councilman24 37 #1 December 20, 2002 I would suggest consideration of separate gear and rigging forums. While they may overlap, "which is better, x or y canopy" isn't the same as "how do I pack this." PIA riggers forum hasn't caught on yet. I'd appreciate a forum for rigging only so I didn't have to sort through the gear stuff if I didn't want to. TerryI'm old for my age.

markbaur 0 #2 December 20, 2002 ly disagree. The canopy performance questions have properly migrated to the canopy control/swooping or CRW forums. As a rigger, I am interested in gear issues (fit, construction, durability, freefly-friendliness, etc.) whether they involve rigs and canopies, or accessories like helmets and altimeters. I think the G&R forum signal-to-noise ratio is pretty good. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are what helps all of us provide information to our customers. Just thought I'd suggest "Gear" and "Rigging" separate. Mark, have we met at a symposium sometime? TerryI'm old for my age.

Jessica 0 #4 December 20, 2002 QuoteI would suggest consideration of separate gear and rigging forums. I would really support that. The "real" rigging questions get lost in the crush of "Cobalt opinions?" and "Micron opinions?" posts. It works as is, but it could be a more sharply defined resource.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
