base704 0 #1 December 23, 2002 Check out this short video of some of the highlights from last year [www.rodriguezbrothers.com/Videopage.htm] scroll down to base by blair, lemme know what you think, my editing sucks and none of the jumps were actually in Mexico.You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

mountainman 0 #3 December 24, 2002 What kind of download speeds are you guys getting? I'm getting about 6kbps. A bit too slow for a 125MB file. LOLhttp://www.brandonandlaura.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyFlyer 0 #4 December 24, 2002 It took awhile to load but the jump in the rock quarry, dodging the ledges, is pretty cool. Nice video. Baxter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 25 #6 December 25, 2002 There is a black canopy in the video, which appears to have a ZP foreskin. It's in the first "Rigger Mortis" shot, and I believe I saw it again in some of the legal span footage. I was just looking at the pressurization pattern. Is that canopy an Ace or a Blackjack (assuming I've correctly identified the topskin composition)? Or something else entirely (if I haven't)?-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #8 December 25, 2002 That video rocked! I liked the use of colours, good choon too. That A jump with the camera mounted backwards was extremely cool! Only thing I didn't like was when you'd see a guy jump, then it was edited so you wouldn't see him pull (went straight to the next jump). I like to see the canopies come out...

Dd0g 0 #11 December 26, 2002 Good video! The quarry static line is quite impressive - there are times when opening surge can be one's best friend. There's good footage in there (during several of the TF jumps) of what happens with non-vented pilot chutes. Violent oscillation- it is easy to see from this video why apex-mounted PCs are (or should be) absolutely standard gear for any jump where there is object strike potential. If you are wondering about vented PCs, watch this video and it will help to lay out the convincing case for this technology as a major improvement in BASE gear.

base704 0 #13 December 31, 2002 I understand the oscillating p/c theory, but can't see where that comes in to play here...I didn't see any off headings that i would attribute to p/c performanceYou can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

PhreeZone 15 #14 December 31, 2002 It looks like on the one bridge jump the PC rotates and the canopy turns coming off the back in the same direction as the spinning PC.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #16 January 5, 2003 Time code starting 1:58-2:03., The PC is spinning counterclockwise and the canopy opens to the left by 90 degrees. It took frame by frame for me to catch it, but as the canopy is coming out its being spun by the PC.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
