  1. I don't know much about the local DZ. I don't have my own camera ATM nor a laptop or easily portable storage device to grab video. They charge $100 a jump to videotape someone jumping. As far as what I can handle, I am used to MPEG, AVI and WMV though prefer not to use WMV. I've never dealt with DV PAL, not really sure what it is. But if it is a new file type Im sure something can be found to either read it or convert it. Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  2. Ok I know this might be a long shot, but I will never know the answer unless I ask. Here's the deal. I'm still saving up to get licensed to jump, then I will have to save for my gear then for my camera gear. This will probably be a while considering my income. But I own a computer and have access to video editing program(s). The catch? I have no video. So I thought perhaps I could post on the forums and maybe some of you might have video that you either don't know how to edit into a jump video or raw footage you used for a jump video that you might let me play around with. My stipulations: 1.) I will not be using any of the videos for profit. 2.) If provided I will give credit to the featured jumpers and cameraperson(s) that shot the video. 3.) If requested I will give you a copy. All I ask is for some video and/or stillshots to play around with and permission to show it off to my friends. Both to show them the creativeness in my work and the joys of skydiving. (Yeah, Im working on converts even though Im not a licensed jumper yet.) Thanks, Jeff Feel free to instant message me with questions/concerns or to set up sending video. Or E-mail me at [email protected] Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  3. Ahh hell. If you guys don't mind someone who hasn't actually begun jumping yet: www.myspace.com/gothicmind Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  4. I don't know. I've dated a few hot party girls. They were rag dolls in bed. Good looking but not really good for much more than just laying there. Rather me a average looking woman that knows how to work it. Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  5. There were actually dolphins in the jug? I couldn't find any, did anyone actually see any dolphins? Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  6. lol mabye his dick got photographed on the down-flap. Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  7. Depends on what you are talking about. If someone comes out saying, "He/she abuses me." Then yes trial. If the police are called and they show up and some woman is cowering in a corner with a broken and bloodied face and the man is outside pacing with blood on his fist, then no. I have personally been to accident scenes where a drunk driver has been in an accident, part of a family of 5 killed, yet this drunk guy hardly has a scratch. Let me tell you, I sure as hell wished that a sawed off shotgun was part of a standard ambulance load-out. Not that being drunk is bad. Just don't drive. The justice system is over-rated. Guilty people go free because of stupid shit like a police officer taking his eyes off of a gun that was used in a crime. Mishandling of evidence. Breaking the chain of accountability I think it is called? But yeah, some things are just so damned obvious that no trial should be necessary.

  8. I disagree to some extend. Spouses who abuse their significant other, drunk drivers that kill people and the like should be shot on the spot. However, rapists and child molesters, should be given the the childs mother for punishment. Unless of course she was in on the deal in which case, shoot 'em. But if mommy is allowed to do whatever she pleases to the perp, then I think that would be a better punishment. Or even dad for that case. I couldn't even begin to describe the torture I would put a man through if I had a daughter and found him to be molesting her. Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  9. Eh I refuse to pay a website for those kinds of services. Especially when nothing is guaranteed, which they CAN't guarantee anything. However plentyoffish.com is free and is a decent website IMO. Though I've had no luck. But Im just unattractive in so many ways. It's hard to find a lady that like being spanked. Umm I think I'll shut up now. Plentyoffish.com or collarme.com if your into that kind of stuff. Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  10. God that is worse than that chick that was calling me her boyfriend an hour after meeting me. She was super psycho. I had to tell her never to speak to me again the second day I knew her. We had spent a total time of about 3 hours together and I was finding notes on my door saying shit like, "Slit my wrists, call me if you care." Of course being an EMT I had to make sure she was ok, weren't even scratches on her wrist. I was like, "Get the f*** out of here and don't ever talk to me again." She started cryng about how I should give her another chance, we can work things out and stuff. Thank goodness she never went to a tarot reader.

  11. Is he mad because he is worried about you jumping out of possibly malfunction airplanes and is afraid you'll get hurt? Or are you guys upset simply because you don't spend as much time together as you would like to? If he is worth it, then you could work something out. He probably cannot change the fact that he works all week, gotta make money to live in this world. However, if he really means anything to you, you could, pardon the blasphemy, not skydive -cringe- once in a while and spend some time with him. However, if it is because he is worried you will get hurt while skydiving and can't accept that you are being as safe as you can, dump his (explicit)! I haven't even started my jump training, I am saving up for it. This girl I am interested in says she doesn't think she could handle me jumping out of planes. I told her either get used to it, or we won't be able to move past friendship status. I can always find another girl, but there is only one sport where I get to fall at over 120mph that is named skydiving. Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.

    That was sweet. It amazes me how you guys can jump outta planes but when there is large portions of flesh being cut off you get squeamish. Ok so there really isn't any relation. I wish they showed how it looked after it healed rather than ending where they did. I've thought about getting a chain branding on my arm. I didn't find that video gross, as a matter of fact I enjoyed my cherry yogurt while watching it. Of course I am one of those Emotionally & Mentally Traumatized people. Or EMT for short.

  13. When I did my tandem earlier this month I had the exact same responses. From EVERYONE, except one person. My friend in Germany said, "Why would you want to jump out of a still functional airplane?" Guess in Germany they only have still functional instead of perfectly good. I dunno. Jodans I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.
  14. I live in Vancouver, Washington. Might as well call it Portland. I have done one tandem. That tandem was on 6-3-06 and it was a 'Lets go skydiving this weekend, that seems so cool' kind of deal. Basically the instructionless strap on, jump out, have a nice day thing. But it ended up being much more than that. I'm hooked and so is the friend I went with. My goals are to learn how to skydive safely, become knowledgable enough that I am comfortable with my gear and skills. I'm the kind of person that if an emergency happens, I do not panic. Unless I have no idea about the equipment I have. But I also work a 40-hour a week low-paying dead end job. So I need to also keep in mind the costs. In all reality, I would like to make a career out of jumping. Personally I am leaning towards videographer maybe even instructor down the line. The only real drawback I have is I will probably be that guy that 10 years down the line and X,000 jumps later, still has to be pushed out of the airplane.

  15. Ok so I went on the carnival ride. The tandem jump. Now I am interested in really jumping. So, pardon me if I start some sort of war here, but what would you guys say is the best route to learning? AFF, Tandem or static line? Are there any other options out there? What are the pros and cons of these training types? What are your opinions on them? I want to learn what I need to know to have fun, be safe and live to jump again.
