Harksaw 0 #1 January 30, 2004 My skydiving club has a storage area with a gathering of skydiving gear over the years that goes back to the mid 1950s. It's definitely never going to be used, but it seems a shame to throw such history away. Is there anywhere that might want it? USPA museum? No, sorry, I don't have specific details on what the stuff is because of school bureaucracy and construction its going to be a while until we get our access keys back.__________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks.

skybytch 273 #2 January 30, 2004 I'd suggest contacting USPA. If they don't want it for the museum, contact me - I'm a pack rat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #4 January 30, 2004 Kim Fuller might like it if someone doesn't want it. He's a hard core vintage gear guy. If you'd like, I'll get you in contact with him.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dterrick 0 #5 January 30, 2004 Ooo Oooo ooo, pick me pick me! I have exactly one round ride - and that one was a high speed mal on student gear - and I really enjoyed the "flight" I'd be seriously interested in acquiring some round-type stuff for "fun". I'd go so far as to say the idea of having a round main and a modern reserve - not the other way around - has crossed my mind. It would be very cool to actually throw a WDI BECAUSE YOU NEED IT in the middle of the day, and to acquire a set of para-boots BECAUSE YOU NEED THEM and practice PLF's BECAUSE YOU NEED TO... etc. ...but hey, I enjoy restoring and racing vintage British sports cars too... go figure Dave Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koz2000 1 #6 January 30, 2004 I wouldn't bother with the USPA museum. A friend of mine (one of the guys who jumped into the 88 Seoul Olympics) offered one of the guys in charge his complete olympic rig. He was basically told to shove it and that the museum had more gear than it could handle in the first place. d______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J.
