What color is your parachute?

Recommended Posts

My Lightning is neon yellow/royal/royal/neon yellow/royal/royal/neon yellow. The ribs are all neon yellow. The stabilizers are royal blue.

To prove I am the ultimate gear fag....

*I had my white mesh slider dyed royal blue.
*I had special CRW risers built. They are royal blue and the toggles and 2-1's are neon yellow.
*The slider bumper stoppers were special made and they are neon yellow.
*I have a neon yellow 32" pilot chute.
*I have a royal blue kill cone.
*My dolphin rig is royal blue/neon yellow down the center panels.
*My hookknife is neon yellow with a royal blue pouch.
*I have royal blue/neon yellow shoelaces.

My newest acquisition is a Sabre II 190. It is purple/purple/grey/white/white/white/grey/purple/purple. It was a pre-owned and bought as a gift for me, so I had no vote in the color scheme.

I also have an evil canopy. I swear whoever made it must've used all the odd assed colors in the factory. It's black/black/green/orange/white/orange/green/black/black. Great for Halloween. Otherwise, it's just plain butt ugly.

BTW...my reserve is gold with kelly green packing tabs! :P

My Tri 190 is Blue, Black, Hot Pink, and Silver. I bought it with a few jumps on it, so I didn't really pick the colors. :o

My reserve is hot pink...

The only real strange thing about my rig (that WAS blue and hot pink) was it was owned by a dude in the east coast. I got the colors changed by the manufacturer... I do NOT do pink... :S

Very nice. I think I'm giving you a run for your money, though. ;)

*Did I mention the matching royal blue & neon yellow pull up cords? :)
*The royal blue pillow for my chest altimeter, with a yellow TOAD sewed on the bottom side of it.
*Or the royal blue zip up canopy storage bag?
*And the royal blue & neon yellow squishy pillows inside my gear bag for when I want to chill out between loads?
*Oh, and I just ordered a jumpsuit. It's navy blue, columbia blue and yellow grippies.
*Can't forget the yellow/blue custom painted full face full face helmet. B| B| B|

Triathalon 220, solid neon yellow. Got it two years ago and had been planning this for a long time. I wanted a yellow main to ensure high visibility and minimize the potential for one of those ugly low-altitude collisions. Also, to make recovery easier after a cutaway. There is NO naturally ocurring bright yellow terrain (at least not in Georgia.)

My Strato Cloud is a rainbow pattern on bottom, white on top.


About 20 years ago in Arcade, NY I saw a guy with the most ug... er, interesting color scheme. Every panel, every rib was a different color, with no apparent pattern. He said he sat down with the manufacturer's paperwork for selecting colors, then chose a color for each unit by playing some sort of drinking game and allowing the results to dictate the final colors. Imagine the look on the face of the employee whose assignment that day was to complete this order.:ph34r:

Cheers,
Jon S.

Not the book, but literally...what color is your MAIN (not your reserve, we don't care :P)


-Um, unless you have an unusual colored reserve...then tell us about it. :)


Edit to add: forgot to say, mine is black, white, royal, and lime green.



Blue Yellow and black, and the jumpsuit to match. Looking good I'd say, but I've got to fill the jumpsuit in the ass section. I see squats in my future.

Which Main?

Whoa, whoa whoa....I completely forgot to mention in my opening post:

If you have more than one rig, the rest of us that are proud of our one and only all hate you with an evil green passion and we don't want to hear about it. ESPECIALLY sdctlc. NO WORDS FROM YOU, SNOTTY SCOTTY!! You keep your 5 rigs to yourself! >:(

Karen does my Tri have black ribs?? :|

I don't even remember...and I just packed it yesterday. :P

I don't remember ever seeing you with that one pictured...but then of course I've only seen you under canopy once I think. :P I'm always all back o' the bus at the east field, so I don't see much. :)
