Hey guys... Its obvious that with a permature reserve at 10.000 or so we land it and no questions, its almost obvious that a permature main at 20.000 we cutaway and open the reserve whenever wanted. The question is very simple and direct.... a permature RESERVE at 20.000 or 25.000. And the point is exactly the time with no O2 we gonna spend on. I dont think cutting the reserve with knife will do, trying to spin to descend is a possible answer but the energy is also important if we dont have O2. Cause Im kinda new in skydiving I think maybe there is any other chance Im forgetting. Thanks to all Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Please give me your opinion... What to do if someone have a premature reserve deploy at 17k, 20k, 30k. Same for everyone or each altitude have one answer? Thanks everyone Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Hey people, i need to find the contact, mail preference of one of these 2 skydivers. Thanks Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

First of all, re-phrase your question... You wanna do some video work like filming aff tandems or you just wanna put a camera in your helmet to film whatever is your front even if u jump solo? Putting the question as you have done everybody will assume you asking the first option, and will tell you for sure about 200jumps. But if you want to put a small dv in your helmet and jump with it just to see what you can get, I think ppl will give you a diferent answer. Anyway I'm not a good example for talk about it ;) Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

I like someone to explain me why can someone choose to have a non-zero porosity pilot chute to do base. I understand the meaning of a slider for some high jumps in order to slow down the opening of a canopy, but the pilot only slow down the canopy getting out of rig. So that seems stupid to me, if i want to slow down the first fase of opening i just release the pilot a sec. later. This is comon-sense for me, but i know its wrong cause there are ppl using non-zero porosity pilots in base. So what i like to know is the advantage of doing it, and if its not the same as using a zero. one and retarding 1sec the release of it. Thanks ppl Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Lew... do you use that for skydive ?!?!?!? isn't that bigger than an helmet? ;) I think the solution is in www.waycool.com.au given by skyjuggler. Only 7,5mm long and 43mm diametre, a lot diferent from sony ones. I really have no info about lens like this, i will contact them to be sure about pc330 and i will bought one for sure. Thanks a lot. Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

I've bought a PC330, its in my opinion the best vertical camera on a market. I use it for regular outside movies but now i wanna put in air. I found one little problem, the WideAngle Lens sony provide for it are damm big, its something like 10cm diametre. I think its really big for putting on a side mount helmet. Without i think it have no enought angle for filming on a regular freefly jump, maybe enought for filming 4ways. I like to know your opinion about this, anyone jumping with it? whats the efect? do you use the 10cm wideAngle lens? on top or side? Thanks a lot everybody Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Are you talking about the same protection of all Movies Dvd's in the market? The same ones that have copies all around? The same ones that you insert in a dvd reader and with a program such a dvdshrink you can copy all his content to the disk and then burn it to other dvd? ;) Sorry, but i never saw a copy protected dvd Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

This pool is totaly out of sense in a country like Portugal, no car is better than a 20yearold student rig, and theres no way skydiving could be more danger than driving. Dont believe? i just say that die more ppl driving every day in this 10Million ppl country than in skydiving all year. Car acidents are first cause of death in pt. Need more? We have, more than 1000 speed tickects per day, and more than 300 for alchool. Our medium speed in highways is 145kms/h and our alchool record is 5gr per litre of blood, i repeat this once again... alchool limit: 0,5gr/l record: 5gr/l (any doctor could explain you, 3 is death for normal ppl) A new fashion is in our streets: riding wrong way on highways, i dont remember anyone falling in wrong direction in skydiving :/ So... if you skydive cause you like to taste the risk... forget skydiving and come driving in Portugal.

well.. theres two small villages in my country with a river between, they ask for a bridge for long, so... Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

My advice... Option 1: Change your operating system, 98 if u like games, 2000 if not. Option2: Change the program, try pinnacle ou Sonic foundry software, very good, for me much better than premiere. Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

An answer from someone who have almost the same question some years ago, Ive sell my subaru cause ive no more money to anything else, subaru costme too much and dont leave any money to other luxury stuff. Now, some years later, i still think i took the right desicion and i will do it again, but i got to tell... the next day i almost cry for selling it and everytime i see a subaru i kick my self, and im pretty sure one day i will buy another. Mine it was not a forester but a Impreza, anyway a subaru its not just a car. My advice is simple, ride it, enjoy it, love it, but sell it before the first $500 maintenance comes.

17,300k on my 9th jump, i find my self repeating the aff7 and looking for alti. just few seconds after leaving the plane, of course the alti shows something like 4000ft(opening altitude). The jump seems never going to end. After that ive made several jumps from 16k to 17,5k, its part of the Govertical boogie in Portugal twice a year, no oxygen and no effects whatsoever, i dont know how high or how long it takes to start felling lack of o2, but never felt anything. Last time... yesterday, 4jumps from 16 to 17, its really great having 70-80s of freefall time per jump Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Portugal for sure... www.skydive-portugal.com twin otter www.skydive-algarve.com 2 DO28 Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

I have mine for 1month, works fine. Very quick self.test, no worries about batteries, etc etc only good things about it, cypres1 over and out :) Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Its really easy, just remember how the 2cables(power and data) are connected to the old and put them on same way. Anyway you can never broke or damage anything without unecessary force. The rule for 3'5 floppys is simple... For old cables, where is possible to connect in 2 diferent ways, the correct is to put the red line near the power connection. Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Neptuno... i got a question, it keep logging jump data after deploy? ive a protrack and one thing i dont like about it, is stop logging after deploy, i like something to record the jump till ground. Any other jump computer do this? Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

I think he will win and i want it. Cause he will win everything he have to win and he will retired, giving room to someone else. Maybe next year i will watch f1 again, cause past 3or4 years it sucks. And by the way, he's so popular and so gay maybe realmadrid buy it next year :( Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Any one can help me to identfy this music? Its from at least 2 nike commercials, passing now on Portugal TV(probably everywhere) with the subject Play, one they play catch(i dont know the name) ppl must touch any other person. And the second in a basket game everyone must find a chair. Please, fellows, helpme on this ;) Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Im too new and for sure i will not fly one, my opinion should not count much but anyway... two things seems obvious.... Flaps and airbrakes(to use instead of flare) Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Isnt RW the only that have the rule not to mix genders? Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

Have you guys ever seen "Christian F". A oldie movie/book about a german 13year old junkie girl. Any adult who watch the movie will say something like you:" kids who see this will never take drugs" well i think its the oposite, those stories always pull kids to the "dark side" cause theres some excitement around the "fredom" the caracters have. If i want to scare a kid i will show him a brazilian movie: "Pixote, a lei do mais fraco" i dont know if you can find this wherever you live, but the dif. is the storie goes from bad to worst never stopping for some "cool" moments. All others, in my point of view, give the idea that a kid can become a junkie and in some point after return to a health promising future. My point about anti-drugs education: give kids a better drug, cause something they must get. I will advice skydive, kinda impossible to mix with hard-drugs, and the adiction is all there ;) Sorry about the "bad english" Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

another thing... you should ask your instructor what should you do with a "600" over you. I post this here cause i like to see others opinion too. cya :) Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

You forgot one "little" info about your decision: You fly one of those "very small" 290 for main and a "even more small" 3?? for reserve. So with both open you have about a 600 to land. My question is simple, will you be able to get down? Congratulations, beer, beer and Portugal vacations... you already hae a jump to pay my friend ;) Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"
