"Me too! It's now my myspace profile pic" Nice! Glad you liked it

I love this sport! :5:1 First night jump so I surely owe beers, 4 awesome freeflys Lots of great skydiving videos to end the weekend off with

Thanks Bev, groupie And Peej in true communicator style, your Happy Birthday email is on its way

Hip hip Hooray!!! ;-) Happy Birthday Peej

0: 10: 1 Nine great freefly skydives, did my first 4way formation camera 'attempt' (Those wings have a mind of their own) and got my Cat III in Freefly Damn...I love this sport

haha... "at monarti"... I wish, most probably Im zooming forward with my hips bent. Again as I said, a good challenge

Head down certainly doesnt seem like something you just 'get right' straight away... One of the main ways Ive been told to get good at it (if you aint got any tunnels near by) is to jump, jump and jump. Obviously if you got someone good at it to hold you in place thats also an advantage Im nowhere near getting it right yet although the solos are lots of fun and amusing- almost feels like I bend my hips too much and go 'at monarti'... Thats when a transition into a sit becomes a relief...

Leave a copy in the video shop for me!

Thanks all so much for some great tips. The 'firing a pistol' method has already shown a big improvement...Im getting a much steadier shot. Oh and thanx to the canopy pilots who are giving me the material to work with!

Great thanks, The filming Ive been doing has been handheld (I have a small / light camera) and I have been getting the whole swoop and ducking on a few occasions

Lekker lekker! Thanx Peej

Hi there, Im may have needed to post this query in photography but was wondering if anyone can give me some good tips/advice on filming swooping. Im planning to get some great footage of canopy pilots/competitors and would love any tips from those who have managed to acquire this skill or have learnt from those who have? I have a broadcast quality camcorder and a tripod as my starting blocks... Id be very gratefull for any tricks of the trade

Thanks I'll definately go and look for better options and find the right type I love the fact that skydiving is helping me find the right contact lenses - gonna be fun explaining the observations to my whuffo eye doctor
