Pablito 0 #1 January 2, 2005 Riggers and fun Jumper, the Parachute industry Symposuim is one of the mayor events to get to know the manufacturers, the new toys and best of all there are conferences to learn more about our sport. I wanna know how many people are going?

peek 21 #2 January 2, 2005 I wouldn't miss it for the world. It is one of the most interesting and educational things I do every two years. The week is a blur there is so much going on. As you will see from the ads in Parachutist and Skydiving magazines, there is a lot more than just the Symposium going on that week. The USPA BOD meeting for one. Go there, corner a BOD member, and ask them, "What are you knuckleheads doing about xxxxxx?". You'd be amazed at what you can learn from just doing that. If you live within a few hours drive of Jacksonville I promise it will be worth your while _just_ to enter the exhibit hall for one session, and that costs $10 last time I recall. In a short time you can walk up to so many manufacturers, and ask them all about everything. It is not necessary to go to the presentations to learn a lot about the gear and rigging! They will go over it in their booths in the exhibit hall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
