DTOXX 0 #1 April 14, 2003 OH MAN!! First, let me say that I found this thread... http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=129868;search_string=DOWNSIZE;#129868 ...because I am considering downsizing. I have been jumping a Manta 288 with a ripcord (oh the shame) and needed to finally do my transition jump. In order to do this I also finally downsized to a 210. I liked it alot. I am at the same time looking for my first rig. I am basically scared shitless to downsize too fast and this is where my problem is. I have the chance to purchase a used container, main and reserve for some obscenely low price. The main is a 170 . My big ass is about 210, say 235 out the door... I am now NOT considering the purchase after reading the story. Thanks for makeing the report, hope you are better now, and for making ME laugh my ass off... ------- D.T.

DYEVOUT 0 #4 April 14, 2003 Holy Crap, that was well-written, and entertaining. Now I think I want my first rig to contain a tandem main. ----------------=8^)---------------------- "I think that was the wrong tennis court." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
