  2. That is a great story, LOL. The cows are ok, but if the bull was around you guys would have been in trouble.
  3. I cant believe its almost been five years since you left us. You where a great teacher and friend, we all miss you very much. Hellfish once, Hellfish twice............... HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113
  4. I had an Optic Illusion and side mounted a Cookie for a PC1000. I had to put washers to the top to level the camera. It can work and they look good but on that helmet I didnt like it. HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113

  8. I have a bean head and the only one that fits me is the Nvertigo and the Nvertigox. You hould check them out HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113
  9. It is a weekly battle for me when I go to the DZ. No matter what i say she cant understand why i cant make 1 jump and come home . When i head out to a boogie its like world war III. I always get the stupid questions, "What do you do all day long?" Can you go shopping at the DZ?" "Who are you with?" I try and get her to try and get into it but she wont even try. I think it time to trade her in for a new model. HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113

    NVERTIGO

    I love the fit of this helmet and how comfortable it is. It covers my head perfect and when you crank on the sky dial you don't hear any outside noise. I didn't realize how quiet it was until I jumped a different helmet. The only thing I don't like is the audible being on the outside but with the correct bracket and band it is safe from damage and shouldn't fall off. If you have a peanut head like me, you will love this thing
  12. Ride what you like but the only thing you have to remember is to always wear your gear and keep it under control. After falling 2 times broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder and a lost finger tip, I will always wear my gear. I fell twice with gear and walked away not very well but I walked away. I see the younger kids riding and I get the goose bumps when they fly by me on the freeway at 120+ in T-shirt and shorts. I got a Gixxer but ride it like a Harley. I learned after I fell I guess I got lucky I had the chance to learn from my mistakes. HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113

  14. Just got my helmet and I loved the way it looked and that's why I bought it. My first problem was the way it fit. It has a high neck line and my ears are not covered very well. I heated the ear pads and the fit is Ok and should break in better but still kind of tight and uncomfortable. My biggest problem and when I bought was the main reason I bought it was the lock jaw hinge. To get it to fit right and not rock around you have to crank on it but it puts your jaw in a weird angle. One good bump to the chin cup and it could break you jaw. I figured I would add padding to see if I could position it better and I kind of got it. I may have a Goofy shaped head and that might be my issue. Maybe putting it on before buying would be a good idea. Your head might like it and might fit better. I mounted a Cookie box for a PC 1000 and it looks great on it. After putting it together and checking for camera position I noticed from my recording that the top of the camera lays about 1 1/2 inches to the right. To get it to be centered i had to add washers on the top and now I have to tape the crap out of it to get rid of the snag point. Overall its a great looking helmet that I would suggest trying on before buying and using it for top mount instead of for side.
  15. Hey Eugene, It was nice jumping with you and I hope that you will come out more. HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113
  16. Whats up girl? Kind of expensive but cookie has them www.cookiecomposites.com/shop/Accessories/32/index.htm HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113
  17. Thanks for the info,I think this answers my question. I want a side mount because thats what I am used to and I freefly and edit all my video. I do not want to have to get a new computer or program for video of fun jumping. I guess the PC1000 is the best thing for me at this point. As they say, old dog new tricks HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113
  18. I am jumping a PC120 and wanted to change up. I was thinking about the PC1000 but keep seeing the CX7. I can get the cameras for about the same price but do I go with the newer one or keep it old school? I will be using it for fun jumps and not even sure if I should spend the money at all.

    Skydive Tecumseh

    I have been jumping at Tecumseh for 5 years and it is my home DZ. The place is great and I love jumping here. Everyone is welcomed and always leaves with smiles and great stories to tell. This year has been a great one so far with the new owner Franz coming in and cleaning up the place and adding a new clean look. Most of the DZ is under construction and is being worked on but is looking better than it has in a long time. There is plenty of packing, camping, landing & chill space. It is set up perfect for any skill level and the outs are all over the place if you need them.

    Sabre2

    I have only about 30 jumps on my Sabre 2 170 loaded 1.35. Not very happy with the openings, I don't like the 90 or 180. It has great flare power and it will get you back from a bad spot. Great for a novice but not for a beginner. You have to watch your packing and body position. Not for a lazy packer and it will tell you if you pack it like you should. I found out last weekend that it is like a pissed off girl friend that catches you cheating.
  21. Cant wait, its going to be a great time HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113
  22. That is the protektor that I thought I would get when I bought it. You can buy it online HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113
  23. The wrist strap should come with a string that is used to tie the Viso to the strap. The factory strap is not very good. HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113
