SkydiveNFlorida 0 #1 August 20, 2003 If I stop skydiving and eat lightly for the next 2 months, I can almost afford a used rig,... if I keep with it 'til christmas, I can almost afford a new one!! I think I can make it through next weekend without going cuz I just got back from a skydiving vacation in Deland.... but, i'm not sure how long i'll be able to stay away, and it's not good to not be current, and i'm close to getting the 'a' license requirements completed. . . maybe better off not jumping, tho, cuz gear rental sux and eats $! Ok, just wanted to vent. Had a blast in Deland! Also visited Z-Hills:D Hope I can stay away from the DZs! Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AirMail 0 #2 August 20, 2003 Make a new friend - a doctor. Have him put your leg in a cast. That will keep you from jumping. No pain involved and you can save the cash.

CrazyIvan 0 #3 August 20, 2003 I'd say, make a little sacrifice and get you 'A', after that, you can take a break, remember, you have 60 days to make 1 jump and stay current if you have your 'A'.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

SkydiveNFlorida 0 #4 August 20, 2003 Good idea! Get the license, and take a break... hehe (man, I wonder if i'm just agreeing cuz this means I still get to make a couple of jumps b4 having to take a break:p ) Theoretically, then... I should go jump this wknd;) :D Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveNFlorida 0 #6 August 20, 2003 I already work nights... definitely considering getting a day job, tho. I'm not nice enough to get a sugar daddy, haha. I learned to pack... it only takes me about 45 minutes; they'd probably pay me to get the hell outta the way of other packers, lol!! Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pleifer 0 #8 August 20, 2003 they need a patch for skydiving. i'd be much more productive at work. just like quitting smoking put the patch on and forget about it. or mabye gum. when you get a strong craving just take an extra piece. if you want something less addictive try some meth, or coke, ummmmm just kidding don't do drugs, skydive!!! _________________________________________ The Angel of Duh has spoke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #10 August 20, 2003 Quoteif I keep with it 'til christmas, I can almost afford a new one!! Quote Your profile only shows 22 jumps. Whatever you do now, don't get a new rig. Save it for when you have about 400 jumps or so and know what you want to jump for a while (you'll want to downsize a little every couple hundred jumps once you get going until you hit a safe size that still puts you in your happy place). Used rigs are fine if you have a good rigger to give you advice. Good luck. ...

I'm thinking by the time I save up, I could buy a rig with like a 150sf main, ... once I get my 'a', I could start jumping a 170 main and get used to it, then after I can afford to buy, I can downsize and just be really conservative with landings., Also, I am going to take some canopy coaching with Scott Miller soon, and then probly each time I downsize. ... don't know if this is realistic, but i'm sure i'll find out soon (someone will correct me i'm sure)> Um, I know i'd lose that 1.27$, so i'm gonna have to say no to that bet, lol.!!
