  1. LOL bigdaddy. I don't get how you landed 2 miles away from the DZ? At 13,000 you should have way more than enough time to get back. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  2. I just looked at a picture and got on the next load to try it. My 1st one I was way to stiff. That knocked me all over the place and I couldn't keep it stable. On the second I tried to just be more relaxed and I got it. You'll get it pretty quick I bet.
  3. Sweet vid man!! I didn't get to check out the whole thing cause I gotta get my ass to school, but that's awesome! You looked real good up there.
  4. The only time I was scared was doing my first static line jump. Hangin on to the strut of that C-182 with the wind blastin at me. After that, now I just want to jump, jump, and jump some more! ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  5. My pro-dytter came with a mount and 2 zip ties for both sides of the mount. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  6. I'm not worried about losing my dytter. I've seen tons of guys with their dytters mounted on the sides of their helmets and they all seem to being good. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  7. Good guess! ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  8. I was just mounting my Pro-Dytter onto my BG Guner helmet and I was thinking about my Sony DCR-TRV-27. It doesn't cost anything to run and I barley use it so I was wondering how many jumps I should have before I jump with a camrea? I currently have 42 jumps. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  9. What's the channel name? #dropzone? ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  10. Most of the spinning was out of frame cause I float like a mofo on my belly at 135 pounds. Once I looked down and saw Jimmy's quarter inch silhouette below me I got into my sitfly and caught up. Do you jump at Lodi much, Tim? ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  11. This is my 39th jump, and 4th or 5th sitfly jump. The camera man dropped like crazy on me so I tucked pretty hard in my sitfly. I was having such a blast I forgot to get out of that tight sit position. Jimmy, the camera man had a fat smile on his face the whole time, lol. Good jump
  12. I had two incidents like that. The first time was when I first wore my Neumann gloves and I couldn't find my handle for a few seconds. Everything felt different with the gloves on, but I got the hang of it. Another time I wore my North face jacket liner and I was freeflying that jump. My jacket totally unzipped, popped out of my pants where I had tucked them in, and covered my handle. That sucked. That was around 4. I dropped to 3 before I got it cleared and pulled. I guess it's a good thing I pull higher for reasons like that. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  13. Yeah, I've done that before Phree. He whooped my ass... lol it was kind of sad actually. He spead off... I dropped... But that was around jump #20. Who knows, maybe I've improved. I'm about to find out in about an hour when I get to the DZ.
  14. Happy New Years everybody! I'm celebrating by jumping all day long. It's a bit cold, but worth it! ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  15. The only DVD I can think of is Good Stuff. That has some freeflying, skysurfing, wingsuit jumping, and other crazy stuff like raft jumps, and throwing cars out of planes. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  16. I've got 40 jumps so far and probably about 15 of them are RW jumps. The rest are FF and tracking. Freeflying seems to be more exciting for me. There's more positions, and more maneuvers to play around with. I may not do a lot of RW jumps, but I do do at least 1 tracking jump per visit to the DZ. I don't wanna be in a hairy situation and go to track and have my track sucks so bad I end up getting slammed into. Ya never know, so I've been praticing that a lot lately. I'm just all caught up in freeflying right now. When I made my first headdown jump a few months ago, that just got me hooked. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  17. I'm a newb to freeflying and I thought flying with my legs way wide was fast too. Then I tried flying headdown with no legs at all, just real close and letting the wind just take them. Holy crap that's fast...lol ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  18. What codec do you use to encode your videos, Andy? Whenever I create videos with premiere, even with XviD or DivX, they're huge files. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  19. The first time I did it I thought I'd screw it all up. I just dropped my right arm and leaned right and it flipped me perfectly into a headdown position. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
  20. Awesome tips! I'm defnitely going to try all those hand/foot/chest touches on my next visit to the DZ this week.
  21. Man that dl doesn't seem to be working for me. ------------------------ Freefly, baby.
