  1. Buy a old 8mm camcorder that plays the tapes. Then transfer them to Mini DV then to computer, then to DVD. Thats how I transferred all my tapes. That was the most inexpensive way.
  2. Here is the gopro set up that Gopro will market as there HD 3D set up. Not sure when it's coming out....
  3. I don't think you need a box; but you will need to ensure the screen doesn't open. I use a small strap with a 1/2 buckle....
  4. I was able to reuse a mount by using steam to get it off. I had a shark steamer which put out high pressure steam and it came off easy and the nice thing was that after it dried I remounted it in a different spot with no worries of it breaking loose....
  5. I've used them. They work best with snowboard helmets. Nice fit and allows the goggles to be streamline with the helmet;no drag.........I would still be using them if they hadn't been stolen.
  6. Try flying steeper; legs wider for stability and look back between your legs. You will feel like you are too steep but go with it. Hug that beach ball...........

    Traveling with Gear

    Definately Carry it on. Airlines lose luggage all the time. Something I learned the hard way. I missed out on 2 days of jumping in Norway while waiting for my gear.
  10. Thanks for everyones best wishes, I'm home walking around in pain and in a brace.(8-10 weeks) Fracture of T7 with no surgery required and no other injuries. Just let you know how it came to be. It was going to be exit practice for big wall jumps for future prodigy flights. I had in recent past been doing alot of sub teminal tracking jumps from a local in just my tracking pants and jacket. During this BD practice wingsuit exit jump I made a stupid decision to fly the wingsuit longer than planned while in mid flight (Not planning to pull lower at this point). Got it flying forward quickly got me excited to fly it a bit using depth perception as my warning buzzer; It certainly changes quite a bit in a wingsuit. Anyways as I reached for my pilot chute ground rush came back fast. I thought I was dead....... Why I had to push it I can't explain. I happy to be alive. Time to step back and take a break for a while re-evaluate my responsibilities to my family and friends. P.S. I am truly sorry if in any way Iv'e cast a shadow on what has allways been a wonderfull event that my family and I have enjoyed over the years. Thanks for the support Will

    Canopy size

    I weigh 203lbs and jump a 310 ace. The 310 is great. I do believe that the 310 ace is sized differently than the flik (when sizing; the stabilizers are included in the calculation on the ace). What is the 310 ace comparable in the flik? May be someone can verify the comparable..... Will
  13. Flimmi, Just so you know; I did see him pick up the can and dispose of in a trash can. It was just a joke. I'm sure you realized that. At least it brought up a very important issue. Something that I hope everyone remembers when climbing to exit points. That is "not to litter", cigarette buts included. I also didn't see the need for the sarcatsic comment at the end. Matts one hell of a good guy Will
  14. Rent a car or van depending on the group size. Check out Amigos car rental online. Make sure it's a desiel; better mpg. Do a round trip returning the vehicle to the same airport you arrived at. Europe is smaller compared to the States millage wise. So getting around is no big deal. A van is the way to go....... Will
