  1. You really put a big hook on your leg? Doesn't the Dbag go past your legs until the canopy comes out of the bag? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  2. Exactly. Charles came up with an alternative to using the CX100 for the side mount cards. He has two CX150's in identical boxes for Nationals, they are ran by a Cameye adapter that has has a plug that disconnects so the Cameye stays on the helmet. He is just going to swap cameras so the editor can use the USB port. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  3. I saw a tutorial on this somewhere using small still cameras mounted to a curved board. You also want to tip them up a bit so you don't pick up the flyers on the other side. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  4. I hear these guys are open all year. Illinois Valley Parachute Club Airport (81IL) Lat: 40.4353172 Lng: -89.3592597 Address: P.O. Box 284 Minier, Illinois 61759 United States I believe Archway is open all year also, but that's quite a bit further for you. You need to watch "Cutaway" many times if you haven't already. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  5. Why don't you just use 2 GoPro's side by side? One for stills, one for video. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  6. This is my friend Leighanne, I assume she got this rig used because it is almost as big as she is. Definitely the smallest I've known . "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  7. This Tiffany? It looks like she may be able to stand up in the Otter judging by the mockup. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  8. Basically the Nitro and the Nitron are the same canopy. So no confusion here. Beezy said the only difference is that the Nitro has spanwise reinforcement tape, and the Nitron does not. The Nitro 150 I demoed packed basically the same size as my Nitron 170, probably because of the tape. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  9. SDC Jetstream Tango during the MWSL meet #4 this year. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  10. I agree with most of the comments below it, I like Tarja's version better. This version with Anette sounds a little off. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  11. I've wondered why we haven't had more problems from no cutaway systems on "camera helmet" set ups on full face helmets, or especially side mount ed small format cameras. That Fastec clip is easy to unhook on the ground, but trying to dig it out of your throat so you can try to unbuckle it would suck. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  12. I met her on 9/4/2011 at CSC, and didn't know her on here or facebook, but I did get to spend a few hours talking with her throughout the day. Sad to hear she left us. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  13. Greg from UPT also said there's some variation in the container manufacturing, so two different V348's may not pack the same, even with the same canopies. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  14. 1. Brakes that work, and preferably all 4 of them, not just 2 like my last 2 cars. 2. Windshield washers, it's a real pain to get out and wash them by hand in the winter. 3. A driver side window that rolls all the way up AND down without opening the door to move it manually. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  15. Bob. Actually he was after her grand daughter. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  16. I know they have it there, I would guess they will sell you some since they don't use it for Summerfest. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  17. There is a Walmart about 10 minutes away if you forget anything, and to replace your ice as it melts. The cafe doesn't usually sell ice during Summerfest since they need it for smoothies and stuff. Dinners at the Tiki hut are awesome, and very similar price wise to a regular sit down restraunt. You'll probably want your own food during the day though. Don't forget your phone charger, and camera batteries. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  18. See! It's no problem, he didn't snag his canopy on it at all. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  19. If you post on the skydivechicago.com website, and their facebook page, you may be able to hitch a ride with someone from the city. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  20. Yes. We will see the sun Monday through Friday at 2:00. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  21. I've jumped a rig with no stop on the chest strap, maybe it was a Wings, anyway, it made me real uncomfortable not having it there. You could probably have a master rigger add a stop to it if you don't have one already. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  22. I had the same thing with my Neptune (and another on the same load did the same exact thing), except it was a flyby for the demo we were doing. Landing at -600 feet makes for an interesting graph. The Neptune 1 has a dz offset also. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  23. I don't think I'd go there just yet. He might have forgotten the chest strap. or mis-routed it. I've seen stainless hardware that constantly loosens up. With all the flapping that would happen with the rig falling empty, the leg straps could've worked themselves to the stops on their own. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  24. Why does it have a "Grill" opening? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  25. You must've been mistaken, that could never happen with a CYPRES, they're perfect. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
