  1. Anyone ever launch a 6-way tube? We did it by having 2 3-way tubes exit linked. I wish I had video of it but it was just complete insanity once we were out the door.

  2. Not sure if this is the case but I recently read that the way FICO credit scores were calculated is going to change. The new method could have affected your score negatively.

    http://www.bankrate.com/ is a good site for information on all things financial and has some good info on what affects credit scores.

    Other than capture time (which is about to go away soon), I take approx 3 mins per video.



    And how much time is added with the capture and why/how is that about to go away?



    I'd guess the capture time will be going away due to solid state recording. You can simply drag and drop the video file from the camera to the computer, Might take a minute to do so instead of the 7-8 minutes of realtime capturing from tape.

  6. Based on the different types of people I've seen at the dropzones, skydiving will accommodate a wide variety of body types. Don't let that be a deterrent. Second, don't get ahead of yourself with the whole BASE jumping thing. Start with skydiving, maybe do a tandem to begin with, and see if it's what you really want to do. Get a few hundred skydives under your belt before you start thinking about BASE. I too want to try some BASE eventually but I'm heeding the advice of others and waiting until I have more experience. All that said, there's nothing wrong with wanting to pursue the sport. I say go out, make a tandem jump, see if it really is something you will want to continue with, and take it from there. If you have the means to continue then go for it. It's a great sport filled with great people. Good luck to you.
