  1. i diagree with ceasing communication. i would call local law enforcement, and let them take it. they wont be able to handle it,but they put should give u to someone that can. go after this chump. they should set up a sting and grab him when he goes to pick up the $$$. bastards. dont let life pass you by
  2. it did exactly what it was supposed to do. it fired the cutter. the student failed to pull and died. cypress didnt fail him, the dz didnt fail him. the skydiver failed himself. #@$%#$ . if you want to live without living, try bowling. dont let life pass you by
  3. airtec doesnt have to show any such thing. The student died casue he didnt pull his main.. the student died because he didnt pull his reserve. it is a shame in this country that anyone thinks someone is responsible other than the person who didnt pull. shame on the money grubbing lawyers. shame on the parents for filing this suit. the US legal system sucks to entertain this garbage. i hope you and everyone who thinks like you would get their head out of their ass and wake the F@%#@ up. you are responsible for you.. some little computer 5 seconds from impact isnt going to save you. shame on you if you think it will. nice if it does. and dont whine when it doesnt. dont ruin our amazing life in the sky us cause some fuck up didnt pull. yes i hope the parents read this. i hope the jurors read this. your son died cause he didnt save himself. period. all that is happening here is everyone will pay in some form except the lawyers. dont let life pass you by
  4. kinda tough to grab the toggles in a flat spin, blacked out with your canopy in your container. sure, give it a whirl at 30 jumps. if you could make your gps and camera crater resistant, that would help alot. dont let life pass you by

  12. has anyone proposed on dz.com ? on one knee Skymama will u ................. dont let life pass you by
  13. u also want to consider what your landing area is like. if it is huge wide open grass area, maybe ok. if it is filled with trees and obstructions with a changing direction, maybe not.. turbulence off of objects from wind can be nasty and keep it in mind. better to sit out one day jumping than 3 months in a wheel chair/ crutches/ boot dont let life pass you by
  14. just read some news on this incident. sounds as if amanda has taken a turn for the worst. they have elected to place her on comfort care. best wishes and vibes to the family in this most difficult time after such a long battle. dont let life pass you by

  16. if anyone from the LA area wants to fly up for a jump, i might be inclined to take flight up there :) dont let life pass you by
  17. going to go jump tomorrow in the greater LA area and probably going to fly out of santa monica. anyone want to share costs or PIC time. Can pick up anywhere and Perris, elsinore, or skysb would work. dont let life pass you by
  18. i wear a very similar helmet to that when i base jump, both s/d and terminal. i think u might feel some slight weird drag but it does off the best protection for the weight. u might want to borrow one and try it for a jump to make sure u are ok with the drag. dont let life pass you by
  19. the really funny thing is they are really not spending serious money in the big picture. if you asked a professional photographer to risk his life for the shots and give the customer 100+ high res jpgs, i am damn sure it would be more than 30-40 bucks take home. I do feel the need to give DSLR quality photos, but im not going to roll with a 1D either. being a videot paid for gear, got a ton of jumps, and i had a blast. but know especially when doing 12 jumps a day, 500 to 1000 jumps per year, your neck will feel that extra weight. and so does your pocketbook when buying that high end gear. (when u forget to rachet that chin strap just one time :( ) one setup i had when i wanted to jump all three, was to put the flash on top of the video box. i used industrial velcro and a velcro strap around the box to secure it. it wasnt much higher than the still. and the flash was horiz mounted with access to the buttons. good luck with the setup. dont let life pass you by
  20. make sure you account for your connections with a set up like that before you drill holes. how do u plan to secure the flash like that ? how often are you jumping the flash ? i have found when i am shooting specialty jumps with flash, i just ditch the video anyway. the flash spread with the vertical orientation and the horizontal camera might not be optimal. love the 580 ex II. you will love it. dont let life pass you by
  21. pilots who have dead sticked with jumpers aboard please post how jumpers moving around impacted the flight of the plane and how it impacted the ability to keep the plane flying. I have seen a couple of posts about jumpers getting out without pic consent and curious what the diver drivers who actually have been in this situation feel.. dont let life pass you by
  22. it looked like a line got snagged on the legmount after opening on the first shot.. yikes !!!!! dont let life pass you by
  23. usairnet.com click on aviation forecast , then find your state and nearest city. at the bottom will be a button for the winds aloft. you can also go to aviation weather. there is a couple of charts there but it is a bit harder to read. format is direction, strength and temp. 311005= wind direction 310, strength 10kts, temp is 5 celcius. dont let life pass you by
