Hi, I'm sure you are all sick of me by now, but I'm doing my aff + consol and time/weather permitting my FS1, with a wednesday in the tunnel. I start the aff on the 8th July. Anyone else doing the same or at sebastian from 8th to 22nd july? I'm staying @ the Ferndale lodge. Gimme a shout. I'm so excited I could crush a grape !

Hi, I was looking for a helmet on the web, just fact finding really so I know hats on offer when I go to Sebastian in July. I found this intresting link and though maybe it's of some use?Maybe incoprorating (if any good) the technology into a skydiving helmet? I realise the image of whatever is behind u in freefall may be too small/field of view to narrow etc. Just thought I'd throw the idea to the lions and see how it gets chewed up. Com'on. Debate it check out the rear viwew technology link http://www.reevu.com/ Phil. ------------------------------------- When I learn new stuff, it pushes the old stuff out of my brain!

great advice everyone. Thanks again. I had assumed a dytter was to be use along with a wrist mounted alti, having not even jumped yet I wouldnt be confident waiting for a beep in my helmet! Com'on the 8th July ! I cant wait. P ------------------------------------- When I learn new stuff, it pushes the old stuff out of my brain!

Thx for the reply. I'm doing my AFF and FS1 comencing july 8th in Sebastian florida. Planning on buying alot of my gear out there so need advice prior to me going. Thanks again oh and I dig what you're saying about learning what 4000 looks like ;-) Phil. ------------------------------------- When I learn new stuff, it pushes the old stuff out of my brain!

Hi, I'm wondering what experianced skygods think of audiable helmet altimeters? I guess having one tucked in your helmets saves having to constantly keep an eye on a wrist mounted alitimeter. I'm thinking experiance leans towards a wrist mounted visual one AND helmet audible, just in case? Thx Phil. ------------------------------------- When I learn new stuff, it pushes the old stuff out of my brain!

fair point. I also had a road bike till very recently. I was always a visor boy myself. Not much fun being hit on the cheek @ 30mph neh mind 120 , yes it hurt and to add insult to injury the bee stung me on impact ! Just missed my eye so had a lucky escape. Would like to have a bee sting my eyeball !! So, while i like the idea of a full face helmet and also the fact I wear glasses. I'll get more advise on the DZ. tHANKS EVERYONE ------------------------------------- When I learn new stuff, it pushes the old stuff out of my brain!

Thanks for all the feedback guys and gals. I have however decided to stay for 14 days rather than seven (the flights were way cheaper!!) I am now planning on doing (and the dz say it's certainly possible as long as I'm focused) AFF/CONSOL and my FS1. I wasnt planning on doing the tourist thing so the full 2 weeks is dedicated to absorbing as much as I can. Oh and buying a bonehead Havoc, if it doesnt suit or end up being a pain,,, I'll sit it on the mantle piece and look at it, because boy do they look good Phil. ------------------------------------- When I learn new stuff, it pushes the old stuff out of my brain!

Cant one have sex and it still not be a date Just 2 adults enjoying !! Or maybe a woman can have a man friend but still have sex with him? I've known a couple of girls like that. ------------------------------------- When I learn new stuff, it pushes the old stuff out of my brain!

well thx to everyone who has given me feedback. I'm sure I'll be itching to get back on the forum come the 23rd July and proudly list my licence details and jumps ! I'll pass on all the hellos and who knows I may take a copy of this thread to leave laying around the Zoo bar ! Regards Phil. ------------------------------------- When I learn new stuff, it pushes the old stuff out of my brain!
