Ware am I?!" Did that one for lunch. Steak and ale pie is amazingly good, and I was really surprised the walk up inside the Sir Walter Scot memorial isn't featured in the tourist guides. Just another reason to wander around on foot rather than do the guided thing, eh? The Holyrood Palace was nicely done, but WTF were they thinking when they put that Parliament building across from it. You want to start a conversation in Edinburgh? Ask ANY Scot about the fcuking parliament building. I know how much is cost, how much the alternatives cost, and that is was designed by a "fooking SPANIARD!" Off to Avon tomorrow. Cheers.

Caz, I know for a FACT that you have a t-shirt that identifies you as a skydiver! One VERY Go-Fast shirt!
