    Like you??? Just words from a starter, however i will not be telling anyone what to do.., but isn't it for people like you that it is Dorkzone? If you won't listen to others, why keep asking questions? Why asking for "APT and USPA rules if you know everything better?? Why is this discussion still going on, as you will never listen to nobody accept the ones who think you are right? Man...

    Not sure, i am just a newbie in the skydiving scenery. Isn't it because of the different federations? (exact like the question: "Why are laws so different in many countries?, because they are different countries and therefore different people?).

    Go to an otorhinolaryngologist.. (Throat, nose and ear doctor) and try to get it in a official statement, so you can prove to your DZ it is allowed and possible on safe terms..

    Fortunately never had a cut away. Not looking forward to have one.. However, it is a little double.. Cause once you had one, you know how it feels.. I can only imagine one now, and have a lot of thoughts how one feel. Ones you had one, maybe the experience will teach you how it feels so i won't be asking myself how it feels every time i want to jump and trust myself a little bit more on how to handle malfunctions. But, as i said before.. not looking forward to it.

    Because, in a plane crash, if you are not wearing one, you'll probably die and kill others at the same time. Also, when the plain climb to fast (Reach a certain angle), it will keep all at same spot.. Otherwise everybody will be pushed to backside of plain, and then you have all the weight in the tail.. Which mean the plain will crash.

    Not entirely true, as both TMs in the attached pics have received dispensation to continue jumping poles with tandems. Good to know

    There is nothing wrong with the radio.. but if U read the post well, U will figure out it´s the spot where it is mounted on..
  19. ParaStyx
    For those who did not know this in our country (The Netherlands).. But use of a camera with a tandem is only allowed with handycams (As from 13-09-'13), nothing else. So no more poles. Article from KNVvL: http://www.parachute.nl/712.html

    This is due to anti fog lens.. This problem is well known within the paintball scene. The tips are, always clean your visor with only water and maybe just little (PH neutral) soap, nothing more.. Almost any anti fog spray or strong soap will remove the anti fog layer. In some cases, most probably like yours, the layer is not correctly sprayed on the visor, and than you have same problems like U have right now. Only solution will be contacting seller, in this case Cookie.

    Thank U Yvonne! U look familiar by the way.. As i can remember, you are working as manifester/receptionist at Paracentre Teuge? Martijn van Dam (ToraTora) mentioned K'leef earlier, i will certainly contact Jan or Efraïm for some advise! Do you know some cons and pros about full face helmet or an open one? Don't know which one I should choose.. With full face much less noice and cold?? And maybe some condense??

    Finaly..!

    Thank U very much Skymama! I surely am hooked as i'm a adrenaline junky! Already been a paintballer for several years on pro level. Now in for a new and even more thrilling sport! I want to jump 2-3 times a week, as from October it will flinch a little due to less jump (weather). However, i can not wait to make one winter jump.. especially on 1st of January!

    Thank U Shropshire. I know it is allowed in our country to have a full face or open ones. Even without a helmet is allowed, however i feel little more safe with one on my head. Still have to find out what 'B' helmets are, and in which countries they mandatory. Both advises are good ones, did not think about seeing my 3 ring system as well as my ripcord handle. Will surely think about it when i will look for helmet.

    Thanks for the tip Saskia, The Parachute Case has given me plenty advised and already bought gloves and goggle. Will shortly come back for some more advise.
