pchapman 261 #177 June 6, 2013 raveninca Sorry but your wrong as far as Canada goes...here is a direct quote from our technically recommendations "Parachutists, possessing at least a C CoP, Sorry, but that did actually change to a B CoP some years back. (4 or 5??) I'm staying out of the debate at the moment, but it does mean one can get someone in Canada with 50 jumps legally jumping a camera, good or bad. Individual dropzones may set standards above that minimum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #183 June 6, 2013 -Joey- At least someone has a sense of humor. Y'know if you ever do meet Bryan Burke, you'll find him to be fucking hilarious. Dry as a bone, but hilarious. But he does have a low tolerance for people who won't listen, even though he's probably got more data, well-analyzed, than anyone in this sport (including deaths, injuries, and close calls). But since you've already decided you don't like him, guess that's your loss. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Amazon 7 #189 June 6, 2013 -Joey- Technology won't come and go; technology is here to stay :) Best to embrace it, and not fear it. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4401254;#4401254 Yup.. and based on your thread about what the smallest canopy you could get away with jumping with zip for jump experience..and your desire to be just like Andy but without the many thousands of jumps he has and EARNED all that experience. Oh and by the way Jumptown or Houston...and your escape to "freedom"...... all that freedom you are seeking.... I wish I could watch that shit...I will lay odds that the canopy technology is gonna eat your lunch because you have no respect for it.

Ron 7 #192 June 6, 2013 QuoteSkycatcher, no amount of logic will convince people who have made up their minds about something based on irrational thinking The same exact thing we say about you. Still waiting for you to provide your data "Provide your data to back that up. How many US DZ's allow a GoPro at 50 jumps vs how many make you wait till 100 or 200? " Put up, or shut up. Anyone else read his comment on 'buying skydiving'?!?!!?? I am starting to think this guy is not even off student status.

davelepka 4 #193 June 6, 2013 QuoteAnd how many videos are there on YouTube of students videoing their training and their solo flights? Are they being unreasonably distracted by the camera(s)? There's a big difference between mounting a camera and turning it on before an activity begins, and operating and aiming a camera during the actual activity. A student pilot can mount and activate the camera before doing anything having to do with flying the airplane. They can then move into conducting a flight, to include the use of checklists, without involving the camera to any degree. It's a 'passive' use of a camera, and truth be told if a student/newbie wanted to mount a camera to the door/wing of an aircraft to film their exits, and did mounted and activated the camera before gearing up, I would not have a problem with that (of course, provided that the mounting was safe and not damaging to the aircraft). However, jumping a camera is another story. It requires direct interaction with the camera during the gear up, ride to altitude, and during the actual skydive/canopy flight. That's the instance where you need to have a good grasp of the basic skills/procedures in those areas before adding another skill/procedure to the mix. The former are survival skills that you need to live through a jump, the latter is an 'entertainment' device that is not needed or required for making a skydive, so you can see why the basic skills need to come first, and the 'fluff' comes later.

syr 0 #195 June 6, 2013 Dears "self defined Olds" your advices and analisys, as experienced skydivers, are my daily food. This is my first post here and it's just to say you thanks. As a noob in the "sport" I feed myself with your comments here and in Incident forum almost every day, looking for any kind of detail I miss in my own skydiving experience. Some of them have already been usefull..... other I hope will never be, but...please, Do Not stop arguing on Anything, too many fresh minds need your "imprinting" to try to get their ways safer than they think them already are. Even if there are no post from us, we need a guide and a line of thought for a "sport" that allows to many guys kill them selves for superficiality and blindness towards hidden dangers. Some of your usernames have gained my respect built by lots of mind-opener and conservative posts, not always caught at the first read. Thanks you all to make My Skydive Safer. :) I'm sorry, May be I choose the wrong thread to say that, but here I read you tired to reply. It's ALWAYS helpful.

billvon 2,400 #197 June 6, 2013 >So I take it you're against having first-timers knowingly signing their rights away then, >since they clearly aren't capable of understanding the risks? Nope. They sign their rights away AND they are under direct and immediate supervision so they can't do anything really stupid. As they gain experience they get more and more freedom to screw up.

For the same price at which I can buy skydiving at Eloy, I can buy skydiving with a side of freedom elsewhere. That's it. You woke me up. Until now, I hadn't realized how oppressed I was. I'm, starting a Occupy Eloy movement to demand more freedom! Occupy Eloy's manifesto main goal will be to allow us to do more than 180s... (damm, we can already)... And have multiple tracking groups per planes. Our TWO main goals will be bigger turns, and more tracking groups (damm... again, we can do both already)... And wingsuiting. Three of our major goals are bigger turns, more tracking, and wingsuiting.... DAMMMMMIT! OK.. I just want beer.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
