  1. Sydney Morning Herald ran a decent article on it yesterday: http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/leap-from-the-top-of-the-world/2006/06/08/1149359863372.html?page=fullpage
  2. Thanks guys, that answers my question perfectly. I had spoken to someone who does video production, but the only Sony he had to reference from was the Z1A, and I was kinda hoping that other models would have that same feature. Not to be I suppose Now to find a PAL version!
  3. I live in Australia, and i'm looking around to buy a Sony PC1000 (this will be my first video camera, and i'm going to jump it in the future), most likely from the USA because that's where most of the 2nd hand ones are. Being in Australia we use PAL, and i'm wondering if I buy a PC1000 from America, am I going to have issues with the NTSC/PAL thing, or does it not matter when recording to MiniDV? Is there a setting in the camera that I can just flick over to PAL? I've looked around on the net pretty extensively, but I can't find what the answer to this, so i thought i'd ask some people with experience with that camera. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to video seeing as I'm just getting into it. Thanks!

    Fatality in Norway

    My prayers go out to all my fellow Aussie brothers and sisters and his many friends from around the globe who are hurting at this time Coombesy, you were and still are an inspiration. Fly free.
  7. You're a dead man, you just don't know it yet.... Now where's that gun....
  8. Kirrz, You may not know it but I was on that load with you (I was the guy with just a tshirt on about to freeze my ass off on a tracking jump! Black rig with yellow stripey bits). It was insanely turbulent, it's normal to freak out when the plane's doing all that. I seriously thought you were going to vomit all over me, and that would not have been a good thing, as it would've caused me to vomit too Keep at it! Remember, you have a parachute, two actually! Worst case scenario you'll have to jump out and use it, which you were going to do anyway! Will probably see you tomorrow I guess! Jason
  9. Google ignores meta keywords, pretty much all other search engines use them. The best way to improve your ranking is to have good content, and have other people link to you. From Google: Hope that helps a bit
  10. Those photos rock! Any possibility of getting this one in a bigger version for my desktop wallpaper? My favourite photo out of the whole lot! (I'd actually pay for a poster-sized version of that to put on my wall at home) Beautiful!
  11. 0 : 6 : 0 Six 4-way competition jumps for the Autumn league. Great fun! Edit: Thanks for jumping with us mate, it was much appreciated!
  12. From stabiliser to centre cell: Blue Red Green Yellow Yellow First rig, no choice in colours, but hey, it works, and it's bright! Ultra-high visibility for the win!
  13. 0 : 6 : 0 3 flat jumps 2 tracking jumps 1 tube exit held for a long, long time
  14. You watched Seinfeld? Hahahah good call!!!
  15. Just got around to watching this vid. I loved the footage from the paragliders! Cheaper than a chopper, and I'm guessing there's no air traffic laws over there? Once again, awesome, loved the strikes, youch
  16. 0 : 6 : 1 6 hop'n'pops for a canopy handling day 1 navigating my canopy through the tall trees on final approach because I didn't compensate for the wind that came up after lunch while flying my new landing pattern... Won't do that again in a hurry
  17. Where do they get the fresh fish from? Rivers?
  18. If they're gonna do that they need to write smarter regular expressions so it doesn't pick up legit words or mangle any hyperlinks we put in our posts.
  19. 0 : 5 : 0 4x 4-way autumn league team jumps (could they have given a harder first round?!) 1x attempted rodeo The XL I guess? Haven't been in a stalling plane yet!

  21. I can show you a D-18.... Is that photoshopped? With the guy on the prop?

    It could probably impede the canopy opening and pressurisation too.... Openings are definitely violent enough to cause the material to become rigid i'm sure.... That'd suck.
  24. Haha that was gold! Seriously tho baseknut, you coulda saved yourself alot of crap by spending a few hours (or months in reality) just reading everything you could possibly devour on BASE. There are plenty of good resources on pretty much EVERY topic and answers to nearly every question a newbie could have about BASE. Here's a good place to get started (if you haven't already): http://www.basejump.org/discus/messages/14/14.html?1110599010 People are more inclined to take you for real and answer your questions when they see you've already put some serious time into researching your topic. My 2c....
  25. 0:4:0 Moving out of home for the first time this weekend so I doubt i'll be jumping at all this coming weekend
