Jeth 0 #1 October 16, 2006 So I'm getting a new container, and I'm having a really hard time picking the look. Right now I like it with a little tie-dye on it (reserve container and partial mid-flap). But many people have said that I shouldn't get it cuz it'll go out of style and/or I will get tired of it. But at the dz I see tons of rigs with tie-dye. So.... Those of you who got a rig with tie-dye back in 2001, 2002, or 2003... do you still love the tie-dye?? Thanks for the input.

BIGUN 1,440 #3 October 16, 2006 Quotedo you still love the tie-dye?? Yes. Solid blue & white tie-dye. What's even more important is that those on big ways love to be in the slot behind/side me cause it's so easy to pick out of the formation.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

jakee 1,571 #4 October 16, 2006 I don't have tie die but I like rigs that do. If the tie die matches the predominant colour on the rest of the container I think it looks great.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't buy with other people in mind, do it for yourself. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyskydiver 0 #7 October 16, 2006 Still love my tie dye. By the way...since when do skydiver's care about fashion? Have you seen the colors that people put together? Do what you like. And when/if you decide to sell it, someone will buy it - if the price is right. Not everyone care's about colors. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickDG 23 #8 October 16, 2006 >>Ya, but if I ever want to sell it, then I will care if others like it.<< That sounds reasonable, but it's not the case . . . I was on the phone a few months back selling a BASE canopy to an American jumper who asked what colors were in stock. At the moment we only had three FLiK canopies (in his size) from a canceled European order. But they were all colored International Orange. (Something you can wave at the helicopter, I suppose.) And all he said was, "Cool, I'll take it!" NickD BASE 194 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brabzzz 0 #9 October 16, 2006 Funny you should say that! I ordered my Troll in navy blue with a neon orange centre cell for that very reason. I figure that after the thunderous opening boom some midflight camouflage won't make any difference. But a SAR heli might appreciate a bit of brigntness when trying to find me on the cliff! --------------------------------------- Ex-University of Bristol Skydiving Club www.skydivebristoluni.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
