I jump with a pair of milspec m frames that work great. Not one shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

I'm finally moving home in a few weeks. I haven't lived there in almost 8 years now. I'm sure that there are many other military types on here that can appreciate the feeling. I've visited a dozen times, but not for any length of time. It is going to be weird. It's home, but hasn't been "home" in a long time. Its funny. I've never lost touch with my close friends from high school. Those that have stayed have almost no interesting stories. I've carried a gun for my country while doing the Marine thing. I've raced motorcycles on tracks here in California. I am now a licensed skydiver with my "B" license. It'll be weird seeing people again that I haven't talked to in years and explaining what my life has become. Not one shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

I simply jump with my M-Frames and a brainstrap attached to them. Its annoying having to deal with the eye boogers that get on them, but whatever. Next will be jumping wearing a pair of froggers. Not one shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

This was an interesting read. Being a noob(41 jumps as of today), I thought I would throw in my two cents on this... I currently have one of the new GoPro HD's that I use on my motorcycle routinely. I use it on the track and I use it on the street. For shooting simple videos for myself and friends, it works great. I certainly wouldn't try to seriously pawn off the vid it shoots to somebody for $70. I have yet to attach to my lid and jump with it. I am very hesitant to do this as all of the talk about the negatives of doing this that I've heard from the day I got my A license. If mounted properly, I have a hard time imagining the risks it poses in regards to it being a snag hazard. I would think that for it to get snagged, something else would have had to happen to cause it (like deploying on your back). Now, as far as it being a distraction, I can fully understand that. While 200 jumps may just be an arbitrary number, it is a good suggestion. I plan on waiting till I am at well over a hundred before mounting mine. One thing that I haven't heard being mentioned is to do some solo jumps after mounting it and getting used to having it there while not having another jumper with you as an additional distraction. I would think that this would be a good idea. Not one shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

This was a great read. I would really like to fly cam someday, but seeing as I just did my 41st today, it'll be a while. Not one shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

Ha, that was pretty cool. Not one shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

I just got my A license the other day and figured it was time to go ahead and register here. I jump in Perris CA and love it there. Give me another month of jumping and I'll have my B license. I'd be out jumping today, but between doing three a day for a few days, packing my own rig, and riding almost a 1,000 mi on my Daytona, my body is smoked. So yeah, hi everybody!
