ColdDuck 0 #1 March 22, 2001 In one of my previous posts I asked you guys and gals about gear advice for a novice. Most of you suggested demo jumping all the gear I could. Which raised yet another whuffo question. From whom do you get demo gear to jump ? Is it the DZ or the manufacturers or both ?BLUE SKIES Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyberskydive 0 #2 March 22, 2001 If your dz has good ties with a manufacturer as mine does demo gear is generally available, depending on if someone hasnt bought all of them-LOL, you can probably still go through any dz to get your demo, and you can probably call the manufacturer directly yourself.D.Chisolm C-28534webmaster@sunraydesigns.comhttp://www.sunraydesigns.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bear in mind that if you don't go to the dealers "local" DZ then you're paying the return shipping on any gear you demo (& don't buy). This can soon start to get expensive, so it's generally best for "Mohammed to go to the Mountain"!Mike D10270. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #4 March 23, 2001 If you live near or can travel to a large dz with a well stocked gear store you can check out many different types/sizes of canopies all in one weekend, and in some cases take your new toy home with you It's a bit harder to get ahold of container demos. If you are trying to decide between several different containers go to a major boogie or a large dz's gear store where there are demo containers available. pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
