  1. Going to Beijing in a couple of months and was wondering if anyone had jumped there before and what to expect?
  2. and your point is? I think what there trying to say is just cos its been there 30 years doesnt mean something bad isnt going to happen and for the sake of safty those sorts of instillations should be moved off shore..... If you need me to simplify i can send you a pm
  3. Or "the castle" but i doubt that got to US .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  4. Now theres a GREAT read!!! Your right about the end...Could have been a bit shorter.. .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

  6. I am thinking the farther from the mainland for ANY of these facilities.. the better. I would even add the labs that do genetic manipulation. The arrogance of people that beleive nothing can go wrong is something that can and will bite us in the ass one of these days. Spot on .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  7. Yes that is/was a VERY VERY Bad movie CRAP actually This from the guys who sent us "Mad Max". We didnt send ya NUFFIN Mel the jew hater is a Yank, he was merely living in OZ when he filmed that...Wasn't it called "the Road Warrior" there in the USofA
  8. Just finished a book called Shataram and have to recommend it to anyone looking for a read...... Fuckin brilliant true story!!!!!
  9. Stigmatism as well Love my waycools and v cheap as the lens is an insert so you dont have to worry about curve and you change the lens if your prescription changes. You get a black, clear, and orange covering aswell. Cost me $120 aus to get the lenses done...Bargan!!! This is the cheapest way and sometimes the only way if they cant fit your prescription on a curved lense ( have had problems with certain models of Oakley). .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  10. There's none that is as small AFAIK, but you should not be sidemounting that big (long) camera anyway IMO. These cameras should be topmounted ONLY for safety's sake, I really do not like the look of that long (and fairly wide whatever other people say) box. When you topmount it you can easily put the nice lens on it it deserves. This is stupid IMO, sidemounting a long camera then putting on a crap lens bringing the quality of this very nice cam waaaay down so it's "low profile" when the entire helmet is now anything but Mines topmount at the moment for that very reason. And i wouldnt put a shit lens on it which was why i asked the question in the first place. But as far as side mount.... If the box is the same size as my pc 105 with lens except for the 12cm extra length why should they only be top mounted? will that extra few cm make as big a difference as you say? and how?...Im guessing just a little more to snag? Not taking the piss serious question
  11. Some of us are doing it the HARDWAY..... Maybe your still living 30 years ago, A lot has changed since then more jumpers, cheaper gear, bigger use of wrist cameras...ect. Its fucking hard to become a good cameraman at a GOOD dropzone! By the sounds of it you should be having a go at the DZ rather than people like me trying to get jumps together when you have fuck all money. If they want to sell and inferior product at a cheaper price ( yes im probably not as good a cameraman as you) thats not my problem!!! PLEASE.... Tell all of us NEW camera flyers without 30 years experience how to get to become a success?.. all the packing,Driving, Gardening, Wiping asses ive done to get the gear and jumps ive got....and now id like to hear the HARD WAY!!! There are just more camera flyers now and less jobs....The big thing to remember though is we dont manifest ourselves with that tandem ....thats the dropzones job!!!.... (well it is at ours ) .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

  13. And the winner is.......... besides the western union this statement would have had the alarm bells ringing! .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  14. Ok ..... Would i be way off mark by saying there are no good low profile HD lenses wider than .6? If i am wrong can someone please tell me the lens name so i can go and buy it???
  15. I dont like the way a lot of the cops do business!......What do YOU suggest i do if i my place is getting robbed?..... We dont exactly have a lot of choice....do we? If I go down and shoot the guy im going to jail! .... If the police do it they get off.......Simple! .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  16. We had a case in Oz last year i thought was going to end up as a wrongful shooting..... Woman doing a cash pickup in an armored car was punched in the face by a guy with a pair of knuckle dusters grabbed the money and ran to his car to drive away started to drive off and the woman who had been punched ran up to the car drew her gun up to the window and shot him in the head......?? She didnt go to jail....should she have? .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  17. Exactly.... .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  18. I don't think there is a topic anymore. Of course the US wanted to be first. If it wasn't, it would have been the Nazis. Over London. In war, you always want to be first instead of your enemy. Germany might still have lost due to its inadequete manufacturing capacity, but the recovery would have been much much worse. And the BS around political motivation hasn't erased that the US entered WWII in response to an attack, both at Pearl and in the Phillipines and other Pacific island bases. Your failure to understand the silliness of saying "politically motivated" continues. And as you can read in previous posts I think you where at war BEFORE that....The order to fire upon the germans BEFORE Japan attacked you and other moves both legal and illegal to aid the war effort....The decision had already been made..? .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  19. So taking a life can be justified if you get punched in the face? You've obviously never been hit in the head with a baton. FYI, there's a *REASON* why a club (or baton) is considered a deadly weapon. So by that reasoning when the police jumped out of the car clubs in hand ready to whale on him ( eyewitness account?)....He would have been justified to kill them? .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
  20. Heres one from the side... .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

  23. I just re drilled the bottom screw forward a few cms..... I guess i could have put a 37 - 37 adapter to space it out but i wasnt sure if that would affect the picture?..... Was it side mounted or top when it got ripped off?? .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!
