  3. Thanks guys.. I've known that Fabian Fardel (coach of the Bedford Tunnel), jumps with a Legend-R / Velo 90 / 106r so....is possible for sure... They told me that these canopies inside the 0000 are not so comfortable but.. are ok. Another french guy told me that he jumps with a 0000 and a velo 103.....

  4. Hi all, I'm close to buyin' a new Atom Legend-R. I should put inside a reserve PD 106R and a PD Velocity 90. I would like to take a 0000. But I'm not able to know if these canpies fit right the container! I sent an email to Parachutes de France and to PD...but they didn't tell me nothing sure. PdF told me to compare pack volume of the canopies in relation to the min/max sizes fitted by his container but....PD doesn't misure their canopies! From PdF tables..: Legend -R 0000 reserve -> min 270 / max 278 cu. in. main -> min 276 / max 283 cu. in. Are you able guys to give me some precious suggestion please?

  7. What is the best canopy for swooping in the world? Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  8. some freestyle moves (a walnut and a method) and a swooping course landing from italy Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  9. Hi all I'm Andrea from Italy and I'm new in the forum. I ride a katana 107 and not so many jump but I love canopy piloting and freestyle manouvers. I've done 2 courses about canopy piloting in Italy and in Empuriabrava and I read and jump a lot. In Italy unfortunately there aren't very experienced pilots with have training about it. And we don't have pond on wich learn safely.. I'm able to close walnut, method, superman and some others figures but now I'm trying to deal with ghostrider and switchblade so... I'm here to have possibly some infos about. Ghostrider: In this figure you reset your toggles in their place to hold it as stopped as you can or you just leave them normally? Once closed the figure, to complete the normal landing, you keep the toggles or you land with the rear riser (more easily to take than toggles but more difficult to land stable..)? Switchblade: I tryed in air this figure but...I'm not able to keep well the other toggle! You keep the line just over the toggle or you can keep the toggle? Please give some suggestions.. Thanks very much. Andrea "Fast" Blue Skies Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  10. Hi all! Anyone who will go this year to the xmas boogie in empuria brava or that it was been last years?

    The End . . . ?

    I've lost my grandpa 12 years ago for a stomach cancer... My mother has been operated 4 times for a lung cancer gone into the intestine.. doctors gave her 3 months of life..but is still here and they don't know how is happened (after 10 years)... My father..is dead for a lung cancer last week... If you permit..I want to give you a suggestion: stay hard and motivated, love life and fight for it with every force! I know what you're thinkin'... it's only my poor suggestion. Hope to hear you soon with happy notice! Best regards. Andrea Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  13. yeah...ok... but how to "click it" once mounted on the helmet? To keep a video...ok. But to take photos? I must hold it in my hands e hope to be able to press right buttons... Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  14. Hi all.. yeah, subject sounds crazy but...that's it. An Italian review that talks about photos taken only with mobile phones contacted me for a 4 pages service...and a cover.... with about 20 photos around skydiving world taken with our mobiles. My friend and me must take some pic at the ground, some next to the airplane, others into the airplane...1 or 2 with my friend in video's position out of the fuselage...and some photos during freefall and descending with the canopy. Then, in june, the same review will give us a new concept prototype phone that can realize movies of about 1 hour...with the same resolution as a vhs.. to realize other clips about skydiving.... and some other stuff. Now, to take photo in/out the airplane and at the ground....no way to fail. But..... in freefall??? How the hell could I do?? Someone already tryed? I think to hold the mobile with its handle and scoth it to my left hand to be able to shots some pic without loosin' it.. What d'u think about this crazy test? For sure...I'll post some pics to show you how test is gone........ hopin' to still havin' my mobile..

  16. Bonehead Optik Illusion, Cam-eyeII, d-box, sony pc-106e. Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  17. top mounting... I prefer to have my camera on the side also if top mounting is surely a more secure way to fix it. This box then is maded to be fixed to the side..for the top mount you have to get the other type of box. This weekend, weather permitted (a lot of fog here in italy), I'll try... See Ya guys Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  18. Here a pic of what I'm trying to explain. In the pic 1, to have the camera fitted with the flat surface of the helmet without have the top portion exit from the over...you must get a tilted box... and you have problem screwing screws hard, risking to break the box.. In the pic 2 you see that if you want to have the 2 plan surfaces correspond perfectly... Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  19. Take a look at the attached pic... the box's right side is flat till the hinge...than it has a different tickness due to hinge and the round screws... Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  20. it's an original bonehead box.... and the camera is a small sony pc-106e.... Problem is that, imho, box is not very well projected... I mean that there is a different tickness problem of the box's parts.. Take a look at the attachment... the metal part (the hinge) is applied over the carbon fiber of the box... That creates a difference of tickness and if you try to mount the box without have the top part exit from the mounting place...you get an empty space between the box and the helmet... and it remain tilted... Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  21. me too man....but probably optik illusion isn't designed for that.. Or maybe (perhaps this one..I think) it's a box problem.. Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  22. it's the lowest position I found. Fixing it lower you have problem with the box top closing screws that doesn't permit at the box to stay close to the helmet... and behind remain out of the helmet border. I thought it too...I prefer a lowest position without box overpassing the surface but.... box side isn't a plane surface.. Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  23. Yeah...my new camera helmet is finally arrived! I've already mounted the box and regulated it with the camera. I've also added a cameyeII. Saturday...comes the test! My first jump with a camera... See Ya Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  24. Hi all.... anyone knows who is that play the track in Antigravity when Marco Manna dance with the pilatus? I'm Searchin' for it but... nothing. Thanks all See Ya Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
  25. ok... I'll tell you my impressions when arrive. I asked you if it's cumbersome cause I'll use it most of the time only with a left mounted pc-106e... Andrea "Fast" Scaramuzza http://www.fastsky.org
