    The only reason I was looking at these particular canopies, was because these are just a few of the ones offered for sale at this particular time at my local dropzone.

    If you have a better canopy in mind, please let me know. I'm open to all suggestions and advice.



    Here's a hint for you
    When the Stiletto first came onto the market, it's reported that there was a 1000 jump requirement to buy it.

    The canopy has not changed since that time. the selling practices have.

    I jump a 135 stiletto, I down sized from a hornet 150 when i had 400 jumps, I STILL jump the stiletto and i have almost 1200 jumps now.

    Dont be in such a hurry to go elliptical, try a Sabre 2 135 or a Pilot 132,

    >I saw a King of the Hill episode about a gay rodeo, and then found out there are a
    >bunch of them. Why?

    I'm guessing the same reason there are women's sporting events, or gay bigways in skydiving.




    How does that even remotely answer the question:D:D.

    Me, I don’t know, maybe they feel that on the main circuit, they as riders etc.. cant be themselves.
    The macho image of the rodeo scene may not be very Gay friendly, fear of harassment or vilification might be a contributing factor.

    But never been to one, they're not that common here so don’t really have a answer.

    Im mostly after a gym player.
    I already have an iPhone 3 (size wise it's not as practical)
    i'd like a little versitility but my priority is for gym tunes, or the like



    I can't see how you could go wrong with either the iPod Shuffle or Nano.

    Is it JUST the brand you dislike? The technology, ease of use and design is damn near bulletproof and for something you just clip on and work out with . . . seriously . . . near perfect.


    Because the nano is $170 for a 8 gig



    Well, $150, but the 2 gig one is only $50.

    I doubt you're going to find something in that price range that's as easy to use and well built.


    It's $170, i dont live in the USA

  8. what are your recomendations for personal mobile media players that are not iPod products (they are very expensive and i can not cop to that just for a brand name).

    around the 8 gig range prefered.

    Welcome to my world. 4 days....from the post I made in the "ladies room" where I stated I was called "The best husband ever" ( i was just doing what I thought was right as a husband and a dude) to 4 days later get a text message of "i want a divorce"

    Sorry didn't mean to be a total downer.

    yes you did, it's what you do.

    we also only have your very biased one side of the story, and it seems to be stuck on repeat.
    GET THE FUCK OVER IT, and move on.
    One way to start moving on is to STOP labouring it.

    Maybe a track dive stops being a track dive when you make a website about it and start offering to issue instructors licenses in track dives for a fee.



    For a seemingly intelligent guy Simon, you appear to have a very narrow view of things here.

    No one is disputing that ANY jump where you are translating across the sky/ground is a tracking jump. (You are after all tracking a path through the sky)

    But under the UMBRELLA of tracking different types/styles have been developed, which for communications sake, have also developed their own terminology in other parts of the world.
    Flat tracking with a bunch of guys in rel suits and booties, is considerably different to stacking an angled track, and or tracing.
    Yes they are all moving ACROSS the ground so they are all Tracking, but they are not the all same thing and they require different levels of skill to conduct them safely and in a controlled manner.

    >No one asked for a "best idea"

    "What's the best way to measure that someone is mentally ready to jump with a camera?"

    >you are back peddling again.

    Nope. If they are proficient in the discipline they wish to film, that is a good sign they are ready.




    I'm not trying to "change" your opinion,
    I'm merely illustrating that it's wrong, ineffective and stupid overkill.

    Yep. And for sure, people want to do tandem camera and make money skydiving as soon as they possibly can. As we've seen that's not always the best idea.



    No one asked for a "best idea" you are back peddling again. go back and read your original post that i replied to.

    We dont live in the ideal world and it's asinine to think otherwise.

    >Bull shit, the VAST majority of tandem camera flyers I know do NOT throw
    >drogues and all them are very accomplished camera flyers.

    Yep. And they'd be better still if they were tandem masters.

    >as to knowledge of what to expect, you dont need to have flown tandem
    >or turned a dozen points in time to learn the requirements of flying
    >camera for either discipline .

    True. But if you are newer jumper trying to prove you are ready, they are excellent examples that you are.

    Nowadays newer jumpers do 150 jumps, often a series of bad bigways and solos, stick a camera on their heads and consider themselves ready to do video. They're not. Actually learning to do the discipline they are trying to video would be better preparation than 150 bad bigways and solos.


    I disagree and you are back-pedling from your original assertion.
    How many 150-300 jump tandem masters do you know.
    Some one that has dedicated the time and effort into learning to lfy camera well and has 300-400 jumps can well do a very good job of flying tandem camera.
    Here in OZ most DZ wont let you touch a tandem rig without , near 1000 jumps, that a bloody long time to wait to fly tandem camera.

    Like i said your guide is OVERKILL

    >Bollocks, that measure is OVERKILL

    If you can't even do the discipline you are trying to video, it might make sense to get a bit better at that discipline before trying to complicate things by adding a camera to your head. And given that we just had a low experienced cameraperson killed trying to get back to video a tandem - I don't think it's all that unreasonable. Might some people be able to start before that? Probably. Is it a good idea for everyone to do camera at 200 jumps? Definitely not.

    Sounds pretty good to me actually. Knowledge of what to expect (good and bad) on a certain type of skydive, and how not to endanger the people on it seem pretty critical prior to trying to film it.




    Bull shit, the VAST majority of tandem camera flyers I know do NOT throw drogues and all them are very accomplished camera flyers.

    as to knowledge of what to expect, you dont need to have flown tandem or turned a dozen points in time to learn the requirements of flying camera for either discipline .

    There are many fatalities caused by (often sober) speeding drivers. Speed was apparently a factor in this case, in addition to alcohol.



    Speeding has it's risks. But speed by itself is not the evil doer.

    - Speeding on a race track, has it's risks. But as long as people know what they are doing, speed can easily be managed in the controlled environment. What makes speeding on a race track manageable is it's predictability.

    - Speeding in the public roads has it's risks, risks much higher than speeding on a race track, because the predictability is lost. Excessive speeding on the public roads should never be tolerated.

    - Speeding after consuming alcohol regardless of whether this speeding is on the public roads or a race track is just dumb. Of course speeding on a race track after consuming alcohol is pretty much unheard of. Sorry but Ryan Dunn showed us exactly what a Jackass he really was when he got behind the wheel of his GT3 after consuming alcohol.

    BTW ... it appears that Mr Dunn actually had experience driving his GT3 on race tracks, so it's not like he did not know how to handle such a powerful car. It was the alcohol that killed him and his passenger. :S


    Biggest load of car related bollocks posted thus far.

    Lets see who can better it.

    I really just think that bonfire has a group that just knee jerks to bad mouth anyone attractive or fit. it's sad


    bullshit attractive is subjective i think "X" is attractive, someone else thinks"Y" is.
    Personally i prefer a look that does not show a defined skeletal system, particularly around the ribs, hips and the AC joint area.

    I like softer curves around the shoulders and hips. It's my preference if you dont prefer that, fine.

    Thin does not equate to "fit" anymore than curvy equates to unfit.
