Reading a few posts on here regarding the CX7, has anyone be able to fix the problem with the Image shaking while filming head up freeflying. I have tried to fix it with changing a few settings but haven’t had any luck so far. As stated on other posts this thing surely isn’t scrap for head up?? Any help or info out there would be appreciated ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BASE 1029

I have from my biking days lots of Dainese gear, i tried to make use of the Dainese HPC back protector for my trip to Norway, but as the last poster said they can be really restrictive when you need to bang on a hard arch. Some guys out in Norway where using back protection without the fixed vertibrae style, which allows a bit more movement (planet knox etc) i would look around and try some out in the shop maybe with a rucksack on or something ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BASE 1029

Hi Jap, We had the exact same scenario last night on my first B also a 220 sl jump. i had ground crewed on a few B jumps prior i had seen the bridle extension used in the past and this functions well. Last night on an underconstruction B, attachment point for sl was to five feet back from the edge, then the edge of the building was quite sharp, we basically larks headed some long climbing sling to the bridle end at the PC attachment point and then attached the sl to the anchor point on the b. This allowed the pc to hang over the side. and removed the bridle issues you mentioned, if you can visualize what i mean? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BASE 1029

Hi there, I am due to make some terminal jumps in Norway this year and have have made most of my 30 jumps in the 1-5 second delay range and never made any jumps where i have had to track. I plan to obviously practice on skydives etc, but i am looking for peoples thoughts on the most efficient sub terminal / terminal base tracking position. I don't plan at this point to be using tracking or smoking pants.......except from my baggy freefly pants. Any big wall jumpers that can give helpful advice, I would really appreciate. . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BASE 1029

A couple of questions, Can anyone explain the tangible benefits of PC venting?, on the back of that question, if you put two same size pc,s made by the same manufacturer side by side, one vented the other non vented, would the vented one have a lesser pull force due to the venting? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BASE 1029

Tribal Mate, stop now, before you get yourself in any deeper, "low pulls and cut aways". please.

I will be over in the USA doing some skydives and also a FJC fairly around april time, my question is i will have skydiving insurance. BUT, Will i need base specific insurance, and is this possible to get?, if so could i get it in the US, or would i have to buy the policy in the UK, as im not a US resident. Thanks in advance Gaz

Thanks Tom, The only reason really i wanted to do a FJC in Australia is im in the country for a while, i also travel on to the USA after for around the same length of time (3 months) May, June, July ish. I just wanted a head start on Base before i get there. Im hindsight i will wait and do the course when i arrive in the US. Thanks for the advice.

Im due to be In Australia in 2004 and have for a long time wanted to get into base, i have over 500 Skydives and is i will be over in Oz, for three months wondered if a FJC can be done there. If so has anyone got any recommendations etc, website links or e-mail address, would be awesome. Thanks Guys
