frenchcloud 0 #1 January 26, 2004 i am coming to your country in august and will stay for the academic year 2004/2005. as soon i arrive, my first move will be parachute hunting! i ll be at university of illinois. is there a place where i can find used gear so i can buy a nice rig and jump it all year long? rigs are scarcer in france and so the prices are high but i realised on american websites that you could get a descent one for around 2500 bucks!! can t wait to come and get my first own rig...and jump from 12000 feet and no longer 4000 metres!! 12000 souds more. -------------------------------------------------- The tongue is NOT only a tool for speech!

Nightingale 0 #2 January 26, 2004 First and best place to ask about used gear is your own dropzone, when you're in Illinois. Ask the folks at the gear store, and ask the riggers. Next, this website is a pretty good resource. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #3 January 26, 2004 I some how doubt that CSC or SDC, even Archway have gear stores near what you are used to at Perris. They might have one or two rigs for sale, SDC has 4 or 5 usually.. but they tedn to be higher proformance canopies. Check out the classifieds here and try to find what you want Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #4 January 26, 2004 Skydive Chicago, Chicagoland Skydiving Center or lastly Paragear All sell new and used gear. Used gear is tough to find around here for reasons I don't understand. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
