Skydiving helmets are rubbish for impact protection. This is their normal "YOU CANT SUE ME NOW" clause. A bit of fibreglass and foam is better than nothing however plus you can mount gadgets like audibles/cameras and not bash your head in the door or on a wobbly landing where you tumble. Plus with a full face you might save yourself getting a shoe in the mouth/nose.

My Mum hated it at first probably more through ignorance. She's used to hearing on these WW2 documentaries that 5% of all drops are fatal or whatever the figure is. Once I talked her round she even bought me an audible as it was her little way of making it a bit safer for me. The deal is that I don't get a motorbike, something I've been crazy about since I was a nipper

Well I have been to a pig farm of sorts! I'm back and with a new rig and paperwork. Can't wait to get back in the air!

I'm in. Ordained. I shall take this responsibility very seriously and lead by example *sips beer by the pool* Updated list attached

Imagine my dismay... I've been away for a little while and on my return there is no Sonic Beef website! This piece of British Beef *twitch-MOOO-twitch* wants to know whats happened!

I jumped 2-3 days after having a cirumcision and got an infection in my cock... it was a scary time... I recommend you sit it out for a couple of weeks so as to not aggravate things

Nice rig. Got some higher res ones of mine now (cheers Andy)...

It's all good dude. I still reckon you getting the first fondle of my rig is like getting a go on my missus though.

Yeah, it was a brilliant service! I wouldn't have a rig now else that's for sure. Cheers Gary. Ill try and get some high quality pics up soon

Lol. I will! Need an aad and I'm good to go

Well, my friend took collection of my sexy new rig today. I6. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Sorry for picture quality

My first jump was my own pack job as we got weathered off and had to do something instead of just sitting around! The next day I jumped my own packjob! As if gear fear on your first jump isn't bad enough! It was checked off loads of times along the way though.

Because the examples you just gave weren't terrorists.

Again it has tried to format it as a blank disc. I think its lost forever Maybe the disc/data is corrupt and thats why its not being recognised on anything.

Thanks. Just downloading trial version of Sony Vegas Platinum now. Hopefully it will allow that function in trial. The disc is a Sony 8cm DVD+RW

The menu I described auto loads when I put the disc in and you can't get out of it. I would RTFM but there isnt one

Thanks. When I try that it says "Formatting Starts" and "use disc select guide" or "do not use disc select guide". Then no matter what I pick it asks me to then select aspect ratio and click "ok" to format. Will this wipe the disc? Is it simply a seclection of what future ratio it will record in? Don't want to lose it by selecting this option.

Hi people, Thought I'd call on you for some help... My friend borrowed a Sony Handycam (The DVD type) to film his sons first birthday. He gave me the small DVD out of the device to do some quick editing and make some copies onto normal sized DVDs. I have put the disc into my computer only to get the Vista prompt "What do you want to do with this blank disc". The disc shouldnt be blank. We reviewed footage the day it was filmed, so we were able to access the data then. The disc is blue which I assume is like when data is burnt and you get the different rings of colour on the disc. On attempting to place the disc back into the Handycam it prompts to format the disc in either 16:9 or 4:3 again apparantly treating it like blank disc. I wondered if the camera had a harddrive of sorts where the data may be stored but accessing the index shows nothing there. Looking online it appears they dont have a hard drive. As my friend was unfamiliar with the camera I don't believe he finalised the disc. Is there any way of recovering this footage does anyone know? Am I making a silly mistake? I was reluctant to go ahead and format on inserting the disc in case there is data on there and I would lose it. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sam

Sit down and jam it down the bowl. It hurts but it creates a cool whirlpool in the bottom of the toilet such is the pressure

Dude, Andy took me out on the town in his stomping ground and all I remember is a blur of having to run round the pool table with my trousers round my ankles for getting 8 balled, throwing up after drinking this ridiculously strong german beer, getting conned by some high kicking ninja doorman, falling asleep on the stairs in a nightclub, having it large with some over emotional USAF boys stationed here, nearly getting arrested for being too rowdy and swearing and throwing up when I got out the taxi and the 'fresh air sniper' caught me. Then having had only 4 hours sleep and going to the DZ and on the way Andy getting me a speeding fine and penalty points cos the fucker didnt know where we were going despite living there and took me through a restricted roadworks section! Then when we got to the DZ I had a bottle of water and was still wobbling... Andy, straight on the beer! ... what a weekend. I'm glad you've left England mate! Gonza: You have no chance but It'll be fun trying!

UK Parachuting rocks. I travel half way across the country to jump there (on the rare occasion I'm jumping these days) even though I got a DZ within spitting distance of my house. The place has a good vibe and club feel.

Do you really think a BASE jumper gives a fuck about emergancy procedures. They are only ticking the boxes for the legal aspect

Andys just angry because noone is paying him $150 an hour for his opinion

Thats quite possibly the funniest thing ive ever seen!

That is my point...
