  1. 4th jump i dislocated my left arm because i pumped the toggles that hard thinking my parachute was not opening right.At that low jump number at that time a snivel was a big thing and it shit me up. I steered both toggles with right hand and hit the deck not to bad under a large canopy. Out of action for 10 months, after speaking to everyone i could find how had dislocated in the sport i came to the conclusion that surgery is the very last resort. i went in the tunnel before i jumped again to give myself the confidence that my arm was going to be OK. YeHaaaaaaaaaaa

  7. I have a query I did my first tube jump last week and all was good. After talking to a few guys about tube jumping and seeing the video it came apparent that the tube i jumped spun in the air flow , it was allowed to do this by a connection between the handle and the tube . Now some of the guys said they had jumped tubes that could not spin due to the handle being connected directly to the tube's base ring . After thinking about it would a spinning tube not be the best idea?? all input welcome before i jump it again
  8. Thanks for that you could'nt post a link here to that info could you please, i can't find it !!!!! YeHaaaaaaaaaaa
  9. Thanks for the info as i am about to get a tg3 and would be really upset if i didn't know before hand i would need new editing software . so i am now thinking we should get a list of software that would be suitable for the tg3 footage editing that is mts/m2ts friendly ( or should it be AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition friendly)) it sound like we could start with SONY VEGAS YeHaaaaaaaaaaa
  10. The info came direct from a UK Sony center but hay i did think the guy was talking for the sake of it and not because he new to much about future products. I am thinking it is rubbish as someone on here would of also heard that. YeHaaaaaaaaaaa
  11. Don't know if this is true but i have just been told Sony are bringing out a new camcorder like the TG3 but with a thread for fitting a lens at the end of Aug/Sept ?? Does anyone know if this is true ?? YeHaaaaaaaaaaa
  12. OK i know we have had the 'what camcorder should i use' question lots of times but what i want to know is 'WHAT DO YOU CAMERA FLYERS WANT, what is important to you when making that investment ?? size ? DV in/out ? Mini DV ? Lanc port ? etc . any features you want to see If i can get as much feed back as possible it would be much appreciated and hopefully beneficial to our community once i have finished collecting all the info i can . thanks guys
  13. I just came across this new fella TONYFLY CC1 HELMET Has anybody got one and if so what do you think?? The idea looks great and i was on the brink of ordering another helmet untill i saw this. If you watch the video, how many people out there use a bullet cam as illustrated as a top fitting and if so which one do you use, whats the quality like in comparison to a side / top mount sony pc1000e YeHaaaaaaaaaaa
  14. i'll start it off The three wise men arrived to visit the child lying in the manger. One of the wise men was exceptionally tall and bumped his head on the low doorway as he entered the stable. ‘Jesus Christ!’ he exclaimed. Joseph said, ‘Write that down, Mary; it's better than Clyde!’ YeHaaaaaaaaaaa
  15. I put it together , the error is all my own . the reason i confessed my mistake was to make anyone who could be in the same situation to think about it and CHECK ...... YeHaaaaaaaaaaa
  16. Self confession I did a jump last week , great skydive good opening until i released my brakes and pumped them to check my lines my right hand toggle came off in my hand, canopy was flying correctly and i had time to get the feel of what input i needed to use my rear risers to land with. Landed OK with a little to much input and just staled a little. Upon inspection of my rig there was no snapped line . what it turned out to be was the brake lines had been finger trapped but not stitched or tied in a Knot to prevent them from coming loose . the right hand line was the same and just pulled apart very easy. that was approx my 20th jump with my brake lines like that . This was a brand new canopy and i was unaware of what i had done. i was lucky and embarrassed as i like to think i am safety conscious lessons learned. YeHaaaaaaaaaaa

  21. so the slider when collapsed should be stowed ?...... when i pull it down to about my neck line it always comes back up a bit to the top of my head and flaps , I've seen people with elastic bands around there reserve top flap they pull there slider through but not tyred this myself as I've not really spoke to anyone about it . but now with the comment earlier about if you collapse your slider and don't stow it (which is what I've been doing ) i would like to be enlightened on the subject .. so please bring it on :-) YeHaaaaaaaaaaa
