  1. I have been jumping my HC5 in a cookie composites box mounted on a FTP withuot issue. The camera flyer from "Guano" wanted to demo the camera. He secured the LCD viewer and mounted exposed on top his FTP. He flew feet/head down and busted some aggressive transitions without issue. Good Luck Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  2. Yes they do, it is a very nice set with bomber free fly pants and then a jacket, the jacket can either clip into pre-sewn rings on the pants or your hip rings. very nice set up either way, several vidiots at the DZ fly them and like them alot. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  3. I have an HC5 with a cam-Eye in a cookie box. I tape the cam-Eye in just because and have had no issues. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  4. Where did you see that? Childress racing owns the rights to that number. I never read anywhere that a number had been retired. Negative, Ghost Rider -- NASCAR retains the rights to assign numbers and has allowed RCR to keep the 3 w/o running it -- normally an owner must use the number within 2/3 years ore NASCAR will assign it to another owner. Brian France (or Mike Hleton -- don't 'member which) has let it be known that RCR must use it "soon" or lose the rights. Childress does own the copyrighted depiction of the number as used by DE and has defended its use in court. My understanding is when Big E died RCR made a deal with Nascar to continue to purchase the rights for #3 eventhough it was not running. As long as RCR pays for the assigned number it's theirs. In addition, do you think Teresa is receiving more than a few calls from the sponsors about pulling their contracts? I am sure they have an escape claus in regards to Jr being the driver of their sponsored car. Greedy Bitch, didn't Big E leave her enough Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  5. Was posting that phone number a wise idea? How many jumpers just entered that number into their phones for possible drunk dials Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

  9. Yea what she said I think it is safe to assume they want RSVP's to plan for food and frosty beverages. Plus from the rumor I hear, the princess diaries is a do not miss video of one of the DZ's TM/Aff-I/Pilot. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  10. Actually, when it comes to saves by the rigger, the alcohol of choice is usually a bottle of very good whiskey or brandy or something similar. I bought my rigger their bottle of choice when my reserve was packed for the first time three years ago(figured it was better to have a bottle on credit ). Two years later I needed silver and bought another bottle for saving my ass on my first chop. Knowing Kieth if I bring him a case of beer for him he would share it with the rest of us and we could celebrate this milestone with him, as for buying him another bottle I will get that too! I know his preferred bottle. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  11. Kieth, Congrats buddy, I think this type of [Beer] event should be the type where you get yours for free!! I'll see you on Saturday and what type of case would you like? Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

  14. If he is concerned about the dangers he should be the one looking for the answers (I am married and a father, thats what I did). With that said, you jump out of a plane at 13,000 feet you must stop the skydive at some point, if you don't, you die, it's very simple. On the flip side, if you listen to your instructors, take your training seriously, remain current and maintain your gea,r skydiving can be an awesome experience. With that said you can still do everything right and die, thus the reason we are considered an "EXTREME SPORT" Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  15. Roll Call: Feeblemind monkycndo There Fixed it for ya Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  16. I'm IN!!!!!! Last time this event was held it was one of the best days jumping and partying of the season!! If you live in Nor-Cal or are gonna be in the area this is an event you dont want to miss In addition, if your staying for the weekend the rides to altitude the following day were shall we say "rather fragrant" Roll Call: Feeblemind Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  17. Teri, Well I am assuming you will write your article on a PC, after you receive your grade just copy and paste it in the forum so we dont have to wait for your to respond via e-mail. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

  20. Well I am starting to wonder had a bad batch of cameras come of the line? Seems some are having issues and others are not. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  21. I am using a cookie composites box. Nice snug fit, no screwing needed Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  22. I am curious to the number of jumps the jumper with the camera had? What type of jump was planned? Was the jump going as planned?What is the step down on the camera lens (.5, .45 or .3)? Etcetera Etcetera. It is obvious you made a mistake and have admitted so. Altitude is your friend, I am pretty sure you instructor (s) made altitude awarness a priority (I know mine did), Plan the dive and dive the plan. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  23. Yes Lodi runs Seven days a week 12 months a year (yes it includs holidays). yes there are loads every jumable day I have been there gaurdless of the day of the week. Yes they do ALOT of tandems, but Bill has it going on with good instructors, good manifesting, and his lift capacity helps as well . Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  24. So either you skydive or swoop, but you can't have both? From my brief tenure in sport this is what I have seen: Vidiots....... Majority swoop (i.e. 180 or greater) Free flyers ...... Majority swoop (i.e. 180 or greater) AFFI's..... Majority swoop (i.e. 180 or greater) Birdman....... Half swoop (i.e. 180 or greater) RW flyers...... a few swoop (i.e. 180 or greater) So are the DZO's going to discriminate against a group of the community by only giving them them the option of hop/pops versus an alternate landing area? Also, are we going to start grounding the idiots that sashay down the center of the landing area with their giant "S" turns because thay can not properly perform a safe landing pattern? Also, are we going to ground the knucklehead that spirals down over the center of the landing area for whatever reason they decided to do it? What about the video flyer that cuts the patern to make sure he/she is able to film that tandem landing? (just another exsample, no cheap shot intended) Also ar we going to ground the individual that ???? or this??? or That??? Unfortunaely many issues arise at a DZ that may be cause for concern, this just seems to me the most recent unpleasant flavor, where are you going to draw the line? If the DZO's are going to draw this line in the sand in regards to swooping are they willing to support it with their wallet? As an exsample SDAZ (where this post started) is charging $21 for 13K ($1.65 per 1k alt), are they willing to except $4.86 for 3K, $6.48 for 4K Etc???? No insult intended, merely a question.

  25. I am with WMF hear, just ordered the HC7 via a family member and then all these posts started cropping up while I am waiting for delivery. My main questions are: 1) Is your HC7 plopped on top exposed to the elements without any protection? If so what are the results? 2) Is your camera plopped on top wearing a condom? If so what are the results? 3) Is your HC7 in a box and secured with padding? If so what are the results? Unfortunately for me my FTP has been reworked for the box from cookie for the HC7, the plus is the camera hasn't arrived so switching to an HC5 might be a better option.
