ASTKU

ok. got a rental car. now, does anyone need a ride?

yep. exactly. this would only work if it was mutually advantageous for both people. i didn't think it would happen but thought it wouldn't hurt to try. and obviously I would pay for gas etc.

I'll probably rent a car or take the train but was wondering if anybody is going from Austin to DFW on Monday morning March 11th. I'm down for a bit of tunnel action and it was way cheaper to fly out off DFW. blue skies. thanks

get the suit you want now (belly suit)..... then when you wanna try to backfly/sitfly/freefly wear a long sleeve shirt and pants until you can save for a FIREFLY suit. which in my opinion are the best/cheapest. And they are great. Mine has lasted over 600 jumps. I did however just order an awesome vertical suit for the wind tunnel, yay! good luck

Of those three; My money would go to Vertical Suits, they seem to hold up the best. Plus I've heard multiple friends not happy with their liquidsky.... My money HAS been going to FireFly! Definitely the best-cheapest! Either way customer service seems to be great with all of these companies (from what I've seen/heard).

You should Be making this trip too amigo!

Spaceland for serious team environment, houston for more laid back dz. More stuff going on in spaceland but I prefer skydive houston.... kinda like perris vs.elsinore to me. It just depends.....

I'm just more of a dirty pirate gigolo..... maybe a dirty pirate man-whore..... Never been called a hooker ;)

Well, I dont think I fit all the requirements..... I AM a dirty pirate though!

Wow! I am super stoked for this event!! And apparently I am going to see some dirty pirate hookers, SWEET!! I do have a question though ---> Do pirate hookers freefly??

Yahtzee! Used some wire cutters and a couple of good snaps was all it took! Thanks

It's not rubber its plastic so I don't think an exacto will do it. I don't care about putting the door back on. Tearing it off is probably more in line with that thinking but I am just worried about damaging the frame of the camera or exposing something..?.?..

Got mine used (supposedly only 5 times) for $220 Working great so far!!

Recently upgraded from a mini-dv Sony to a CX-110.... Replaced the old box with a new cookie cage which was very easy. Now I am trying to hook up my mini hypeye. Multiple issues, first being due to the fact that the half moon connecting spot is now on the side of the camcorder instead of the back. This just means I need to do some more drilling but what I realize is that there is not enough space (between helmet and CX) for the little door to open that will eventually give me access to the half moon connector. Anyone know how to remove this door without breaking it?? Any other suggestions?? Thanks!

I read that thinking there might be a question..?..? I've met Sam and would agree he is a nice guy. Get your AFF on!!!!!!

35 days and counting!!!!!!

I'm gonna be there too.... I used to live in Longmont/boulder and there is a good group of jumpers but it does thin out in the winter. If it is 32degrees on the ground and there are enough jumpers they will jump.... They have c206, king air, and twin otter!! I plan on jumping and tunnel action :)

So awesome! thanks for posting

Cool! I may be there. Maybe the week after. Too bad it can't be a record :(

I was quite impressed with the girls that work in Lodi.... Eloy can be good, too

Ok dude, it's been over 5 years since your initial quest??? What were your results so far??

I have about 20 minutes on my back in the tunnel and overall around 600 jumps.... I can fly around on my back fairly well. I can stay under a belly formation or a tracking group and I have even docked on my back... I'm not saying I could be on this big ass back fly formation but I think people with this goal in mind could do it with a lot less than 100 hours of tunnel time. I'll also add that I think a skydiver (speaking in generalities) would have more range of speed in a backfly than on your belly. What do you think? Would you agree??

I once saw a video (I tried to find it but couldn't) of a 4-way team that did an entire routine on their back. They must have turned something like 15 points. So a 4-way team (airspeed) has done 50 points on a jump and the record for biggest formation is a 400 way.... I have seen people turning something like 15 points on their back the whole time, so I would think a 20 way back fly was definitely possible... Let's go practice!!

I've gotten some amazing warnings... I mean like shoulda been arrested, shoulda lost my license, shoulda been beat by cops.... Lotsa good stories of "getting away with it" On the other hand I have been arrested a couple times and gotten quite a few speeding tickets....

I tried it with the same SD card in SD and got the same results (trying to confuse you, hehe). Threw in a different SD card and it "seems" to work perfectly.... Woohoo!! Thanks DSE & Cueb
