I like. $75.00 is a great price and the helmet looks as safe as the paratec. One may have to call chutingstar for sizes though... the website indicates that only an XS is available. I bought one about a year and a half ago, they are good beginner helmets and IMO more comfortable than the protecs.. but I didn't realize the company went out of business

Should I travel abroad for a world class AFF experience?
tred replied to dive42's topic in Safety and Training
***. That being said, I think that the actual first jump coarse and up to licensing can be better at a small DZ. At a small DZ you will most likely get more one on one time and not be treated like a number. *** started aff at big turbine dz and finished a license at small 182 dz, and this was my experience. -
considering getting this mount soon any worry about damaging the camera without the housing?

http://www.2kcomposites.co.uk/g3-cutaway-system-26-p.asp thoughts on this? anyone tried it? ETA: I guess it still doesn't solve getting the helmet off your head situation

I wasn't trying to critique you dude, It was a sincere question for if I ever decide to put a gopro on. maybe some mounts are better than others
-
what mount where you using?

I don't think it is that simple... I am a health care provider (physical therapy) my company will most likely bill the exact same charges as PTcompanyB down the street. but when my therapy actually works for your hip guess where you will come when your knee bothers you. and guess where you will send your sister when she injures her shoulder. if PTcompanyB doesn't provide the level of care we do their business will suffer. OTOH The main issue in PT is reimbursement rates going down, and medicare is by far the highest paying insurance for reimbursement. The other problem I see is patients who get their health insurance through their employer have increased co-pays and deductibles and cant finish their rehab due to financial restraints. I don't know the answers to these problems but the current system is flawed

isn't that guy part of the "gopro bomb squad" and that looks like their newest camera. may have something to do with it

Does it? I thought the grommets should be pretty much aligned. Not on a Vector 3. The grommets are supposed to be offset, not stacked. Just like the picture. would there be any negative affects of packing a vector 3 with the grommets stacked?
-
what causes this?, I have had it happen a handful of times on my triathlon 190, and while I am usually able to stop it before line twists start, it does cause horribly off heading openings
-
yea if I move my phone at all during a picture it comes out blurry, I couldn't imagine a good picture at 120 from a phone
-
so would that be two different tunnels on the same street competing with each other? has that happened anywhere else before?

1. what will the retail price of the backpack be once the project is finished? 2. not sure how kickstarter works? if I make a pledge but you guys don't reach your goals do I get my money back or no?

actually as of your last post 20 out of 60 posts in this thread are yours.

As this thread clearly demonstrates! I said 'everything', not 'anything'. . so did he?
-
maybe not, in wrestling/BJJ I was always taught not to use the thumb because you are stronger with out it, but not sure if it would apply here... the "gable grip" is an example of this

also the more you wear it the more the padding on the inside will compress

that is some fucked up logic right there It's actually math. If you have a 5% chance of something going wrong and do it once. You have a 95% chance of getting away with it. If you do the same thing 10 times while maintaining the 5% risk you have a 60% change of getting away with it every time. If you do it 100 times while remaining at a 5% risk factor you have a .5% change of getting away with it every time. But the more you jump the risk factor goes down because the experience factor goes up. I have no clue what the statistic is for 'camera incidents/camera jumps' is so I can't give you detailed numbers but I can safely say that it is far less than 5%. this makes me laugh

you don't ever "have" to buy a g3

exactly my point, I did similar, unless money doesn't matter I believe newer skydivers should be patient because there are really good deals out there

can you sell me a H/C, main, and reserve for $1600?
