Hey, I had a chance to play around with one of them not too long back. Yes they are bigger, but lighter? Huh? What? BIgger and lighter = LOTS OF PLASTIC. The whole exterior is plastic. Most interior gears and framework is plastic. Someone said that it had a 3CCD chip in it, but its still has the 1/3 chip in it, only it processed the signal differnently now to give a higher resolution. If you want to use it for home use, it prolly will work just fine, but for skydiving....no thanks. I have a feeling that it will not stand up to constant openings. Besides, its a bigger camera than its predicessors, why the hell did they do that? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

So if you get hit by the tree and it kills you before the tree crashed on the ground............does it make any noise? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Oooh oooh......are you going to be swooping Steve? That would like....so kick ass. ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Hey Peter, I dont have any prob acessing DZ.com from work, but it seems like there are alot of peeps that make it an unhealthy habit of posting while "working". For what ever reason, it seems that Canadians have a very laxidazical approach to work. Why do they seem to be the biggest PW around? If not self-hatred motivated, its just mindless whoring for numbers. Oh well, I guess that Americans have a higher work ethic than some. See ya. ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Friggin awesome weekend. Jumped with some incredible people, experienced some incredible things, and can't wait to hang out with everyone again. Congrats to K, I am very proud of you, ;) PS I really, really, really, really, really didn't want to leave.... Party on...

$300, do I hear an offer for $300? Going once, going twice.... SOLD... I'll be calling you later... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

So what kind of prices are we looking at for a year of service and setting up that name? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

I know enough about computers, but never ventured this far. I want my name to be on the web, like www.peterfreefly.com, but don't know how to go about it. I would assume that nobody is squatting on the rights to peterfreefly.com. I would like to keep it to a simple, 5ish page website, little traffic, with two or three emails like info@peterfreefly.com. Who do I talk to, to not only get the site registered, but also to have the server space to post my pictures and stuff? Thanks ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Ok, if everyone wants me to get worked up and then start typing, here I go... Some people are better canopy pilots than others. Some have experience in flying aircraft, some people have graduate degrees in aerospace, some are just non-agressive, and some just aren't smart. I have never had a friend go in or break a femur because of a small canopy they "shouldn't" be under. But the thing that drives me crazy is the desire to impliment more legislation, (read as sign away liberty for security) to take responsibility and accountablity away from senior jumpfriends and DZO/STAs. When I had 150 jumps, I wanted to jump a larger Crossfire. Icarus sent it to me, I was ready to go, but the DZO put an end to that. He knew me, knew my ability, but was a dick, so told me that I can't jump it at his DZ. Do I think I could have done it? Absolutely! Had the DZO ever watched a landing of mine with my Sabre2? No. Who was on every canopy landing, and who wants Peter to not femur in and/or die, most of all? PETER!!! There are jumpers at my DZ that have incredible canopy skills far before average, and those that have no canopy skills way after the average. I am not taking anything away from the jumpers with thousands of jumps. You have had friends on small canopies before they should have, and some might have been hurt or killed. And I respect your opinion. This is, however, mine. However, when you legislate something like wingloading, and blindly apply that to skydivers in general, it seems foolish to me. And would I be able to jump the same wingloading in Florida during the winter, as in Denver (5500') during the hottest part of summer? Or do you have some complicated formula to determine what I would or wouldn't be able to jump? I understand that it isn't good PR, in the very least, to have low-timers going to the hospital weekly, and have a first name relaationship with the paramedics and fire crews. But do we need any more rules to blindly dictate what senior jumpfriends and/or DZO/STAs should be on the lookout for? BTW, at my DZ, who are the people that were femuring in last summer? I can't remember for sure, but seems like all 4 were staff members, and all had 1000+ jumps... Bring it on... Peter ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Gee, what I have I created??? You really are a badass!!! Peter ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

First off, why is 5 head-down freeflyers worth mentioning? And then there are four names listed? Too late, my friends and I complete this record every weekend... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Damn, I am glad that I would be "allowed" to be grandfathered in, and have to say that I am glad that the poll results were indicating the majority to NO. Glad your not at my DZ... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

If anyone wants to buy a 2002 GSXR750 that is all polished, etc... Take a look at the pic, send over an email for more info... konradptr@yahoo.com ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

If I was a chick, I would go after that incredibly good looking guy on the right. I've heard that he is not only a Bella, but his nickname is "Six-Foot Peter"... Kind of funny how according to the voting, more skydivers are resigned to just spanking it, rather than spanking hineys.... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Anyone else wondering what Jim is doing with the annual Bellas membership fees??? What next??? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

I'm just pissed that I just got an email from my friends, and they want me to help them with the fees. That is BS, I want to stay in the RV slots for free, just like last year, with them paying $295/wk. Heck, they can charge my friends $1000/wk... And he better get another golf cart for that long ride between the RV park and planes... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

If that is the same Johnny from Boulder, don't listen to Jose... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

What possible advantages would two PCs provide? Also, why not have 3 or 4, if two is better than one? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

What is the deal with registration? I remember hearing that there are limited spots, and that they are all gone within minutes of them opening the list... Or can everyone that wants to jump have a good 6 hours, or is it extremely limited registration? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

How did this thread get to thsi point??? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

I can't believe that there are this many people on one forum, who are willing to work and work, just to give money to lazy, lowlife, criminals. I haven't seen a TacoBell that doesn't have a now hiring sign in front. Yes, although it isn't PC, if people don't have cash to pay rent like I do, they need to move to Mexico or something, but they shouldn't get my money. And why are these people who are on welfare for 20+ years having kids 10-15 times??? F-them... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

Where do I get the address for the hot chick that lives at 837-5309??? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

I agree with Jose... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......
