  1. I always tell everyone, and have been on a few myself that your 100th has to be nude. Never say no to doing a nudie, it's hilarious.
  2. I'd go with the goggles if you can get your prescription. My prescription is almost as high as yours, so send them an email, and they might be able to sort you out. I have a pair of those goggles and I doubt that you'd notice the loss of peripheral vision all that much. I know a couple of people that had problems with contact + goggle. Personally I never like contacts, even just for walking around, but that's probaly just me. Anyways I found the goggles to be the best answer. Goodluck
  3. Your best bet, which has already been mentioned is to get prescription goggles. I don't beleive contact lenses are reliable when your eyes are moving all over the place. Something I noticed noone mentioned here, and perhaps I am just clumsy but I have lost goggles on jumps before and once your goggles are gone your glasses/contact lenses you were wearing underneath them will probably also go. So unless your prepared to buya new pair of glasses and goggles, just the goggles is easiest and cheapest in my opinion.
  4. I have seen one person lose two audibles mounted on the outside of their helmet and heard of countless others. I would not recommend to anyone to wear their audible on the outside of their helmet.
  5. My d-bag has about 200 jumps on it and has started to get a couple of dents on the grommets, how many jumps would you expect a d-bag to last if it is taken care of?
  6. I have a Sab2 150 that I have had from new with approx. 120 jumps. When I am front risering, the canopy tends to buck around a bit. I'm not quite sure if this is because my brake lines are too short, or if it is a characteristic of this canopy. Also a mate of mine thinks it could be because it is not loaded heavily enough, although at around a 1.01 wing loading I would have thought that this should not have affected it too much. If anybody could give me some help on this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
