  1. I have an infinity with a pull out. I like it, no velcro it's a tuck tab setup.
  2. ^that If you don't own it or the land it sits on, you really don't have any options other that bugging him to do something.
  3. Whoa! people are still expecting this helmet to actually be produced?!
  4. If I were them i'd fire the marketing guy. Why make a big announcement and then not answer any questions about it or really acknowledge it at all? Can anyone from Aerodyne provide an update or any basic information about this canopy?
  5. It definitely helped my PTSD, if you guys end up at Skydive Twin Cities, look me up.
  6. We've got a local that has made some carbon fiber enclosures for CX cameras top mounted on a mindwarp. I think he goes by skyjumpinfool on here. He may be willing to offer some advice on how to go about making one of your own. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1993216960947&set=t.1404817815&type=3&theater

  8. I picked one up and like it. Turns out the memory card does make a difference when shooting continuous. Using a 20mb/s class 10 UHS-1 card, I got bored holding down the shutter button before it slowed down. I did notice about to "hiccups" where it skipped a beat but then got right back up to 4fps http://www.bhphotovideo.com/indepth/photography/hands-reviews/hands-review-canon-eos-rebel-sl1?BI=2446&KBID=3296
  9. Trunk, (or anyone) so these numbers were given after canon tests with their 8gb SD card. Is there any information available as to continuous shooting or fps using a sandisk extreme pro 95mb/s SD Card? Will a high quality card like that significantly improve performance and buffer clearing?
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6I2LbasaEU This video from canon says they have the same sensor and processor.
  11. Those discounts are generally off the MSRP. Many dealers don't sell at MSRP. Square1 for example sells the Icon pro for 2370 which is $400 below MSRP and the pilot is sold there for $1850, $200 off retail. SO i'd talk either directly to them or discuss pricing options with a local dealer. Edited for spelling
  12. Best possible advise in the first reply.
  13. Although the good beer is usually [read: always] found in bottles, you can fit more in the fridge with cans
  14. Yeah, one of the free flyers who helped organize it said she wanted to turn points. I was skeptical but it turned out awesome. Stay tuned, were gonna experiment with more hybrid stunts
  15. Fun as hell hybrid http://youtu.be/7ZBRXXUdFLg
  16. I know nothing about the subject but saw this on the jump shack site FWIW this URL is the extent of my knowledge. http://www.jumpshack.com/baser.htm
  17. It's kind of a nice problem to have huh? I'm going to make it a point to try and visit all of them this season. However, my biggest draw will be wherever the fun jumping is happening. There's also that otter... But I can't wait to check out the newest place to the north.
  18. I think the military ram airs are a version of the sillouhette. correct me if i'm wrong
  19. The desert wears on gear no matter what the fabric. This is the only case of quick wearing ZPX I have seen after doing a lot of looking around before buying my Pilot this past summer.
  20. There ya go. Thanks for the touch up pops
  21. Search results "cutaway cable cleaning" http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=cutaway%20cable%20cleaning&sb=score&mh=25 Many recomend Food Grade Silicon. Ace seems to be a popular brand. Oil based lubes will attract and hold onto dirt, so maybe no PAM.

  22. Had to ask. I looked at your profile it doesn;t have a location listed. What type of climate do you (and presumably your rigger) jump in? That may have something to do with your rigger's experiences with it.
  23. http://www.flyaerodyne.com/zpx.asp I haven't really seen much abou longevity. They do advertize a higher strength than standard ZP. IS your rigger also your dealer? How does he feel about Aerodyne in general? And does he have any specific examples to back up his claim? ETA: Aerodyne also makes all of their main canopies in standard ZP as well.
