airborne31582 0 #1 July 9, 2002 I had to leave my baby at the dropzone this weekend. The sides of her reserve pilot chute kept jutting out and had to get it checked by a rigger. I know that I had to do it but I am so depressed that I don't have my rig. Is this normal? Do you guys have the same feelings? I won't get her until next Saturday and I am already hurting like hell Chris I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway.

skydiverbrian 0 #3 July 9, 2002 In the old days, before I knew better, I would let rig-less friends borrow mine. I got the same feeling when I looked up and saw my stuff flying around without me. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #4 July 9, 2002 Pd has had my canopy since May for testing. I saw it for the first time last Friday, as they were testing it after some relining. My heart skipped a beat, I want it back so badly! My Spectre loaner has been good to me, but I miss my Sabre 2.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glaucus73 0 #6 July 9, 2002 skymama Do you ever miss your Infinity and Hornet 190? Sweet rig I have about 50 jumps on it and the Hornet flies nice even in the 110 degree weather at Eloy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #7 July 9, 2002 I left mine for its first repack this past weekend. I had a dream last night that my apartment was on fire and I couldn't find my rig (the first thing I'd grab on the way out hte door). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #8 July 9, 2002 Oh, Kenny, I'm so glad you are happy with it! Well, a girl never forgets her first, but it was a little tough on me. Sounds like you and her are a perfect fit!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJohnson 0 #9 July 9, 2002 I once took my new unjumped rig to Texas, got rained on for 5 straight days. While sitting in my hotel, I put it on....just to bond with it and fell asleep wearing it. Woke up 5 hours later. It was pretty comfortable until I rolled onto my back. JJJJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
