gigaxb 0 #1 October 14, 2005 Brian, from Kansas. New to the sport but hoping to have an A pretty soon, I have 12 jumps with a start in static line. Made first FF and a 10 sec last weekend, cant wait to get out this weekend!! Also I am looking for a good beginers rig (pefer complete) around 210 with AAD. If anyone has one let me know! JUMP!

Peej 0 #3 October 14, 2005 Hey man, welcome to the forums I have a differing opinion to Skymama. I tell most newbies to wait till they have at least 50 skydives before you start looking for a rig. Think about buying your peripheral gear first, stuff like a helmet, goggles, alti, etc. You see, you're progressing through canopies so quickly at this stage that you'll soon be ready to jump something smaller than a 210. Now i'm not talking a VX 88 here! But hold on a bit and when you have around 50 jumps talk to yoir instructors and pilots who have watched you fly and land and then make a decision. Just mho.

gigaxb 0 #4 October 14, 2005 Thanks for the advice from both of you! I do agree that a smaller rig may be in the future... I have also been looking for all the other gear to, its just a matter of time, when i find the right stuff I will snag it up! Off to the DZ!!!!
