if anyone is coming from somewhere that sells go-fast, and could get me a case or two, please pm me and we'll figure out the details. i love the stuff, but can't get it in canada. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001

i like nascar, but hate the superspeedways. i mean, when someone wins a super bowl or world series, everyone knows who they are. granted, daytona isn't a championship, but shouldn't people have actually heard of the winner? my first thought was 'who the hell is trevor bayne?' he was good enough and lucky enough to put himself in a position to win, but it's a crap shoot. tony stewart was 2nd with 2 laps to go and ended up somewhere back around 12th. i'm glad it's over, now the racing can start.

You are encouraged to bring your own beer and to bring enough to share with the whole class. i did, and i will again. if i could bring a keg, i would. problem is, it would cost a small fortune in keg rental.

i've never met him, but from what i've read, it's either him or someone stole his shirt. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001

i think i saw somewhere (but i might have made it up) that because this 3d camera uses two separate high def sensors it is essentially two cameras in one box, and that if you were shooting 2d video (in full high def), the other camera was free to do stills. if true, very cool, but the ois makes it kinda out of the question for jumping.

they have a high def model out now http://www.vio-pov.com/products-all/pov-hd.html. even their own sample footage looks jerky though. too bad, nice form factor. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001

i see where the gps model will have (maybe already has) bluetooth. this will be used in an upcoming iOS/Android app to use the phone as a live viewfinder and to change camera settings. if it would also allow playback on iOS/Android stuff, that would be cool. instant playback on a tablet?

since the op is a relatively new jumper, all discussions of airlocks vs cross braced are not what he was looking for. i went from a sabre 1 190 (about 100 jumps) to a lotus 170 (~350 so far) and other than the fact that it was a little more sporty (due to the downsize) there wasn't a big change. watching other canopies come in on days where the winds are a bit weird, you see a lot of accordion-ing out of regular canopies while my airlock just sort of bumps through it, like going over a speed bump in a parking lot. it can be a bit of a challenge on the ground, but what i do is let it land on it's nose, then walk towards it, on the bridle. give it a couple of shakes and it's not bad. openings i find really long (~900 ft) and kind of unpredictable. i've never had line twists, but i'm almost always off heading. usually 90 one way or the other, occasionally a 180, sometimes a complete 360. i got slammed once, not hard enough to break anything but i was done for the day. it's been very consistent in this even with different packing methods. once it's open, it's a very nice canopy to fly. harness turns are nice, glide is amazing, tons of flare power. front riser pressure is on the high side, so if you're trying to swoop you have to go from brakes to risers pretty quick or you'll be doing a chin-up. if it were available, my next canopy would be a samurai, either the same size or one step down. since that's not really an option, i'll probably keep my lotus.

my bad. i just found the video kinda funny/sad. i should have figured it would go sideways, but since i don't play in speaker's corner, i never thought to put it here. it's here now, so i guess it's home.

N/A

they seem to be doing it often enough these days. in the last week or so there's the story of the flight attendant having to remove her breast prostheis, the guy with the leakage from his pee-bag after a frisking, the kid who had to remove his shirt, etc. etc.... today, mythbuster's Adam Savage has a story.

Keith looks much more dried up than that dude!! right group, wrong guy. i think it's ron wood. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001

that's unpossible. i counted at least 6 blatant violations of the laws of physics. edited to add

i was told that even when it's done properly, you are stressing that area of the canopy and even if there was no damage, you are creating a weak spot. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001

a good way to do that might be to ammend tso requirments to include submitting sbs to a central, accessible location. i know that wouldn't cover everything, but it would be a good start. after all, it would just be another recipient of the bulletin, no real extra work required. of course, this would mean involving the faa and they would probably spend years drafting the regulations.

i love the not buying batteries bit. i only use boot camp vs. parallels because it is free. bad enough i had to scrounge up an xp2 disk. i do wish they would come up with a mac version of the software. as much as i hate anything to do with java, this might be a good use for it.

that works great until you need to update the firmware. i have a bare install of windows xp installed with boot camp on my macbook to do that, but i keep paralog on the mac partition. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
