h4w h4w h4w Wingnut, are you sure you aren't a sailor!? You had some, uh... "choice" words about that opening. I put it up on Pilot Dave's server in the uploads folder. He'll probably put it into the Cutaways folder as soon as he's had a chance to eyeball it.

Holy shit!!!
wingi, just watched your video - forget your first, when we get to Texel I am buying you some seriously serious alcohol at the bar! That decision on whether or not to chop that bust main could not have been easy - but you had the balls to make the right one! Well done dude!

Hey Wingnut,
No problem. No, I didn't get the 'big' vid, try resending it again.
BTW, good job man, good to see emergency procedures smoothly executed. Beers to ya if you're ever in Northern California.
Anyone here Jump near London or the Isle of Wight? I will be there in August and hope to get a day or two of jumping in w/ my girlfriend Justine and her dad......
Blues,
Jack

"Shi*! Motherfucke*! That fuckin* hurt like a bitc*!"
Truer words were never spoken.
Seriously, seeing that video was better preparation than any amount of FJC lecturing. If you're ever in the neighborhood of Shaw AFB look me up and I'll buy you a beer or three.

hey-
no problem man, if you wanna keep sending me stuff, I'll keep posting it for you. Maybe I can make a page called 'wingnuts corner' or something. As you can tell, I'm not much of a web-designer, but hey, it works for me......
We might just have to hook up for some jumps and beers when I'm out that way this summer!!!

Hi Jack
No worries on that front mate. I live in London and jump at a DZ called Langar 2 hours north of London. I work from Sundays to Thursdays, so I drive up to Langar on Thursday evenings on my own - so I can give the three of you a lift up as well.

Hey, thanks for spreading the word. My server will be going down on the 21st until September. It'll hopefully be back up at the same IP address right around September 1st. A few people have said they'll take over my site for the summer but i haven't heard of any that are up yet.
By the way, that's a great video! See ya,
David

Those are kickass vids Wingnut! Wow! And those are your first times flying a camera? Now you got me looking forward to when I can try it one day even more!
Glad to know you are okay! Pretty sore, I'd imagine though.

How do I know...? Got my t-shirt yesterday!!!
Very cool Precision...a free t, a free pin, and free lifesavers!!!!! For that reason alone, i would look forward to a reserve ride (only under good circumstances!! - if there is such a thing)

Skreamer--
I'm not exactly sure what dates we will have free when we are there--lots of 'relative work' to be done, but hopefully we might be able to hook up!!! Do you know what will be required of us to be able to jump there? Hopefully we will have out USPA A license's by then (we're going through AFF right now, hopefully finish this or next weekend), but if we're 'off student status' and not yet licenced, will we be able to jump???
oh yeah- We'll be in London August 10-11th the Isle of Wight 12-13th then we have the 13th and 14th free and prolly the 19th thru the 21st. (this is all speculative tho, this trip unfortunately isn't planned around jumping!!
hopefully we can pull something off!!
Blues,
Jack

well i'm jumping a paramount "lite" helmet with an old (but small) GE 8mm camcorder.the camcorder sucks real bad, no lcd screen at all(even in the eyepeice). it was 50 bucks from a friend so i went for it. if i ever have to cut it away i'm not gona cry about it being smashed...the helet is very basic but does it's job. if i got to try a little better helmet i bet i probly wouldn't wnat to to jump the "lite" again, but for the money it is fine....
