  1. Now this is funny - good luck with the rest of the replies! 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  2. Thanks for that. And for the technically ignorant - me - what hardware / software should be used? 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  3. I work at a small Cessna DZ using handcam. We don't 'sell' vids, we take them on every jump, and download them the old fashioned way - direct while mixing in music. The passenger then decides if they want to buy it or not. This system works well but the key is that the client / family / friends see the vid directly after landing - the impulse buy. My question is, assuming that the software / computer package is of good quality, what would a fair wait time be from landing to when the vid could be viewed by the customer. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  4. In this case a main parachute line snagged on the container - not common or gear specific - so even after the main was cutaway it remained connected to the container. When the reserve was deployed it entangled - and became a documentary. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  5. We sell shitloads & and we don't 'sell' them. We video every jump and let the punters watch them. If they want a vid they want to buy a DVD they do. Our punters therefore don't share your opinion. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  6. I love safety meetings 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

    Agreed 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  9. In order to comply with the new Part 115 Rule in New zealand & keep a set of Eclipse tandem gear in the air I need a manual. Does anyone have one they can share? Blue skies in advance 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  10. Who give a fuck? You gotta die of something! 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHvDVMTquss Yep, that's the hop I remember so fondly - reinflated well though. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  12. Will CAA issue TIs with their licences - and if not which organisation will? 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  13. Not to mention the 'modified' harness. I wonder what the manufacturers would think about that.... 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

  15. I use both hands... 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  16. When I started jumping I had to jump rounds cause a square was too hot! A Sabre was in the realms of fantasy 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  17. I think your reply would fir Squeeks as in Australia they want Tandem Jumping to be a "Carnival ride" for "Punters". This would then mean a new title for the Tandem Instructors, as they would not be Instructors, nor Tandem Masters for that matter. But that is Australia, I wouldn't worry about it. Matt Sorry bro, you're confusing Squeak for me. FYI I'm from NZ - and they're "units' now. And I don't know why all you Americans get so uptight about it. Get over it. Guess it's a cultural / ego thing. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  18. I've always thought of myself as a 'drogue-chucker' and the one in front as a 'unit'. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  19. Don't forget about "The Dwarf" as he was part of that combo. As for Tiger, had that since I was 6 moths old - no skydiving connection at all. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  20. My experience form a few years ago Hop + wind/turbulence = collapse/injury. Great fun on no wind days though. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  21. Cactus Crotch... 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

  23. Yep, repost. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  24. Talk to your instructors and ask their advice. I don't have any experience of the sports gear but have done a 1000 jumps on the Omega tandem gear. Am happy with the quality of their gear and had good back up service when I needed to replace some parts. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
