  1. Dude, When I started shooting video I had to make my own mount to hold a camera. Why are you whining about a flash mount. David
  2. Try the Wings rings are at the right place and is very confortable. David
  3. Yes I read what you had to say but you have to consider the dumbasses out there that don't know a thing about a pattern or what it is. I come from a single 182 dz but jump in Eloy now, God anyone can jump now. It's not just Eloy but the total lack of training anymore everywhere. David
  4. As I learned the low mam has the right away you have to take into acount the people that don't do it as we were taught sorry but I may be taking the recent eloy things in account. David
  5. Dude this whole thread is out of hand, yes we lost someone that a lot of people cared about, but he was in the wrong as learned in fjc low man has the rightaway. It don't matter. I swoop myself, alaways look out for the other person.... David
  6. FJC low man has the right away.. I swoop myself but that is the rule I learned in FJC. David
  7. That was back in the old days at a outlaw dz. I don't think that would be going on any more with pro ratings required for most demos. David
  8. 1600 on my first demo jump at night, winds were 20-30 had line twist approx 4, fixed it riser dived to make the 45 yardline was to hit the 50. Not so bad I only had 119 jumps. David
  9. If you think it is too loud don't use it. Today we have way too many jumpers that won't jump without a add or audible alti what a bunch of whimps.When I got my first audio it was because I coulden't afford an AAD 10years later I still don't need one, and don't use an audio alti,I use my eyes and my internal time clock,so far so good. David
  10. Ok great you proved you can go a long time without drinking. You don't have a problem anymore. Have a beer and prove you can drink responsibly. If it becomes a problem, then quit again. Flame away, kids ---------------------------------------------------------- Cocheese, that is what I did around 3 years ago. I had 10 years in had 1 beer and have lived the nightmare once again. Right now I have quit jumping for the last 3 months until I am sober again. David
  11. I myself do not think you should make a statement that a crossfire at light wing loadings is not dangerous. I lost a friend of mine with at a less than a .90 wing loading under a square f-111 canopy. shit happens. David
  12. Hi I am a rigger that owns a wings they are not that difficult to pack, it took me about 6 pack jobs to get it down pat. Not a problem now, but it is the most comfortable rig under canopy you can find. David
  13. Hi, my partner at work has just started racing quads he says there are 3 classes beginner,novice expert why should swooping be any different David
  14. 1500 feet on a demo jump 30 mph ground winds night jump into a football field 119 jumps and 3 line twist, but hey I landed on the 50 yard line. Yes not the smartest thing but when you get invited on a demo at 119 jumps you don't always do the right thing. David
  15. Hi brick you may want to try installing 2 to 1s on your front risers they will make your riser pressure much lighter. David
  16. I had a instructor who said to me once you leave the plane you have committed suicide it's up to you to save your ass, of course this was 10 years ago. David
  17. I tell everyone it is all about risk management. I pack my own reserve if it don't work it's my own damn fault. David
  18. I think you are talking about static line or aff a lot of DZs do that but not tandems. David
  19. My first interest in skydiving was after watching point break but never thought about doing it. I was at a bar and they had some skydiving pamphlets took one called the DZ been jumping ever since. David
  20. Hi, James I was very nervous on my first 2 jumps after a mal and I have 879 jumps it's human nature try to get through it as best as you can. David
  21. Hi when I was unemployed I was a professional video dude, the pay sucked I could just barely pay the bills but what the hell I was jumping for a living for 3 months at a 182 DZ. David
  22. My first rig was paid for by the sell of my bass boat my second and third rigs were paid for in cash. David
