E150 0 #51 April 15, 2002 Nice one Will. Congrats on the 200th, FF1 and tandem lurking (I'm hoping to do that soon). ?: 5: 1First Camera jump - loved it! Realised just how much there is to learn and how hard it is to be a 'really good' camerman. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #52 April 15, 2002 Thanks Jo! Do you have your own camera or did you borrow? I've got a PC9 but am still waiting for my Steve Swain FF2 - yeeehaaaa!!! "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E150 0 #55 April 15, 2002 Hey Will, You have your own PC9, thats cool. Good luck on getting FF2. I'm borrowing a side mount (Gary's Sony). I figuered it best to get practice and see just how far I want to take it before buying my own.Think I would get a top mount. Would like a helmet that could take video and stills on top (I think) . . . early days, who knows. Got to sort out my deployment right now. Last 4 out of 5 camera jump openings have been spunky (they are usually so sweet)! Rocked me about like I was on a boat! Think I'm doing something funny with my body position. Can;t work out what :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #56 April 15, 2002 Hee hee, I like the way you think! Bash the crap out of Gary's camera and then when you know your shit you can buy your own!!! You gonna have a go with his big 3-chip anytime soon? "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #62 April 15, 2002 Oh my! Goodness, what would have happened if I posted the unzipped picture you all wanted?I think someone needs to figure out our humps:jumps ratio, and see what our percentages are. It looked a little sad last weekend for the majority of us!AndreaI'm high as a kiteI just mightStop and check you out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyguy 0 #63 April 15, 2002 It is all sad. You guys need a little study in SS, to get out of AFC land so you can hang with the HB's and get those first numbers up to at least equal the numbers the girls are putting up.I am a RAFC buy the way, but the force is strong, and I try hard to avoid the dark side. Which is actually a weakness. Must be strong...Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbunky 3 #64 April 15, 2002 move further north, that way you would get an off-season where there's nothing much to do but work on the first number! individual weekends would be a little uneven, but an average over a year would look pretty good! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~bunkyget crazy, before it gets you.

billvon 2,991 #70 April 15, 2002 3:0:0Went hiking in the desert. We had grand plans for a beer airdrop, but that didn't work out when our pilot chickened out. Instead, we did a 1 mile hike in from a jeep trail and cached a keg of beer and 6 gallons of water near the campsite - it was going to be a suprise.That didn't quite work out either. Some of the hikers pooped out around 3 miles from the cache, and we ended up camping too far away to go and get it. Amy and I hiked out down the jeep trail the next day, but we left the beer and water for the next hike.So if anyone's out hiking in the Anza Borrego desert and happens to come across a buried keg of beer, you'll know who to thank.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
