I understand that you lose the HD but we(dz) supply linear editing equipment for our instructors and one of them has purchased a 100. anyone with an answer?
-
Can any of you gurus tell me what the best way to linear edit with cx 100? Is it with a media reader or is everyone transfering to a mini-dv and then editing? Thanks for any help.

Hey Lynn, I've been training skydivers for 15 years, much of it for free. So I understand paying it forward. I wish we could all find a way to make it this cheap and still maintain quality. So, if you dont have coaches on jumps 6-25 are there s/l instructors doing their freefall training for free? What type of a/c is the dz flying? Just trying to figure out how they can do this, might be useful if I decide to open up my own.

Wow, 20 jumps for 500.00 with a coach comes out to 12.00 for each jump ticket. How do they even pay for gear and give the coach anything. They are using coaches after the fifth s/l.

You can go to soloys website,soloy.com and get all the technical data. Last I knew those things were going for half a million. For that kind of money you can buy a good king air and some otters. Brent

Tandem Masters that don't give thier students a ripcord, why?
brentcair replied to LawnDart21's topic in Instructors
Well said Mark. Instruct is the key thing. I just recently came from a drop zone where the TI'S teach arch, how to read alti,pull and land the canopy on everyones first jump. This is because the drop zone owner understands that in order to have a successful DZ you need to fill the benches. The way you grow a DZ and our sport is to grow skydivers. You can go to this 6 yr. old DZ any day of the week and go to altitude on a turbine. The reason is because there are 1 or 2 tandems, 1 or 2 students and a small handfull of freshly trained graduates who call their friends to go out and do 2 or 3 ways. By the way Mark I tell mine"dont worry if you dont pull I have a very vested interest in the outcome so I will" -
may be a little different for you as a female, but with almost 6000 instructor jumps I have found that what has success is getting tough with them on training and letting them know you have a job to do and you are damn serious about. When I have a girl coming onto me I will intentionally give them something austere at malfunction junction, cutting them down to size. You are the INST. AND TAKE CHARGE, NO BULLSHITTING AROUND AND MAKE THEM FOCUS ON LIFE SAVING SKILLS YOU ARE GIVING THEM.

hooray! gold star for you,easy as pie to get out of if you twist the risers in the same direction as the twist.

This place specalizes in the the first time tandem. Small drop zone atmosphere allows the instructors to be very personal and spend quality time with the students. Has to be some of the most beautiful freefall scenery in the world. Entire staff is friendly and fun and they fly one of the sweetest cessna's I have seen in my skydiving career.

Hey josh, what I have found in high and turbulent winds that works well for me is I run my pattern lower and my turn to final is lower but not real aggresive so as to not expose the top skin as much but still keeping the nose hard. It also facilitates less time over the target should it become strong enough to back me up. hope your having a good season,we are doing great here in tx. Brent

How many handcams have you shot

I have jumped here a good bit when I was in the area. It is a great 182 DZ. Really friendly atmosphere, nice grass landing, no skygod mentalities. Owner does all the tandems and is really good with them, so if you have a whuffo friend who wants to check it out , its a good place for them to get their first taste. He spends alot of time with them and makes them feel comfortable.
