  1. Hehee... I used to jump there a lot. Please tell Kathy I love her. "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  2. Winsor, It's other skydivers like the one you've been talking to that scare me. I firmly believe that some just should stay on the ground. This guy's gonna get hurt and will probly hurt someone else in the process. Kind'a makes me glad I fly camera and have a "birds eye" view and can choose where to fly and open. Blue Skies!

  3. I've been looking at the Digital Rebel. Does it have a remote that we can use skydiving? "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  4. Hey, what do you think of the Sony TRV950. I'm thinking I can print from the memory stick. [email protected] "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  5. How about breaking it into two 1 hour sections. The first going over just the safety aspects of flying camera as Quade suggests. The second on the techniques. and equipment. My biggest concern is low timers not realizing how much flying camera changes things in the air. I've seen some extremely dangersous video. They just don't realize how close they came.

  6. I know my gear. I'm always amazed at how other people are more than willing to tell me how to jump it. I love skydiving however, it is a serious sport. I listen politely and wonder " when is this one gonna get hurt" "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-

  8. Always has been the only three important things in life...

  12. Nice isn't it? I've made a bunch'a jumps. I love the sport. I know people who's lives have changed. Some for the better and a few for the worse. Welcome. Blue Skies! "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-

  14. From what I understand.... He jumped out of a plane at night... Who spotted his exit?? I think he's gott'a be either dead or the luckiest human in history.
  15. You got a deal! Try to have fun ok ;) "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  16. are you shooting 4way this year? "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  17. Congratulations! Don't forget to buy beer. Come to the Skydiving Chicks Rock Boogie in Elsinore next weekend. There will be lots of women from Perris. Blue Skies! "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  18. I have a big......... um, Video camera on the top and still camera mounted in the front. I think both have advantages and disadvantages... "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  19. Hi, I learned by myself as well.... Don't worry... you will have a lot of friends at the drop zone. =-) "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  20. I knew a lovely young woman who was married less than a year I think. She always left her chest strap undone because she had large breasts and the strap was uncomphortable while in the plane. I can't tell you how terrible everyone felt when she slid out of her harness during a sunset skydive with her husband and a couple friends. She shot tandem video. I heard that tandem masters knew of her chest strap not being fastened twice before..... It doesn' t hurt to check it... be ready to jump out of the plane before you get into it....

  21. Hey, any excuse to get more beer... hahaha "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  22. Bill Dause once told me "you have to jump a lot" I think he is right. Being a student will be a very small part of skydiving after you do 1,000 jumps. Pay attention, ask a lot of questions. Be willing to listen and learn. I still do...... "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  23. Ken took his to terminal and tore his sternum.... ouch!! "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
  24. Don't worry about a thing... what could possibly go wrong? I jump at Elsinore most of the time. I think I'll start going to Perris more often. I have more friends there... Let me know your thoughts after your first jump!!! "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-
