  1. You might be talking about 2k composites FFX or FF2 helmets. ~Chivo
  2. Whatever man, as long as its sometime later... ~Chivo
  3. TONTO! Ok, see ya'... tomorrow... ~Chivo
  4. Just curious... when you get the video from the camera into your hard drive, it uses the DV format, which is interlaced. If you intend to burn DVDs of those videos, should you deinterlace the videos or not? ~Chivo
  5. Check the video on my previous post. ~Chivo
  6. Ok, check it out... its about a 1.5mb download (for media player 9) MR. BILL It was really tough cuz on the exit we rotated and went head down for a couple of seconds. ~Chivo
  7. I did mine last saturday at Waller (Skydive Houston), tonite I'll edit the video and post the url so you can check it out. It was hilarious! We did it @ 5k (hop&pop), Sluggo has a Spectre 170, and we both weight about the same 180lbs. ~Chivo
  8. Can't switch to Verizon cuz I still have 1 year to go in my current contract w/AT&T. The question is to change to GSM or stay with TDMA. ~Chivo
  9. I want the new Motorola MPx200. I might even get it today and try it for a month. If it doesn't have that good connectivity, I'll return it and look for something else. Thanks all for your replies. ~Chivo
  10. I have service with AT&T and I'm considering upgrading my phone & service to GSM. Right now I have a Motorola V60 (TDMA). Since I rarely go out of the city, except to go skydiving, I'm curious about its coverage at the dz, and maybe on the road to the dz from LA. Any comments??? ~Chivo
  11. Are there any freefly tube manufacturers out there? Or they are home made? Maybe done by riggers? Edited to add: I already checked and Square1 aren't selling them anymore. ~Chivo
  12. Vibes. I was never that close to my grandma, but I was close with my great grandma. She left us when she got to ninety-something years old. She was the sweetest good hearted person I've ever known. I still miss her. ~Chivo
  13. Why not make your own opinion of that canopy? I'd say... demo it. If you like it, then get it. If not, look for other options. Some ppl love it, some hate it. So far, nobody has said anything bad (to my knowledge) about the flight characteristics of the cobalt. The issue (afaik) is the openings. Demo it, and make sure you follow the manufacturer recomendations for packing the canopy. Jump it a few times and decide if it is a good canopy for you or not. Edit: If you have 25 jumps, i'd say its a bit early for you to start flying an elliptical canopy. But I also agree that ppl progress differently in this sport. Make sure you talk to your instructors about it. If they think you're ready for it... go ahead and demo it. ~Chivo
  14. If you decide to go for dark tinted goggles, I'd also suggest you get a set of clear ones. I use dark (mirror) goggles through the day, they are really good at blocking the glare of the sun. But the diminished light closer to sunset makes it much harder to see, so I use clear ones for the last jumps of the day. ~Chivo
  15. Hey JT, I personally use Proxomitron. It is a FILTER. You can enable/disable a LOT of filtering options. Including banner removal, block popups, block statusbar scrollers, and much more. http://www.proxomitron.info/ ~Chivo
  16. I have both SCR and SCS. Now I want the VSCR and hopefully the VSCS. Check http://www.scr-awards.com. Those awards are popular in TX, but here in CA only a few know about them. Guess in CA they're just afraid of the ceremony . ~Chivo

    Hya Wendy, if you liked the movie... check THIS out! It's the original Prison Experiment done at Stanford. ~Chivo

    Das Experiment!!!

    Nah, a friend had it in DVD... he insisted we watched it. At the end, you get this sensation of disgust towards humanity in general. Anger, frustration, hate... it just makes you think about what we are truly capable of. After that movie, all other movies suck. You can watch a great scene of another movie and laugh at how unreal their performances are. ~Chivo

    Das Experiment!!!

    I must say... Das Experiment is by far the most disturbing movie I've ever seen! Reminds me of how I felt when I left the theater after watching Seven, except like a 100 times worse. Now don't get me wrong here, its not about grotesque murders, but about how terrible human behavior can be. It is definetly a must see... ~Chivo
  20. As many ppl recomend here, I had about 180 jumps when I purchased my camera and about 220 when I ordered my helmet. I started jumping it last weekend, at 240 jumps. I wanted to video for fun. I was in no hurry to do it, so, even if I felt I had the skill to do it earlier, I also believed that this recomendations were there for my safety - and those jumping with me. ~Chivo
  21. You can also research 2k Composites FFX or FF2 helmets... they seem to be multiplying quickly around here... they're very nice quality. I have an FFX. Only prob is that its a bit expensive. ~Chivo
  22. WTF!?!?!? Really?!??! I thought the original was the one in College Station! I'll have to find out the address... Freebirds is awesome! Unfortunately the 30% discount is non transferable . LOL! ~Chivo
  23. I agree with you Casie, Taco Cabana sucks! I finally got to go to Freebirds... after almost 2 years of craving for it!!!! LOL! There's no better burrito than Freebirds. ~Chivo
