    Cookie G3

    Don't know about freefall but Gary Connery used a G3 with goggles for his wingsuit landing. If you really want a definite answer, send an email to Jason at Cookie. Remember you don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing.
  2. Yep, we do love air sports. But if your going to do some aerobatics, get me a ride with this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO0FmzRW96o Wish I loved my job as much as he does. Remember you don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing.
  3. Quote 20 years ago "jumping a camera" involved a helmet with 40 pounds of gear. We didn't need rules, only truly dedicated masochists got into camera work. Then Handicams, 8 mm, miniDV, etc. and cameras are down to a pound or two. Today it's the GoPro. Fight it all you want, the next step will be a clip on device the size of a coin sending data wirelessly to a receiver in your pocket. It's not 5-10 years away, it's possible now.... /Quote Check it out> HD recording sunglasses. You can get goggles as well.

  4. Thats the shit right there!! Looks stable and comfortable. Does it have any sort of cutaway? Remember you don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing.
  5. So it seems you are talking about more of a shoe/heel mount than an ankle mount although I don't really understand how the cutaway works from your description. Looks like I have to go back to the drawing board on this one. Thanks DSE
  6. Just wondering if anybody has a photo(s) of an ankle mount that they are using and happy with. I have had a few tries and am having trouble with preventing the camera from rotating around my ankle and having a stable platform at the same time as being able to flex/move my ankle. I have come up with a cutaway system that I am happy with but need some tips for the mount please. Also how are people getting it to mount past the bootie on the wingsuit?? Thanks in advance.

  7. Umm, unless I missed that section in the manual it does NOT take photos and shoot video at the same time dude. That would be why it was suggested that you use 2. Remember you don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing.
  8. We are talking about the Gopro 2 aren't we?? I am no profesional photographer but the improvements to the new model seem to address most if not all the issues raised here. •Professional 11MP Sensor •2x Faster Image Processor •2X Sharper Glass Lens •Professional Low Light Performance •Full 170º, Medium 127º, Narrow 90º FOV in 1080p •120 fps WVGA, 60 fps 720p, 48 fps 960p, 30 fps 1080p Video •Full 170º and Medium 127º FOV Photos •10 11MP Photos Per Second Burst •1 11MP Photo Every 0.5 Sec Timelapse Mode Has anybody used the new model for stills yet to give a creditable opinion??

    Jokes

    Joe wanted to buy a motorbike. He doesn't have much luck until one day, he comes across a Harley with a 'for sale' sign on it. The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 years old. It is shiny and in absolute mint condition. He immediately buys it, and asks the seller how he kept it in such great condition for 10 years. 'Well, it's quite simple, really,' says the seller, 'whenever the bike is outside and it's gonna rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome. It protects it from the rain.' And he hands Joe a jar of Vaseline. That night, his girlfriend, Sandra, invites him over to meet her parents. Naturally, they take the bike there. But just before they enter the house, Sandra stops him and says, 'I have to tell you something about my family before we go in.' 'When we eat dinner, we don't talk. In fact, the first person who says anything during dinner has to do the dishes.' 'No problem,' he says. And in they go. Joe is shocked. Right smack in the middle of the living room is a huge stack of dirty dishes. In the kitchen is another huge stack of dishes. Piled up on the stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks, dirty dishes. They sit down to dinner and, sure enough, no one says a word. As dinner progresses, Joe decides to take advantage of the situation. So he leans over and kisses Sandra. No one says a word. So he reaches over and fondles her breasts. Still, nobody says a word. So he stands up, grabs her, rips her clothes off, throws her on the table, and screws her right there, in front of her parents. His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid, and her mom horrified when he sits back down, but no one says a word. He looks at her mom.. 'She's got a great body,' he thinks.. So he grabs the mom, bends her over the dinner table, pulls down her panties, and screws her every which way right there on the dinner table. After she has a big orgasm, he sits down again. Now his girlfriend is furious and her dad is boiling, the Mom is pleasantly beaming. But still, Total silence. All of a sudden there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. Joe remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket... Suddenly the father shouts..... 'I'll do the fucking dishes!'

    Oh the irony

    Might want to check the facts Andy. More likely that motorcycle accidents are the fault of an automobile driver and your rates are higher because the auto driver(and his insurer) is liable for damages. Helmet laws are in place soley for the benefit of those auto insurers who are liable for damages caused by their customers. Blue Skies, Dan I am sure this MIGHT have been a secondary consideration when drafting the law but I think that the primary reason is to prevent death/injury for those to stupid to understand that it will help save your life or those that think they can AVOID an accident just cos they are a careful rider.

    Oh the irony

    You want to make a bet that the guy who died in the protest ride that started this thred, thought he was riding safely, responsibly and thought he would be able to avoid an accident because he was being "SAFE"?? The point you seem to missing is that sure, you might be able to go riding 100 times without wearing OR needing a helmet but it's the 101th time that you go riding and some dickhead cuts you off or runs an intersection and no matter how good a rider you are, you are unable to avoid hitting the deck. Now what smart ass??? Did you know that top GP riders in the world are banned by their sponsors from riding a bike on public roads because it's considered too risky for the money they have invested in their rider?? Like I wrote before, thay don't call them accidents because you know they are about to happen. Seems like like some people are just too stubborn or stupid to relize that a wearing a helmet is safer than not.

    Recession beater. Wife says to her husband, If you cycle to work, we can get rid of the second car. He replies, “If you take it up the arse and let me cum on your face, we can get rid of the nanny! Was shagging this bird over her kitchen table when we heard thefront door open. She said, “It’s my husband! Quick, try the back door!”Thinking back, I really should have legged it – but you don’t get offers like that every day. Sorry for not calling you on New Years, I just got out of jail. I got locked up for punching the fuck out of this bloke at a party. In my defence….. when you hear an Arab counting down from 10, your instincts kick in. I saw a fortune teller the other day. She told me I would come into some money. Last night I rooted a sheila called Penny – spooky or what The missus asked me, “When you’re on a boys only trip away, do you think about me?” Apparently “Only to stop myself coming too quickly” wasn’t the right answer.

    Ok I'll bite. What possible hazards could come from wearing a helmet that would outweigh the risk of you coming off and having your brains physically overtake you when you hit the kerb (or whatever)? Do they mess up your hair do?? Remember you don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing.

How could you be so naive as to think that you are going to be ok NOT wearing a helmet whilst riding??? They don't call them accidents because you know they are going to happen you know!!

  21. It's the software for the LCD screen and battery pack that you need to download that will give you the 1 sec photos. And as stated above, it's not in the revised manual but if you scroll through the menu to where you change the timing intervals for photos, you will see "P1" available.

  22. They do have an approved magnetic riser mod but it is only for their V3 and Micron models. http://www.unitedparachutetechnologies.com/PDF/retrofit/INSTRUCT_011___Magnetic_Riser_Covers_Retro_Kit___V3___Micron_Installation_15_51_59[1].pdf Seems like the dealer at Deland got his models mixed up.

  23. Try to think of it this way. 200 plus jumps and I have not had to cutaway...yet. I have a small lurking fear that when the time comes (hopefully never) that I will fuck it up some how. At least you know what a cutaway feels like and you KNOW you have and will perform as required. Trust your self and your gear as you have proven that you have what it takes.
