  1. I know I've seen threads mentioning this before, but the search here sucks, I can't find it.

    Sometimes as I flip my camera on, it starts shooting continuously. Sometimes 3 shots, sometimes it shoots as though it isn't going to stop. I've tried turning it on/off with the switched plugged/not plugged in, etc.

    Any advice or links to the other threads, thanks

    And has anyone seen this? Still at their mercy.



    This was shown to the TSA agent, and he replied 'I don't care what that says, you're not getting on the plane with the rig.'

    This is where society crumbles, when you aren't going to follow your own rules.

  3. You'll see the visible difference in the forehead area. One has a good 1.5" of a foam front, while the other plastic shell comes all the way down. Can't remember which one is which. The one with foam has a more forgiving angle for your camera for belly jumps.

    Considering that I can fly a crossfire 99 (2.5 WL) with just 25 jumps and swoop the shit out of it....why is the proficiency card required?



    I would love video from the gopro you're wearing also.

  5. I'm gonna be replacing a stroboframe on my rawa with a liquid flatlock. The strobo frame is mounted sideways, but the problem is that a hole for the dplug was made right under the right-rear bolt. The bolt might hit an edge of the hole, which if it hits more than half it's width outside then it would still have some leverage, but what would you do if the bolt runs straight into the hole?

  6. Was wondering if many of you take advantage of this?
    If it can be deemed worthwhile, I was thinking about running a short extension from it to a nice clean surface plug somewhere on the side, back, etc, as I'll have the button flush with the helmet with no easy access to it.

    Anyone have any DIY handywork they'd like to share?

  7. Sometimes, especially on tandems, the student will take a huge gulp inwards from fear, nervousness, whatever it may me.. Then 3 seconds later in freefall they're trying to take a breathe in not knowing their lungs have been at full capacity. They just need to breathe out, so a useful tip is simply to scream!

    However, after reading that you even have problems in front of an air conditioner? That's a problem, and I don't know what to tell you. How much of an adrenaline junkie can you be if you can't breathe?:S

    Don't know who came out with smily face myth, but smily face doesn't do anything, what is important is that tip of the closing pin should clear the bridal. Pull the bridal from the bottom and you'll see that the pin will swing up and around, if the curved pin's tip catches on to the bridal it may lock it in place.



    Sure it does. If you put the pin in a 'frown' face, think about everything you lean up against with your rig on. The plane, the persons lap or leg behind you, etc. If it's facing down it's easier for it to be popped out than the 'smiley' face as the pressure would simply push up on it but not out with that orientation.
