  1. dude!! You are fricken sooo right!! I sucked pretty bad then realized that I was wearing clear goggles - I got some red ones, then I fricken kicked ass!!! Why stop there, I thought. I watched some pros and noticed that the ones that wore sunglasses were even better, so I switch the goggles for sunglasses and my skills grew once again. Then , I heard that chuck taylors(shoes) had freefly skill enhancing properties so I picked some up. Let me tell you, the difference is night and day - I cant believe that I could even stay on my head before I had chucks - simply amazing Vid "stons fal, evrysing fals, but doesnt on purpos change its flite pas an positioning..."

  3. Plus, freefly suit looks cooler - and we know that's one of the most important things Vid "stons fal, evrysing fals, but doesnt on purpos change its flite pas an positioning..."
  4. I used too much ass in my last post . Vid "stons fal, evrysing fals, but doesnt on purpos change its flite pas an positioning..."
  5. I've had coaching from some badass flyers and out of all of them havent experienced any kind of ego shit after meeting them - ah, there's the key. Sometimes people LOOK like they may have an ego or something, and someone will just say, "that guy is a dick" without even meeting them. Then, buddy tells his friends, and they tell their friends, blah blah blah - I've been guilty of it myself. But after meeting and jumping with the few people that I initially thought were asses, I realized that I was the ass for making the assumption before even meeting them myself. I'm not saying that asses dont exists, but of the 5 or so world class flyers that I have jumped with, all were super cool, and taught me loads of stuff. So, as far as the slots paid and 30 bucks, it's totally worth it Vid "stons fal, evrysing fals, but doesnt on purpos change its flite pas an positioning..."
  6. >>Great picture >What is the exact name of your Sigma 15 mm Fish Eye lens, and how much does such a lens app. cost?
  7. for freefall I use the sigma EX 15mm fisheye and I get great results. It's not as fisheyeish as one might think when mounted on DSLR. Pretty good price too. For ground work right now I am using canon 28-135 IS, and canon 75 - 300. Here's a shot using the sigma 15mm on my 10D: http://www.cool-points.com/dean Vid "stons fal, evrysing fals, but doesnt on purpos change its flite pas an positioning..."
  8. >>In regards to marginalizing Olav’s influence/control, he completely dumped his AD system over hear and moved to Europe.
  9. what was the problem? Were there issues with exporting? I had those problems and tried for over a year to figure them out. On win 98, premiere would export perfect.once I installed XP it wouldnt. The wierd thing was, it would work flawlessly on my laptop which had XP installed too. It has something to do with the chipset on the MOBO. Systems with VIA chipsets dont work well with XP and premiere (like my computer that didnt work). intel chipset (like my laptop) work flawlessly. Ofcourse this could not even be remotely close to the problems that you've been having and I just blabbed for nothing. .
