  1. Anyone know where I can get the "backdoor" for the early model Contour or Contour Roam? Nobody seems to stock them in store. The contour website doesn't seem to respond to international customers. They even advertise it as a $5 part but you can't order it from the website. And I have not found a retailer that sells anything other than the mounts. Anything on ebay seems to get gobbled up pretty quickly or charge almost as much as an entire second hand camera.

  2. Firstly. I need a little work done in the garage. Could you pop around this weekend? Seriously though, I have mostly dated strong independant women, but there is a difference between independant and domineering, and I think thats what guys are afraid of. We all know that a womans influence slowly increases over time and I am a little concerned of how the relationship might develop.

  3. So far 50/50. I'm impressed. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  4. Who here is currently mooching on work time? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  5. 15 years ago I did some paragliding and even did a Tandem Hangliding flight and found it 'kinda cool' but a little boring. About 5 years ago I started jumping and even using equiptment from a similar era I found it way more fun. Even the canopy stuff. Now due to an injury at work I'm having to take a year off jumping but physically I should be able to get into hangliding without any restrictions. And I'm getting used to the idea now. I know there are a few jumpers out there who have gone over to the dark side. How did it go? Did you come back? Do you like it both ways?

  6. What does everyone think of the prodigy 2? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  7. Birdman - Impact Matter - Tracer Phoenix Fly - Tacking Suit Any opinons from personal experience would be most welcome. Are there any other brands out there? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  8. I have [CENSORD] someone after she picked up the phone and started talking to her Mom. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  9. I have a few pics of some cliff jumps from Saturday 30th in Moab. I went out with Teddy and Tony around 10am. I can't remember the names of the other guys jumping that day but I got a few cool pics which I took with a 35mm camera and later had converted to CD. Thus the files are too big to post here. When I get the time I will reduce the images and post what I can. (I can't do it from where I am at the moment). Does anybody want me to email them the images as is and maybe you can pass them on? I also have some from Twin Falls ID that I took around the 15th of September. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  10. Ramblers Parachute Center in Toogoolawah QLD is a great place to jump if your on vacation. Good party atmosphere on the busy weekends. If you just want to knock out as many jumps as possible their is Sydney Skydivers out of Picton NSW has a bunch of great aircraft, and there is a myriad of smaller drop zones in some pretty cool locations all around the country. Let us know when your in town. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  11. A quick thankyou to all. Even though we didn't get that much jumping I met some great people a had a good time. Special thankyou to Teddy, Steve and Janet and all the poeple who's names I can't remember. I literally couldn't have done it without you. P.S. CSC smells way better than New York City.

  12. Thankyou all. I got a lift down with Steve. Its pretty ordinary out here at the moment. Although not quite as bad as we thought it would be. I guess the cloud is at about 2000' but its mov'n along. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  13. Anybody heading out to either Skydive Chicagoland or Skydive Chicago Friday(tomorrow). I'm out here on vacation and could use a lift out to the DZ from the down town area. Happy to share gas money. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

    If I head out to Skydive AZ tomorrow or during the week would there still be plenty of people to jump with? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

    Holiday jumping

    Have you ever travelling to a country you have never been before and spent the whole time fun jumping? Did you regret not spending atleast some of the time sightseeing? Last time I went away with my rig it ended up raining for a month straight so this wasn't really a problem. But if the situation was different I'm sure i would have jumped most of the time.

  17. Well dude! Its like this. If we strapped you to the roof of a NASCAR and asked you to tie your shoe laces whilst it raced around the track at about 120MPH you could be forgven for making a less than perfect attempt the first time. Sure in retrospect its a simple task and you may feel like a bit of a D*** but you were essentially plummeting toward the earth like a human meteorite. Mistakes happen and having another dude with 5000 jumps next to you at the time is an excellent opportunity to get those out of the way. Skyant P.S. No lie. Stage Four and Five were without doubt the greatest non-chemical highs of my life. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  18. If you had time off in October to travel on your own, what DZ would you go to and why? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  19. Anyone gone to jump in eastern europe travelling on your own. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  20. Did somebody say "Prague" and "Dropzone" in the same sentence? I would like to know more. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  21. I would be considered more a "lost sheep" than a black sheep. But then i prefer roast pork anyway. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  22. I just can't understand why no one has said Janet Reno... ------------------------------------------ OK then, who would go down on Janet Reno? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  23. You realise their are easier ways to achieve depth than crawling inside a marine mamal right? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
  24. Conny Rice is the only I would go anywhere near. I cant say what i would like to do. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

    Ipod

    Can you use windows media player to download mp3's to the ipod shuffle? i just bought an "i river" and you have to use their software which sucks. You seem to be able to use anything with the cheap ones. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
