  1. I am trying to figure out how to crop something from one picture and put it into another. How do you do this?
  2. Post: That's great, we'll be doing mucho jumpy jump all weekend then!! Friday will be a rocking start!

  3. Does anyone know a dealer for gatorz sunglasses in georgia, or the best place to buy them? I am looking for the best deal I can get, preferably from an in person dealer.
  4. I have been wondering on this issue..... Both helmets claim to be camera specific, however, on the 2K it seems that the clam shell will accomodate many different camera sizes. It looks as though the only difference is the mounting plate inside the helmet. So if you ever lost or broke your camera and could not replace it with the exact same model all you would have to do is switch the mounting plate. Now on the Rawa, the shell is an extemely tight fit. There is no room to accept a slightly larger camera, so you would be restricted to purchasing cameras the same size or smaller. What do you guys think about this issue?
  5. Also what are the gate heights on this course?
  6. Yeah Kelly made the experience much better. She remained calm for me the whole time. I have to say someone to talk to during a cut-away is a different experience. But the line twists in the reserve did suck. But hey Kelly did great the whgole time. She even offered to drop all of my handles to help me fly the reserve.... Good job Kelly, thanks for going with me. See ya next time.
  7. With your jump numbers and the knolwledge that you will only be able to jump twice a year for two weeks at a time, I would consider not even buying a rig untill that situation can change. First of all each time you come back you are going to have to do a recurrencey jump, which would most likely put you under a student size canopy for that. I would just continue to rent gear untill the time comes when you can really start getting some jumping in.
  8. Toy Fox Terriers can make excellent body guards. Or at least mine can.
  9. Would you take the time to call the DZ he finally gives you, talk to the DZO, and see if the guy was for real? Quote When he wants to have the canopy inspected (as he should) I would be willing to send the canopy to his home DZ. Before I send I do call the DZ to make sure it is not an invalid number. At this time I inform the DZ of what is going on and make sure they are willing to be a third party to the transaction. It is my hope that if the DZ knows the person should not have that canopy they would say something. So yeah, in a round about way I do call the DZ to check him out.
  10. Buying it unseen definately makes sense if he's from overseas If 'the mothering' would go past a certain level, even tho you may mean it well, it would bug me too. Quote The "mothering" did not go anywhere. I simply asked him how many jumps he had and how current he was under his current canopy. I got more emails from him today stating that I should sell it to anyone who wants it and that I wasted his time with all the emails he had to send me. The tone this guy has had the whole time just does not add up. I agree that some information may not be my business, but the info I was asking for is certainly standard and should asked by everyone.
  11. I have been selling a stiletto 170 and recently started getting emails from a guy who wanted to buy it. First he offered trades then offered to buy it unseen. I started wondering if this person was trying to get something he shouldnt have. I asked for his experience and got this reply.... __________________________________________________ you need to have a imfo before you sell it? pay pal...now or never I dont have to give you any imfo,..... do you want to sale it or not __________________________________________________ Remeber when selling gear, you should try as best as you can to keep people safe. Sure someone can lie, but this reply says it all.
  12. When I fly my camera slot I use a wing suit and I use much in the way you have described using your baggy suit. I can get the head down exit and the knee flying at pull time shot all with my camera suit. I like the camera suit because I have all the versatility of the freefly suit plus the range of a camera suit. Its all about learning to fly it. Now if you can do it all in a baggy suit and thats what you are comfortable with then by all means use it. But remember the camera suit can be flown to the same extremes. This is for tandem vids or 4-way only here... I dont use it for FF vids.
  13. This sounds like the culprit. The external comes preformatted as a FAT32 partition. I will have to see what I can do about this. Thanks.
  14. Yeah Ive called a couple doctors I Thanks for the info.
  15. Could be that you are exporting as an uncompressed AVI, which tends to be HUGE in filesize, and usualy quits after it reaches 1 or 2 gigs..? Quote Yes this is the case. But why would it quit after reaching a particular size. Also I have tried several times. When the little export estimated time till finished screen comes up it always says that 179 frames will be exported. This is the strange part. Why exactly 179 frames every time?
  16. Thats awesome!......lol thanks.
  17. cant find this camera on the web site. Any one else tried successfully?
  18. What type of physical do I need to get for the tandem rating. Does this same physical also apply for AFF?
  19. Yep I have an 80gig portable with plenty of available space.
  20. Already checked that. Plus the export setting I am using doesnt reqire that those markers are set. You can export either the workspace which is where you need to set the markers or the entire project in which case it should not matter where they are set. At least this is how I understand it.
  21. I have about a 29 min. video I am working with in premier. I can export it to tape just fine, but when I try to export it as a movie to make an AVI file it only exports the first 179 frames. I can not find anywhere that limits the size to export. I have the settings to export the entire project not just the current workspace so the export should not depend on where I have markers set.
  22. Alright!!!! We have been missing you and your drunken stupers that always make a good laugh. See ya soon!!!
  23. Yes I will be purchasing extras after this. When are you gonna make back down to ATL?
  24. Yeah boobies always make me feel better. And yes I will still be there to help out with the beer consumption. Oh I also forgot to mention I ordered a brand new canopy that should be here for this weekend. Only now I cant jump it.... This keeps getting worse as I continue to run through all of the problems that arises from this one situation. See ya there!!!
  25. go rent a tree shaker. Thats how they get the pecans off those trees. Or better yet climb out on a limb and shake it yourself. But get video.
