Thanks for the insight re 'average', that's what I was looking for.

I am 5 10" so kinda average, as I thought.

To answer your question, I never had this problem before, but after a 1 year recovery from broken pelvis (unnecessary front riser dive loops accident), I have lost about 8 pounds and it's taking awhile to put back on ;)

Also, the chaps at my new DZ average 10 pounds heavier than me.

I have tried the spandex, tight suit thing - was in the smallest 'box' position ever!! And I CAN arch. I'm simply too light now, but not by much, I can just stay with them, range is my issue now, takes too long to catch them. Hence the weights idea :)

Hehe fair enough.

Gonna add 8 pounds or so and see how it goes.

Hi all

Is there a weight guideline considered 'recommended average' for flatfly? I'm trying to work out how much weight to add...

I weigh 170 pounds with gear and seem to be too slow.

Hi all

I'm looking to mount the same camera (CX-150E) top-mount on a Optik 210 helmet, with a GoPro on the front.

I see these posts were a while ago - how about some feedback re operating with it? Which d-box did you go with in the end? How does it perform in FreeFly?

Thanks!

Precisely my problem until I have the goods in hand :( I have the guys at ChutingStar looking into it tho...

Thanks - good answer effort!

Thanks dude :)

Hi all

Is the HDR-CX150E video camera NTSC or PAL? I need PAL (South Africa).

If not PAL, which model number is PAL?

Thanks

I see your point. Thank you.

Am now leaning more towards mounting the GoPro with Low-Pro mounting on the front by itself. (It will stand up a bit, as the 210's front is sloped)

Then mounting a CX-150 or something ontop, also by itself, with a Liquid Flatlock or equivalent.

This now begs a new question:

Will the GoPro be in the way of the CX's field of view??

Naa, we're tougher - Bouncing back rocks, 'coz then you're airborne again

Hey guys

I'm looking to use GoPro in stills mode, with Contour+ for video, both top mounted.

I am really keen on this combo (BH Optik 210 & Zkulls Hero Overkill) - Will it work? The 210's front looks very sloped...

Thanks

Hi all

Started skydiving in 1996. Recently returned to the sport after a long break. Then broke my pelvis badly due to one hand unintentionally left in frontriser diveloop at flare time. Unlucky. After a year and a half recovery, I'm now recurrent and back with even more enthusiasm for my beloved sport.

Nobody ever warned me about this hazard. Yet I see now it was mentioned in these forums. So now obviously I'm reading everything I can ;)

Great work - keep it up guys!

I recently (04/03/2010 Tempe, RSA) broke my pelvis in 4 places because I couldn't get my left hand out the front riser dive loop at flare time.

I had experimented with straight front riser pulls above 1000', but forgotten to take my left hand out. I merely continued a long downwind leg, 180 hook with right toggle, all perfect - except forgot left hand was still in dive loop.

I sincerely wish I'd read these articles earlier, as it was the first time I've read/heard of this being an issue :(
