  1. Hi everyone ! There is almost no post here for the Drift 170HD camera and I wonder if any of you are actually jumping with it or tried it ? As I want to buy a camera soon I also would like to know how it does it compares to the Contour HD (I've already ruled out the GoPro) Thank's Max
  2. Great !! I love that... thank's for the links !! Max
  3. IF you're not happy with it and IF you can, send it back and buy a Mamba... Good looking, all carbone, as reliable as the Z1, no misperfection, no tricky chin pin... for the same price!
  4. I took my weight of my profile because I received a few messages on my WL and I was tired of it. As I said and as I'm saying again... I got the point. (RiggerPaul: You must have been one of the 3 personal posts I had and this is why I haven't answered.) Even if I know that it is for my own good, I'm starting to feel agressed by the repetitiveness (is that even an english word??) of the message. Once would have been enough... Now, I am going to repeat it once again... I'll wait until I feel safe to fly it and when my DZ authorities will agree with it. And yes, I might be tempted to try my rig before I'm ready (anyone would) but this is not the kind of game I like to play. By the way, I haven't bought anything new. It's all used gear and I could easily sell my canopy and buy something else without loosing money. Is there anything more to say that haven't been said yet ?
  5. Ok... Let's calm down !! I'm not saying that I'm going to jump it tomorrow morning. I've did my homeworks. I've asked advices to DZ owners, riggers, experience jumpers... I've bought it and would like to jump it (of course) but I'm not in a hurry. I'll jump bigger canopies until I'm ready for that 150. And I am not the one how's going to decide if I'm ready or not. It's have been discused already with competent persons around me as well as in this forum. I'm having a lot of different opinions and I'm still trying to make my way through that. Thank's for worrying (seriously) and be sure that I take this really seriously. My health is from far more valuable that a canopy !!!
  6. Well, thank's to all for the opinions... What I get out of this is: The rigger I talked with is a PD dealer (thing I already knew), He is certainly a PD snob (Thing I was pretty sure of), Aerodyne is a great company with reliable gear and Pilot is comparable to Sabre2 in terms of performance. If this isn't what you said and if I understood everything wrong, don't tell me. I just bought a Pilot today and I don't want to know it !! . I can't wait to jump my first rig. Since I live in Quebec, Canada it won't be till may so all I can do is cry until then... (If you wonder why, today it's -30C with 40 mph of wind and yesterday, it snowed...) Thanks to all and blue skies... Max
  7. Hummm... I think he's a PD dealer... And yes, now that I think about it, concerning the last questions I asked him, If it's not PD it's cr*p. This could be the reason why.
  8. Hi folks, I'm looking to buy a Sabre2 as a first canopy and asked a rigger about the Pilot from Aerodyne because, as long as I can read here, both looks pretty equivalent. (ya, I know, most of you are gonna say that there is a lot of differences between the two but this is not the point... ) He told me not to buy that, it worth nothing. He added that Aerodyne don't do any really good stuff. "They are trying to get a reputation for years and there is a reason why they don't!" I think that for him, everything is either black or white. But still, I'm wandering why he would say that. I must say that I haven't really heard much about Aerodyne before and I'm thinking; Maybe he's right... So... Do anyone have any idea why one would say that about the Pilot and the company? Thanks Max
  9. Well, I have to admit that I prefer get bored than hurt !! [/crazy] You guys really look anxious... Don't worry, I haven't bought anything yet, that's why I'm asking questions before.
  10. I'm 27 and I'm not a "cowboy" kind skydiver.
  11. Well, I'm not 110 pounds... I'm 195... but I don't have 25 jumps, 90. I'm now jumping a saber 190 (witch I rent) and did few jumps with a saber2 170 during the summer and I felt very confortable with the landings. That's why I'm looking for something lower. I will rapidly be bored with a 170. Thanks to all for the advice, I allready have a clearer idea. Blue skies Max
  12. Hi everyone, I'm looking for my first rig and I've been told that a sabre2 150 would be perfect for me (don't worry, I've asked the right persons). Knowing that one can not always find exactly what he's looking for, I'm searching canopies that can be comparable to de sabre2. I've found on an older post : "intermediate canopies such as spectre, safire 1/2, sabre 1/2, pilot, triathlon, silhouette, fusion. " Are those all more or less comparable? Are there any other that could compare? (Don't loose your time on the spectre, I know that one) Thanks for your advices. Max
