mickb 0 #1 June 20, 2003 Finally got around to finishing my ffx made the ring sight mount out of machined stainless (helps being an engineer in a food factory) also machined the cutaway pin from a solid bar flush mounted the cam eye just above the audible pockets. and just got an e mail from Toraji at flyers-pit.com my 0.3 lens is on its way now if only the weather improves just checked the DZ 20mph winds and gusts to 35mph British weather sucks big time Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.

Gadget 0 #2 June 20, 2003 I like the helmet great job.My only concern is the ringsite.It seems to me it has a verry great snagoppertunaty.Other than that great job.If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes???

TattooedMoFo 0 #3 June 20, 2003 Nice job, my only concern would be that cut away ring, that is very loose and very snaggable. You on't want to complete a cool setup to lose it. Maybe a velcro type handle along the side instead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickb 0 #4 June 20, 2003 Good point about the cutaway ring. although its a soft rubber O ring and if i rotate the sping clip it sits flush with the strap. Only on the mark one version at the moment I have still the excess post to remove from the ring sight mount now that its set up that should remove another snag point. Now if only the weather behaves Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed. Michael Pritchard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cajun 0 #5 June 20, 2003 1. Nice helmet. 2. Ugly Ugly Chair. 3. That is the best place I can think of to put the ring sight. "as far from risers as possible" You should be ok, just keep your head on the horizon during opening and you should be fine. If not, that is what the cutaway is for, right?

Chivo 0 #6 June 20, 2003 Nice setup! I wouldn't want to accidentally grab the cutaway ring and lose the helmet. Maybe you can secure it w/velcro? edit: Yep, that is an ugly chair alright! ~Chivo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHixxx 0 #7 June 20, 2003 Looks nice... I put the pin and ring on the inside of my helmet for the cutaway. That makes it less snaggable. -Hixxxdeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chivo 0 #8 June 24, 2003 Can you post a pic of yourself wearing the helmet? ~Chivo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleBadger 0 #9 June 25, 2003 i'd be willing to not mention the chair if you say that you spend all your money on jumping... otherwise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
