  1. ive think about this a few months a go, and i actually bet with one friend (shunkka) about it, i believe someone will land a wingsuit in 1 year. The idea come to me with 4movies: 1st the guy with a wingsuit about 10m high from a snow mountain, 2nd a guy jumping with skis on his foot, 3rd the world speed record on skis(250kms/h)n and 4th that oldie goldie movie about a guy jumping from Eiffel tower with a special suit but with no chute. Putting the first 3together and you got the idea, the 4th(crazy enought?) and you got your landing in wingsuit. Its easy, so guys... go try it, im only 70jumps ;) Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"
  2. Windows98? xp? what kind of operative system you have? Just a shot in the dark: if windowsxp your cd burner is already installed without any cd, and aol is because you trying to see a manual located in some webpage. Go to samsung webpage and download drivers for your cd/operating system, then install those. Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"

    whats up with my pc

    That seems a problem with the audio cable that connect directly your cdplayer to your soundcard. This cable function is to free your CPU to other tasks. Open your pc and plug/unplug the audio cable from the cdplayer(not the powercable 4pins, not the data cable lots of pins, but the audiocable 3/4 pins. This will not afect any other function of your pc, and you can re-change his status whenever you want. VERY IMPORTANT: disconect your pc from power before open it, im not saying turn it off, im saying unplug power cable before open the box.

  7. My Cypress2 dont do that, and right... if it turns off less than 14hours should be a battery problems and for that send it back to airtec. Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"
  8. I think you're talking about a jump with a instructor(tandem)? If so... Just remember the first 3 rules for the first skydiving experience: have fun, have fun and have lots fo fun, because is for that you're paying;) When the dive ends you will be wishing getting again on a plane.

  9. I´ve my G4 for 2weeks with a spectre 150 and a pd reserve 126. I love it, its really conf. Its so small i cant pack it alone :/ Can be lots of money but for sure not expensive, if I go back for sure I buy it again. I dont have enought experience to give security opinions, but my instructor/rigger have enjoy it so much as I. Ber --------------------------------- "Who Needs Oxygen Anyway?"
  10. As my father teachme one day... if you are looking for the best on anything start looking for the guy who invented it. And that, for mothern minidv cameras its a sony ;) 5 jumps for license A and talking about cameras? you're not seeing the forum? you will win a big kick in the ass from our fellows ;) good jumps and good luck for your trip.

  11. From all ive seen, and speaking with lots of ppl at dropzones. The best actual choice and mine too, is a sony pc103/pc105 they are the same size as the old pc9, they have 1million pixels, and is probably the camera to put the pc101 aside for good. Between the two the diference is the pc105 take pictures(1024x728) and few more stuff. The price in us is about $900 and in europe 1000€. Its possible to get it for lower prices if you look good.

  12. Well, the point of my post is not the number of jumps to start, but what expect when starting. I have made my desicion to wait till next year, so many more jumps till i think again on that. What i like to understand is what problems i will have when i start and what can i do today to be prepare tomorow. I know a good track is important when doing jumps with others, so i do always a track even if im jumping solo, tomorow when i jump with others i dont have to think about it. What i get from all posts with the subject of starting jumping with cameras is that if i jump with a brick attach to my helmet i will not have any problem, cause i will not be distracted by him. I already learn one from other posts... always put and inspect the rig before any other equipment, we dont wanna forget it. I like to know, how should i put my head and my body in openings, and other important stuff like that. Things i can do before jumping a camera. Thanks... Bernardo Mota ber@netcabo.pt
  13. I have purchase a sony pc105e, and ive my velocity helmet with a side mount for pc9. I jump alone or 2way but i've very few jumps(60) and i like to know what problems/issues i will find. Should i wait to have more jumps? I've read lots of dif. opinions about head position on openings, i like to read your opinion about that too. Thanks... Bernardo Mota
