  1. i would have thought you could maybe ask the tandem passenger if he/she has a favorite group/artist... ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  2. thats the post i was hunting for, cheers dudey! ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  3. u2 elevation? how about picking some from other videos? ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  4. i actually felt like i was there wiht you at the exit point there with those logs. i think i'm a long way off BASE jumping yet tho with only 100 skydives.. anyway well done on your first BASE and keep those storys coming there very exiting
  5. i was mainly asking how to attach the mount. am i going to gaffer tape it on glue it with pritt stick? and if i do mount it how do i need to attach it anyone got any photographs of there camera setup and how it's mounted. inside and out? ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  6. yep for good ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  7. i'm jumping this weekend. you don't haveto jump in just a t-shirt y'know ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  8. lol not meaning to hijack but the scrollers we had used to screw up mid show.. it was great having someone crawling along the IWB while the show was on right up near the fly floor. we ended up taking them off and using 3 sets of parcans the following night and the director didn't even realise
  9. i could prefer a side mount to a top mount. not sure why tho.. i think it would look like a walnut whip on the top of a melon i've seen cameras mounted onto the sides of gaths etc it's mainly going to be for filming fun jumps than movie quality special effects shots
  10. andyman. if you put gaffer(s) tape onto a gel on a parcan (a theatre light) have it working for 5 hours then expect it to come off clean. then you must be smokin funny cigarettes
  11. plug plug! anyway i thought it was called gaffer tape or duck tape.. never heard it called gaffers before
  12. looking to use this as my camera helmet. could anyone tell me how they would modify it to mount the camera and a cutaway system onto it. i have my own ideas but would like to see how they would compare to other peoples
  13. good advice there airborne and gremlin. cheers ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  14. this is doing to be a kicking do! ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  15. yup plenty been posted on the uk.rec.skydiving newsgroup about it.. ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  16. a 7 cell doesn't bend in the middle when in the stall it stays fairley solid but the tip in more pronounced.. i wish i could explain it better ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  17. i think you'll find the mr bill idea won't work hanging upside down as markers are gravity fed... therefore the marker needs holding hopper upwards.. airsoft rifles would work ... or as everyone else has said lazer tag.. when you get hit your main cutsaway.. what could be more entertaining ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
  18. when at altitude face yourself into wind.. check your airspace and altitude.. if it's clear to do so pul down both toggles to your waist and hold them there.. it'll go quiet now look up at the canopy.. and watch it... you will feel the canopy tip you... and if it's a 9 cell the middle cell will start to bow in slighly ..now let up the toggles slowly about 4 or 5 inches ... the canopy will resume flying this area of flight is called deep brakes.. Never just let go of the toggles to recover from a stall.. you will learn that only a small let up is needed in order to get enough airspeed o keep the canopy inflated.. letting go of the toggles or letting up quickly all the way to the velcro makes the canopy nose dive .. it can be fun.. but eats up altitude.. always remain altitude aware and make sure your in clear airspace. the canopys your flying, if you notice when you check your canopy and the canopy is in full flight.. you will see a bow of brake line on each side.. this is all slack and you'll find that you have to pull the toggle down to take the slack up before the canopy will turn or flare. talk to your instructors about what you've done and look at getting extra canopy coaching.. it's all good
  19. i think it would be an absolutley stupid idea.. both in terms of canopy saftey and paintball saftey. tandem skydiving is also the most dangerous kind of jumping there is. so why make it MORE dangerous?? there has already been a thread on this here http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=762251;search_string=paintball%20canopy;#762251 ------------------------ Can You Ere Me Now?
