I am speechless. Brooke was amazing. This one hits home, hard. Unfathomable. My heart, thoughts and condolences to everyone. Naomi, Laura, Katie... Brooke helped me walk again. Without her, I don't know if I'd be back in the good health that I am. She, and Katie, tied balloons to the rod she got out of my leg, and left it on my lap for when I woke up. I smiled and cried. I've never been able to fully convey my gratitude, especially not now. She had a huge passion for her friends, for helping people, and for skydiving... Blue Skies Brooke, we will miss you. Tremendously. Love Karen http://www.exitshot.com

Thank you. I'll always be Valkyrie to you... http://www.exitshot.com

I'd yank the TI's rating. Then ban the cameraguy from tandems. http://www.exitshot.com

The stick on mount is bomb. I tried peeling one off my helmet and couldn't do it with my bare hands. I'm not worried about it falling off in freefall. The mount looks snaggie, yeah, but I do think a line snag would rip it off. Which, if that were to ever happen, would be my own $200 punishment for not deploying stable.

drogue wouldn't release/container lock. TI tried both orange and blue. Drogue released and container opened fine on ground. TI said full gear check was done prior to jump. We'll never know exactly what caused this in freefall. Video had backed away for opening shot and is too far away to see anything. I have over 1000 jumps on perris tandem gear, never had this problem. He landed the reserve safely.

Yeah but you liked M.A.S.H. didn't you? http://www.exitshot.com

Then go and learn something. Have an open mind. Is that too much to ask? http://www.exitshot.com

Everyone should see it. It's one of the best films I've ever seen. Really, really well done. (It's a documentary/biography/true story of Harvey Milk, starring Sean Penn.) http://www.milkmovie.co.uk/ http://www.exitshot.com

Xaos. I have two 27-cells. Love them. Jump camera all the time. The 21's are even better for camera. I kept an old 21-cell for wingsuit jumps. http://www.exitshot.com

What arguments in the Bible against Gay marriage...? Read this: http://www.newsweek.com/id/172653?gt1=43002 I'll be back... off to go sacrifice a goat... (kidding of course) http://www.exitshot.com

I've been jumping one for a week or so just to try it out. I got it for multiple sports use, and so far have skydived with it and mtn biked with it. It's lighter than an altimeter. I rigged up a hand mount for the "Wide", as GoPro doesn't have the wrist strap for the wide version yet. I'm planning on modifying the case to mount on the front of an open face helmet, a bit less protruding than the mount it's built for now. It would be great for debreifing AFF if I can mount it the way I hope. I'm quite pleased with the results. I have a few of the videos posted on my facebook if any friends want to see. They're raw footage though, so a bit rough. Not high res by any means, but the picture quality is better than one would expect from something that looks like a crackerjack box toy. It's super easy to use. Great for quick uploading to the web. If anyone is in Perris, find me and I'll show you how it works. I'm looking forward to more various mounting options and cases... So, GoPro, what's on the horizon? Thanks! Karen http://www.exitshot.com

This, actually, is a good directive imho. http://www.exitshot.com

i just don't believe that. humans will always find something to fight about. Yes... Notice I did not say purged of, only less of. Sadly, many humans have a need for conflict and will find/create it somewhere. http://www.exitshot.com

This is so true... I was just talking to a friend about this last night. Particularly about the Prop 8 battle, and about the Bible Belt here in certain parts of SoCal... (OC & Tem/Mur) And I said, "Can you imagine our world withOUT religion...?" So much less conflict, less war, less arguing, less fear, less hypocrisy, less angst, less guilt, less insecurity, less psychoses, less elitism... Beyond COEXIST. Just Exist.

Democrats are more like Jesus than Republicans Just a thought...

(Not replying to anyone in particular... and forgive me as I have not kept up on reading all 15 pages of my thread i started) This is a very interesting read though: http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20081114/cm_csm/yroosevelt;_ylt=AiY8H0LUcDPaqNjPAxvDghSs0NUE http://www.exitshot.com

I know I rarely pay attention to the stolen gear listings here, so I'm hoping everyone will take notice. Take a moment and read the stolen gear listings here: http://www.dropzone.com/stolen/ A newly licensed Perris jumper just recently had his brand new rig stolen from his trunk. It's a Mirage with "Chip" on the mudflap. It's a beautiful rig and he only got 10 jumps on it before it was stolen. Here's hoping the laws of the universe bring the rig back to Chip... http://www.exitshot.com

This is SO true. Any American denying this needs to open their eyes. http://www.exitshot.com

Might as well put this out there.... (Edit to note, NADER is with GONZALEZ, but my sheet got cut off and I just copied what I tried to make out the name to be... my bad) http://www.exitshot.com

That's cause your brain is big cause you're so SMRT! http://www.exitshot.com

Hey Jason! Good to see you on here. I rarely get into Speakers Corner, but I am very passionate about certain things in this election, as you can tell. So, thanks for the support. Go Vote! Karen http://www.exitshot.com
