pull beep is 2500. i have 2 and they are FAR from crap. One I've had for 10 years. Never a problem finding batteries (you can get them at a just about any grocery store) and you really don't need a manuel to set it....or ask a buddy "how do I set this again?". my pics & stuff!

here's mine....a pic I took of a buddy doing his 170+ tandem (yes, the passenger). And I have 2 screens, that's why it looks odd. my pics & stuff!

my true home DZ.....I am saddened with you all. my pics & stuff!

agree'd with all he said. Here's a shot of me backtracking. Like the previous guy said, keeping your head back helps....NOT like I'm doing geeking the camera. my pics & stuff!

hate to say it but solo head down is a very bad idea....UNLESS you absolutely know you are facing 90 degrees off the line of flight (or you are already proficient in flying head down). It's very common to 'think' you are head down, but in reality, your just tracking like a mother fucker and putting others in danger. Ease into it, practice sit to head and then right back to sit. You're gonna need this skill anyway. my pics & stuff!

Thanx man! Here's some more....not so recent. This first one is a long lost friend. The last one are friends that we all would like to get closer to! my pics & stuff!

Here's some recent shots. my pics & stuff!

i think the wider version would make the missile look like an ant. I was totally thinking of shooting a much larger lens so the perspective makes the missle look much bigger.....but it's a trade off. Your aim needs to be spot on. AND... you need to be able to fly with the subject centered AND the missile in the back ground all while keeping that much larger distance from the subject....much more 3D flying especially with the missile moving....good luck. my pics & stuff!

pretty much use it all the time EXCEPT with this big ass lens that's soo wide, it's like looking through a pipe. With it on, the 'pipe' appears to float around, so I shut it off. here' an example of the lens, it's the first vid 'pond toe-drag' http://www.linestretch.net/videos.htm my pics & stuff!

how about pinnacle? my pics & stuff!

I had it in my resume.....only cuz if I didn't put anything down, there would have been a 4+ year blank spot. But I put it down that I worked at skydive bla bla for this point of time and so on....just like a regular job. For job description, then put down what you did. No need so tell everyone you skydive as if your trying to get laid, be professional. my pics & stuff!

we would just get the set from gyro(?) and then 75 smackers to put it on.....using grandma's singer. my pics & stuff!

1300 sounds like a lot to me. Keep looking on Ebay, you'll eventually find something there. AND.....I also agree that you should WAIT! Sit back, take a breath and DON'T rush into this. my pics & stuff!

it's possible that while driving, you can open/close a window and have very quick change of pressure....or turn on/off the vent which can do the same. my pics & stuff!

try this...it's an old post but I have instructions on how to make it w/ pics. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1768092#1768092 my pics & stuff!

Okee Dokee, the pics are up! I'll try to get some video up in the next few days. thanx again everyone....and thanx mother nature!!! my pics & stuff!

It was a GREAT weekend. The weather actually didn't go to shit and there were a ton of jumps. I'll have my pics posted in a day or two....so check back. JJ my pics & stuff!

I'll like be there and stuff. my pics & stuff!

if it's anything like the tokina 17mm i wasted money on....then it's a piece. The quality of the lens was what I paid for I guess, and the clarity of the shots that came from it sucks. my pics & stuff!

bummed my brotha. Thanx for your friendship. my pics & stuff!

the 3rd one is awesome. You can see her mouth and nose....of most of all, you can see her boobs. my pics & stuff!

good job dude. Pretty freaky finding out about that first one huh. I have 19 that I know of....4 of them on me. Cheap ass here too. The only thing I did was repack my reserve w/o charging. my pics & stuff!

ummmm, what does that have to do anything? my pics & stuff!

here's a couple of bent ones. I contacted RWS ('04) and they were pretty good about sending the newer 11ga pins (or maybe the old ones were 11 and new ones were 10ga). They were a beotch to get through the loop, even with a 1,000lbs spectra pullup cord. my pics & stuff!

ok, here's one....with a few that may look familiar. my pics & stuff!
