usedtajump 1 #7 June 15, 2004 Hey efs4ever, I got my 1983 Vector with the Cruiselite in it out three weeks ago and made a couple of jumps on it. First jump on that rig in 8 years. First jump for me in five years. Everything still worked as advertised.The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a parachute, it deserves to be thrown out of an airplane... aim for the bonfire, see if you get close!
