Trying to find a reliable and affordable audible. Was wondering what the difference in the Solo and Solo II are?

Just give them a call! I'm sure they can work something out for ya. If you want to do a tandem, I'm sure Aaron might be able to handle you. He would be able to do your AFF for sure.

The camera isn't really a problem. There are DZ's that allow GoPros at 50 jumps with B license. USPA just makes recommendations. But at a smaller DZ, everyone knows each other and everyone knows what you are capable of, so they often bend the rules for some people if they know they can handle it. Low exit and high wing loading, is a problem. Speak to him personally, maybe tell him stories you've heard of all the broken people in wheelchairs. If that doesn't work, then speak to a staff member and express your concern for this persons safety.

I spend around $80 a month on food and the rest goes straight to skydiving :P I'm not addicted...It's just really the only thing that keeps me a sane person.

Really? Don't show minimum?? My Alti-track shows Avg, Max, Min. From the sounds of it I'd be best with a Viso II for freefly friendly visual, Solo II for audible reminder, and flysight for Data.

I'm currently using Jumptrack with my Alti-track for the data. I was looking at the Pro-Track and It doesn't look like it has a port to hook it up to a computer with so I'm not sure how it can read the data from it. I think all the data and graphs that I get from my Alti-track is bad because it's just encourage more tracking jumps, and from what everyone is teaching me, I need to focus more on all around skydiving skills in order to become a better wingsuit pilot. So, the Viso II, as long as it shows Min and Max speed as well as freefall time, then I'll be happy. Playback would be even greater. Down the road I could always get a flysight and Paralog for more accurate data.

GoPro just has an all around terrible physical design for skydiving.

I don't jump with goggles... ...because I wear a full-face

Can someone post an image of the playback screen of the Viso II? I'd like to know what information it shows. Would like to do a Pro-Track+Viso II combo, but if the Viso shows the data I'm looking for the Pro-Track might not be needed.

Yes. Shoe laces are dangerous.

Isn't this why they invented the "Pro Rating"?

Not much you can do to prepare. Just keep yourself healthy and get a good rest before going. You could study the SIM manual if you wanted... http://www.uspa.org/SIM.aspx PDF version of the SIM: http://www.uspa.org/Portals/0/Downloads/Man_SIM_2012.pdf

They are calculated with really, really big balls.

If you can get out to Lodi, the prices are: $15 for jump ticket to 13,000 $650 for 50 jump tickets ($13/ea) $35 for jump ticket and gear rental Source

Alti-Track was used.

The reasoning I ask, is because normally in a track I can get to a good 82mph vertical speed with the lowest being 79 and an average of 86. But last weekend it was a very cold day and I had one heck of a tailwind pushing me along and yet I couldn't fall slower then 95mph. It confused me...still is...

Will you fall slower in hot or cold air? Cold air is more dense then hot air, so you think you would fall slower due to the drag on the higher density. But at the same time, hot air rises and cold air descends... So which is it?

Camera guy had his on too(Would be died if he didn't) It's just the guy who can't arch's went off first.

The only answer to this video is: Some people should stick to gholf.

Oh, it definitely took place. Just think its rather odd for this guy to be grinning and then when it's time to shoot he puts his game face on as if they guy has been taught in the art of acting.

Here's a question, Why is one of the victims fathers laughing...he looks like an actor to me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=urrRcgB581w confusing...

Portugal legalized all drugs and their drug usage dropped significantly. I feel the need to add this somewhere. "i know its cliche, but do you remember the Middle East? do you even care, do you wonder, do you feel at least worried about how our troops are pulling through it? do you ever get to thinking about these bullied students? do you... do you ever consider the homeless man that's sleeping under bridges every December its freezing cold and all he wants is just a sweater or dinner but not a single one of us can seem to ever remember too busy caught up in the media frenzy, when a problem child, gets a gun and goes Gangnam Style" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziRMehYY7TE

And this...is why I jump out...

Honestly, although I am against it, I wish they would ban guns, cause then a bunch of states would secede and it would be the 1860's all over again! Wouldn't that be fun!? :D I'll be on the side with the guns.
