ryanocerous 0 #2 January 31, 2007 Quote...much more profitable than the $50 or $60 per jump that parachute centers charge for taking solo parachutists up. I suppose they mean for students with rental gear and a coach? I think that would totally scare me away from the sport think it was that expensive... EEEEE!! oo gas is $2 now WOOT!

Remster 24 #3 January 31, 2007 QuoteThe camera was positioned just underneath the open hatch. Special considerations were taken to ensure the helmet, and skydiver to which the Hatch Cam was attached, were properly tethered for take off and landing.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #4 January 31, 2007 Exactly. The article really came off like someone who knows nothing about skydiving happened to read one issue of a magazine and do a book report on it, which is probably exactly what happened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #5 January 31, 2007 QuoteExactly. The article really came off like someone who knows nothing about skydiving happened to read one issue of a magazine and do a book report on it, which is probably exactly what happened. I think Skydiving magazine is much more interesting than Parachutist, but there are still occasional articles in it that perfectly meet the description above.

airtwardo 6 #6 January 31, 2007 ....and like anything in the general media: "If it bleeds ~ It Leads" Reviewing a publication like Skydiving must almost 'force' the writer to elaborate on the negative guts and gore and gloss over the many other positive and entertaining / en-lighting features in the mag. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolas 5 #7 February 1, 2007 I have just never gotten over the irony: Skydiving - Skydiving, BASE Jumping, Ground Launching. Parachutist - Skydiving only.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
