cannot say, but doubt it. If you have some other people that can get it later from the us presumably cheaper than your own country, then why not wait. But i would consider getting used 2 or 3. I bought a used gopro1 when 2 came up, but i was low on cash. Obviously the leap in image quality isn't as massive between 2, 3 and 3+.

Trust me, little numbness or discomfort after few minutes of cold doesnt do any real damage. Just keep em warm (you can wear gloves inside too or use warm bottles, have helped me with minor frostbites). And get a warm pair of gloves for next time, number one accessory for winter jumps. I would rather wear nothing under my jumpsuit and real good gloves than no gloves and a lot of other clothing.

Problem is often too wide an angle, no zoom (well, i think one shouldn't use that anyway, at least not while filming) and lack of LCD-screen or viewfinder and sound quality. Depends on what you'd be using it for, gopro without housing works great for close up ground action (you meant home porn, right?)

seriously dude. I understand sampling without asking is ethiquette flaw, but having it taken back for it is way worse and plain bad behaviour by you. The other one didn't mean offense to you, but you did to her. Simple "I appreciate being asked before my food is being touched" should suffice. And to be honest, on a date I would just let it slide. Life is much more fun when you don't make a huge deal out of something so small.

After reading the first post, I was gonna say you need a lot of practice. But in here it seems people will bite even into the most obvious ones. Not much entertainment value though that way.

Havn't made comments for about 300 jumps, except logged the number of students I've taken to the sky. I don't really see a point in writing stories into logbook as I can't see myself reading these logbooks at later time anyway.. Maybe if there's something really different I might mention it, but I believe it's still for nothing.

I like cake, I love it. I've eaten a lot of cake, and I can't help but wonder what else is good besides cake. For those of you that are versed in variety of foods, tell me what I'd like besides cake. Maybe search, or at least some specificity in my questions?

I would suggest L&B Optima or solo as audible. Depending on wether or not you wish to have alarms under canopy. May or may not be useful to you. Very accurate and reliable, batteries last for a year or so. N3 or pro track if you want some freefall speeds or similar, but you'll get bored with that stuff quite soon anyway.. Analog altimeter wrist mounted would be my choise for primary alti. Many good brands around. Digital altis take too much time to read imo. Altitrack would work too and again you get some geek stuff with it.. And more batteries to change.

Bridle length is an issue too. Never got a hesitation with ws modded mirage(longer briddle included), but with standard short bridle i've gotten a few.

Wouldn't want to jump out a caravan that's still climbing.. And wouldn't.

I was thinking this, but couldn't put it into words. I agree completely. [edit for typo]

It sucks when ex's start to pile up at the dz. :D Depends on the person and how one can manage being in contact with one's ex often. Probably a bad idea if you work there.

my personal limit is 30 mins a day. I've done 40min a few times, but the last 10min of the day is hard. Though, if it's spread throughout the day it's better. My first camp was 1,5 hours in 3 days, no complaints but was still sore afterwards. I think that's plenty for the first camp, I wouldn't do more. Just do another trip later You'll probably end up doing it anyway so don't take the fun out of it for no reason..

You don't "master the turn" if you need "practice with gates", imo.

Looks like you already know the answer. Get the Sabre 2. I don't think you can get anything with longer recovery arc with "non elliptical" designs. Flied great with 1.4-1.6 wl.

I'd say depends on how much tunnel time you'r getting. I have something like 4 hours of tunnel time with my current suit, and there's wear already I myself am probably getting a tunnel suit (for sky too) next.

I also like putting chemicals all over my canopy I wasn't suggesting you to use acid to do that.. :)

34 weeks...

I too think that kind of ban promotes premature downsizing.. Theres only so much speed one can get out of a 90'. ...edited for writer's preview ability limitations..

I think it's most likely a body position issue.. I find that many canopies need tiny amount of harness input (even the sabre2 150 i used to have) to keep perfect heading. Subterm opening doesnt cause off heading. Except for me once due uneven shoulder flap release (caused line twists, checked from video :)

You didn't answer me. Why would you want to speed up the openings on a hop n pop? What's the problem with waiting extra 100 feet for the opening? Just get used to it. Don't make a problem out of something that's not.

that's so small i'd just keep an eye for it in case it starts to get bigger. You can mark it like 1 or 2 squares away from the edges with some kind of ink, makes it easier to find.

Why would you want to speed up the subterminal opening? Enjoy them

How refreshing...disagreement without bashing. OK..zp is zp. IMO, the "roughing up" of the canopy material and it's effects on airflow over it would be so minimal it would be noticeable only to somebody like Brian Germaine. Maybe the physicists in here could shoot that down but I don't think so. . So over the life of a canopy, the zero-perosity fabric remains zero-perosity? Why is it then that if a canopy gets wet and doesn't dry properly that it can affect it's flight characteristics. If the ZP canopy could change it's flight characteristics based on it getting wet then should that mean that it is not entirely un-alterable ZP? Keep in mind that the definition of ZP fabric means that the fabric is 100% air and water resistant. You can easily check how well it's air proof. Just take a part of it and take it to your mouth and blow (that's what she said). I have tried that with pretty old canopies and havn't been able to get any air through. The color difference is due the UV-radiation fading the dye, it hasn't necessarily affected the porosity. If you take a brand new white canopy, the fabric pretty much see through. As to the slipperiness, I don't really see it having too much affect to the flight.

Viso is a dedicated swooping altimeter. Isn't really a great logger, but logs enough for me not to have fill in the logbook right away(freefall time, jump number, time, max speed in freefall and under canopy, the latter one being more useful I think). If you wan't a logger, get an altitrack or N3. If you have no interest in swooping, i'd take altitrack.
