  1. If you turned it and rolled it like in the links I posted it is pretty much a psycho pack. I think precision now calls it a "Precision pack" but its the same thing. All the Psycho/precision pack is is a pro pack (over the shoulder sorting of the lines and fabric) with a roll and not a fold of the canopy before bagging it. Scott C.

  2. psycho pack works great.. I have packed thousands of canopy's that way with great luck. Just be sure to flip it back the right way to take the 1/2 twist out of the pack job. Some people love it and some hate it but it is just another method that works well in my experience. http://www.precision.aero/packing/mvc-002v.mpg http://www.precision.aero/omega_pack.htm Scott C.

  3. That was very nice! Also the 2 angles of the canopy fly by were ridiculous! Some outstanding visuals there... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  4. Makes perfect sense actually. If your looking at a few products options (canopies in this case) and are finding theses products to be very similar in characteristics for your needs, you start looking for other features benefits ect. Again all things being pretty equal, you find one company supports an event that you believe in, this can sway your opinion pendulum towards them. People will tend to support a company that supports things they believe in... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  5. That almost looks like my first camera set up in the mid 90's, only the helmet was black.. Never really thought it was that heavy but todays stuff is much smaller. I would not call that a neck breaker though Scott C "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  6. I regularly jump a pair of "Gasket: glasses from Liquid. I wear and open face and they work really well. This particular style does not fold so they don't become really small when not wearing them but that is my only issue. Very durable and no complaints from me. Think they have a pair that does hinge, t-flex or something like that. Contact Scott Campos (DZ.com username LouDiamond) he can get you all the info you need...

  7. Tampa is the closest but going into Orlando is not too bad... Tampa is the easiest though... Scott "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  8. I personally like my Japanese voice, who knew I translated like that! Scott "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  9. Not sure yet if I can be there in person but will do a gotomeeting or something like that for sure if I cant be there.. Scott "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

    New V3

    Nice looking suit! "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  15. Looks great! How much to make one for me? "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  16. Anybody know much about this? Looks like it was uploaded on YouTube and SkydiverNetwork just before Christmas... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEyXKrZG_b0 http://skydivernetwork.ning.com/video/adam-bishop-flying-wing-hot Could not find really anything on line about it other then the video on Skydivernetwork and on YouTube... Kind of a different approach with the wing on the front. Nothing was mentioned about performance at all and I saw in the YouTube description " This will revolutionize extreme sports and personal transportation once he adds fuel and turbine engines. " Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  17. Does Handbrake work well with the newer DVDs that seem to have a bunch of security on them? I will look into it, thanks for the input.. Need to get some more movies on the Zune thingy for my travels next week.. Scott C. Just looked and it looks to be Mac?? I just searched Handbrake and Mac stuff came up.. I will look a bit more though.. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  18. Sounds like it is going well down there! Say Hi to the Flock for me, wish I was able to get away this year!
  19. Not 100% related to skydiving but throught an answer might pop up out of this group... I am having sporadic success with the conversion step after decrypting. Some work great others partially work ... Currently using on a suggestion DVD Decrypter to pull the VOB files off the DVD ---then Wisoft Converter to stitch the VOB to a MPEG4 for my Portable device (Zune that was a gift) Mostly the DVD Decrypter works great with an occasional glitch on some high security movies, i.e. Casino Royale. Where the glitch comes into play is that I sometimes run into issues with iWisoft Video Converter not correctly seeing all the VOB files correctly. I can go directly from the VOB files and preview them on my computer as a complete section as well as being able to see the full length and file size of the VOB section file. Sometimes when a group of VOB files is brought into the converter program 1 might come up as 0 length and 0 for estimated size. Figured it was something to do with pulling all in at once but same result with pulling in only that file. Again the VOB is good as I can preview the whole section as a VOB Any ideas on this? Any suggestions for pulling the DVD to a MPEG4 format or a better converter for multiple VOBs to complete MPEG then the Wisoft converter??? Scott "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  20. +1 and I hope they all have a great time. I remember it was a great experience early in my Skydiving career many years ago... Lots of fun..
  21. LOL, in this case at least the power of a mullett is being used for good! Much luck and I think some humiliation pictures for here are in order as well...
  22. Little known deleted scene from Christmas Story "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  23. Fresh out of the oven Chocolate Chip "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  24. I don't know about a national Chain store but check out any costume shops in your area.. I am guessing they would have one.. Right next to the Santa suits... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
