    This is what I have: Bonehead Optik 210 An X-Shut camera mount I need to: Make a 45 mm circle to insert and mount the X-Shut flush into the helmet. Question: What is the best method other than using a 45mm hole saw? Specifics I need: Type of tool (i.e dremel etc.), Type of drill bit material (i.e carbide etc), Special care techniques (i.e sealing with clear resin/clear coat nail polish), and any other information you would feel is necessary I don't have: A spare piece of carbon fiber to test this with... :P

    Don't want my thread to get hijacked. Just want to know the % of Tandems thats request video and stills.
  6. pkrfce
    Any photographers have a ball park estimate of the % of Tandem Jumpers that get Video and Stills?
  7. pkrfce
    Any idea where I can get statistics on how many tandems are conducted in the US per year?

    Currently paying $25 to 12k in a 182 and 206. Is that to much?

    What will fuel costs do to this summers jump ticket pricing? How is this going to affect smaller DZ's? Larger ones?

    I'm coming...Along with a few friends from Vermont Skydiving. Gonna be jumping my new PD Sabre2. See ya there! Im new to the ball game so I gotta learn the ropes.

    Skyjumpenfool! Not to rag...but where are your leathers? Just shorts and a cutoff? You're killin' me smalls!

    Prior to getting into this sport, I had to accept the risks associated with falling from the sky with a bunch of fabric on your back. Just the other day I witnessed my first incident (non-fatal, but broken up) and was a little shook up. My questions is, How do you guys/gals deal with incidents when they happen and how did you deal with the FIRST incident you witnessed? What is proper DZ etiquette regarding incidents immediately after the happen? (i.e when they happen is it hush hush as to not scare the potential customers?) Any info would be great! Thanks

    I ride a sport bike so strapping it to the back would be pretty tough. Can you lock your bag shut?
  16. pkrfce
    Serious answers only cause this is open to a lot of ridicule. Rig on my back....me on my motorcycle. Good idea....or bad? Has anyone done it?

    How should I go about buying a used canopy? How many jumps are TOO much? What are good things to keep an eye out for?
  18. pkrfce
    Ya, I read about that guy on the PD website about choosing the right canopy. Are there any threads on here in which people have started out at a different canopy size and wrote about it?
  19. pkrfce
    Can I please have some reasons why NOT to jump a 150anything? (other than that I will die)
  20. pkrfce
    The world is toooo small and all forums are the same.
  21. pkrfce
    Well "might" being okay on a 190 seems rediculous considering I have been jumping a 7 and 9 cell 170 with a 160 reserve. Haven't had a problem at all. If I am getting a rig. I would like a 150 Sabre2. The only problem I can't find one. And if I do find one....the harness is built for a midget. Would I have better luck piecing one together?

    http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=96440;d%3D1 This -----^ is exactly what I want....but it says its cut for someone 5 feet and 120 lbs. I am 6 feet and 180 lbs. Can the harness be resized? Another issue, I am finding a perfect sized rig...but it has what I think might be a too aggressive canopy. I have around ~30 jumps. Is a stiletto 150 dangerous to start out on?

    Adrenaline crash. Stopped getting them after jump 15 or so. Oh yeah....eat and drink fluids.
