wmw999 2,588 #1 September 11, 2002 Anyone else have a rig or piece of equipment that they wish they'd kept? Something that became obsolete, or out-of-fashion, or too small, but that somehow had the kind of magic that made it easy to love? For me, it was my old Starlite main. Nope, not as fast or soft-landing as a square, but somehow it was always fun and free-feeling to jump. It's the only canopy I have a picture of on my desk... Other equipment is fun, but THAT was a canopy!There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) starlite1.bmp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #2 September 12, 2002 I used to have a Super Pro harness and container in the 70's. It was three pin and Navy Blue. I had a solid red para-commander in it. It was a bitch to pack, because it was so tight. But it looked really cool for that time period. I went down to 500 ft. once with this rig before opening. Noone in the star was watching their altimeter and I was the last one in. I sold it and bought a bareback rigging, spurs, and chaps (to rodeo with). Was I stupid or what! I sold it cheap. I'd love to have it back. Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcimund 0 #3 September 12, 2002 I miss my first jumpsuit, custom made for me by another jumper back in 1985. My current jumpsuit is the same three colors, but I loved those big gaudy 80s diagonal leg and arm stripes. Today's designs are... well... too reserved. Unless you get a freefly suit, in which case they're too ... well... flashy. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
