  1. Yes you have something to play in on and an infinate supply of batteries....what CD do you listen to? me....Led Zeppelin II
  2. I thought audible altimeters worked on measuring air pressure. How can they get an accurate reading inside a tight enclosed helmet where the air pressure is probably different? This will help me choose a helmet (Midwarp vs.Hurricane) so thanks for the help!
  3. Hey Phreezone, I saw some of your movies and they are AWESOME! What type o fhelmet do you use? It looks like the camera is totally enclosed?!? How much and where? Thanks for th advice and great movies on cajun chicken!
  4. I've been looking at helmets and could use some guidance. I am an avid snowboarder here in Utah and don't see how skydiving helmets differ from ski helmets. Are skydiving Snell rated? Besides the goggle holders on the back of some, a possible snag point, what's the difference? Composition? Is anybody using them now? Which ones? Thanks for the help!
  5. Ok, here's my question. I am looking into getting a camera and wanted to see what everyone thought about digital cameras that have the video/movie option? They are VERY small, but how does the picture quality compare? Has anybody tried this method? Also what is a good quality but inexpensive camcorder for filming? Many thanks!
  6. OK, broad question, but I'm new and was wondering if the community could shed some light. I need a rig and plan to buy one of the three. What are some experiences that people have had with them? I know they're probably all good, but what are your preferences? Thanks for the help!
  7. I'm new and looking for a jumpsuit. What's the difference between freefly, sit fly, and all the others? I get the tight and smooth vs. the baggy and rough material, but what else should I know before I buy? Thanks!
  8. It's actually 11/97, what's the cuttoff?
  9. I'm looking at a DOM 96 Javelin. I was wondering what they have changed since then and if this was a "good" or "bad" year for them? Obviously best to buy the newest you can afford, but any insight is most welcomed?
  10. Hello, I'm new and was wondering what was out there for magazines? Are there several? What do most people read? Another dumb question, but are there any good instructional videos? Will they help? Thanks and see you in the skies.
  11. Hi, I plan on getting my license this spring and getting into jumping as soon as I possibly can. My DZ said that I can do the first 2 jumps one day, level 3 in one day and then 3 jumps per day after that. Is there any disadvantage to moving quickly. I am eager to be on my own, get my own chute and start jumping. Any advice would be most helpful. Thanks.
  12. Hello I'm looking at a used Javelin (DOM 96) with a Sabre 190 (DOM 90) with new lines not even a year ago and a Rascal 200 Reserve (DOM 89) that has never been used. 600 jumps on the rig. The advantage is that it is local and I can check it out. The dates scare me a little, but I'm new to the sport and don't really know. What do you guys think? Would you jump it?
