  1. You can get the skyhook on a Javelin now? _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  2. Skydive Long Island, the view is amazing. Depending on when you come there should be a Caravan and a King Air to jump. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  3. The rigger for SDLI works through out the year. He is about 45 minutes away from NYC. PM if you want his information. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  4. Thanks for the compliments. Its really comfortable too., feels like a lazy boy under canopy! _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  5. I downsize so that one day I may have enough experience to swoop. Some people enjoy a large slow canopy while others have aspirations to become a swooper. I plan to put a few hundred jumps on this canopy before I make my next move but evenually I will downsize again. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  6. Here is mine. These pictures were taken with the wrong d-bag installed (Sunpath sent me a RSK d-bag for my TJNK). Colors: Navy Charcoal Black _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  7. Have you looked at VW quality record? They have been on the bottom of the list for a while now. Life is short, enjoy it now, go buy it. I am actually waiting for my 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 to come in (which should be any day). _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  8. My one an only time landing off wasn't the greatest thing in the world but wasn't horrible. After a 3 way FF I turned, tracked and deployed. The winds were a bit different up at 3000+ so I wasn't getting the greatest penetration. I was half way over these trees that separate the DZ and a sod farm. At about 1500 ft I decided I was not going to make it and headed for the sod field. I landed and decided since the grass was so nice I would just pack right there (a mistake in my book). After I was done I started hitchhiking towards the DZ. After about 30 minutes of walking and no one pulling over to help me (I think if I didn't pack my chute people would have realized that I wasn't just some stranger trying to get a ride, rather a skydiving in distress). Finaly a guy pulled over and gave me a ride back. During this ride the whuffo gave me all sorts of advice of what I did wrong and where I should have landed. I wound up making it back for sunset load which was just about to go up but since I was packed I was all ready for it. I wasn't very far from the DZ but because the DZ has razor wire on the fence surrounding it I could not just simply walk through the trees. If it wasn't for the guy picking me up I would have walked for about an hour and a half. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  9. It seems to me that on these forums the phase "Ask your instructor" only applies when the poster agrees with the advice giving by the instructor. I know that I have read in the past of people saying there instructor told them they could do something (downsize, jump a certain canopy, jump a certain reserve size) to which posters disagree with and then the advice of "Ask your instructor" no longer applies. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  10. Changing format as I capture to the PC. There are two options DV-AVI or MPEG2. I am using a PC109. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  11. When I pull video off my camera what format will give me the best quality? DV-AVI or MPEG2? _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

  13. I have been jumping for 2 years now. I start in April 2005. I did 88 jumps my first year and so far 267 jumps this year. I also go to school and work full time. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  14. I would like to thank global warming for allowing me to jump this past Saturday in January. Although a bit windy it was still 70 degrees (I live in NY where it is suppose to be like 20 degrees) and I got 3 jumps in. 4:3:0 _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  15. Skydive Long Island 2006. It's 30 minutes long so grab some popcorn and enjoy http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=5200 _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  16. I was thinking the same thing, but could they do something like give the skydiving aircraft first priority for take off and landing? _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  17. Going to be a tough call between X-keys and STL. I have to see which place has the most promising weather. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  18. I have a 30 minutes video that I am going to upload to skydivingmovies.com later today now that it's back up. It is the movie that we created for SDLI"s end of the year party. I will post back when it's uploaded. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  19. You can try searching harddrive, dvd camera, hd camera. I just did a quick search and all of those words came up with plenty of informative threads. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  20. Jumping buddy of mine has one on his truck. He hits the horn anytime he is a few blocks away from your house, uses it as a doorbell :) It's funny pulling up to someone on a cell phone or who isn't paying attention and blasting it, they practical jump out of the car. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  21. Do you need a monitor with it too or just a tower? Take a look at www.lenovo.com I was able to put together a tower with an AMD X2 processor, 1.5 PC-4200 DDR2 memory, 250gb drive, dvd/cd burner for around $780 (without the monitor). Or you could save a bunch of money and build it yourself. It's not very hard. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  22. Should have posted on DZ.com first about buying a Dell, could have saved yourself from all this headache and your money from being wasted. There are reasons why Dells are so cheap and it doesn't only have to do with there poor customer service. I would cancel your order and spend the extra cash for a better quality machine. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  23. I hope to see you Saturday Val! _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  24. Bigger is always better, I would prefer D but would take a C, fake or real doesn't matter to me. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  25. Ok I am in a bit of a debate with this question: A plane is standing on a runway that can move (like a giant conveyor belt). This conveyor has a control system that tracks the plane's speed and tunes the speed of the conveyor to be exactly the same (but in the opposite direction). Will the plane be able to take off? I say no since the plane needs speed to get air to flow over it's wings to create lift. The plane would have to travel twice as fast as the conveyor to take off. Opinions? _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
