But it doesn't matter, I"VE GOT NEW GEAR ON THE WAY, WOOOOHHHHHOOOOO!!!My color combinations will be black, neon orange and neon green.How come May seems so far away now?Hang onto Heaven, when hell is on your back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koune 0 #4 January 25, 2002 Whooow.....why did someone sponsor you?And do you have to do anything for it (jump demo's etc...or is it only their name on the canopy)..?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E150 0 #5 January 25, 2002 Not yet. Don't expect to be able to jump it for a while. Weather, money etc. I'll be at the DZ anyway, wanna get my packing certificate. You going at all this weekend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm 0 #6 January 25, 2002 I asked a friend of mine's company to sponsor a rig, but they turned me down saying that if I fell to my death with it it will be their fault and their name (oh duh, wonder how they came up with that one?).My friend saw my dissapointment and offered to sponser my rig himself,saying he doesn't have any family or dependants, and he does have the money (he has two farms in Namibia, as well as one in Germany). I didn't have to do demo jumps, although he did come and watch me jump, once...! I get to choice the design. And he doesn't want any thing in return!!! Just for us to remain friends and for me not to get hurt while jumping the gear.I'm getting a 170 Heatwave Main(SA manufacture, eliptical canopy), 150 Tempo Reserve and a Vortex II Container, with matching jumpsuit and Kitbag.Hang onto Heaven, when hell is on your back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #7 January 25, 2002 Sounds more like a sugar daddy than a sponsor, but who cares as long as they pay for your gear! Congrats.Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
