mujie96 0 #1 September 13, 2002 Ok, kinda yeayyyy. I got my reserve today. Main should be here tomorrow, Cypress next week. I won't even mention the container-am I nutty for thinking about buying a well used container to save on gear rental until my Wings is done? Does anyone want to donate or sell me their ratty Sabre 170 for cheap? Deep thoughts, by me.... Jess Just keep swimming...just keep swimming....

Sebazz1 2 #2 September 13, 2002 I read a earlier post that said you could just tie your main risers to your shoulder and tuck your pilot chute in your back pocket. I am sure it's all good (psssst - you owe beer) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mujie96 0 #3 September 13, 2002 Yeayyyy, beeeeer. After I finish cuddling my own FIRST reserve (might as well make it a LOT of beer). Jess Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judedre 0 #4 September 13, 2002 how much do u wanna pay for the sabre 170 ? ps i have a wings u gonna love it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mujie96 0 #5 September 13, 2002 As little as possible . I will honestly make maybe 50 jumps (tops) on it. I bought a 150 but I'm using a 195 right now and I want something in the middle for a few months. I'm a lightweight so the 150 is still conservative but I like walking and I'm cautious.

mujie96 0 #6 September 13, 2002 I would lease the damn thing if I could. Maybe I should start my own business....... Jess Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #7 September 13, 2002 Call PD up.. they have a demo program for their canopies. Something older like the Sabre you might be able to work a deal out with them on.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quatorze 1 #8 September 13, 2002 Enjoy the Sabre, I have been jumping my 150 for about 8 months now and the openings never quit surprising me, soft once and the SABRE time on the next on. I am glad that I am a young man. I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quatorze 1 #10 September 13, 2002 What I find the most interesting part is that you can pack the same way over and over again and yet never really know how "brisk" the opening will be until you pull.
