MrBrant 0 #1 December 8, 2004 Hey there. Love the new classifieds. I accually bought my gear through the classifieds. My suggestion would be to have fields for info for newbies looking for gear. i.e. Shape: Square/Semi-E/eliptical material: F-111/ZP etc. etc. I know when i was shopping for gear, my instructors gave me guidelines (i.e 220sqft, square, ZP) When i started looking, I found it really hard trying to dertermine what kind of gear would fit these guidelines. (size would be in description, but not usually material, or shape). - since I didn't know the difference between a katana, triathalon, or fury. The gear section (which rocks) helped me out alot (and I will admit, I learned quite a bit which was a plus), but it was kind of annoying to have to keep going back to check. If there were fields to fill in when people were making the classifieds (like the new ones recently put in) It might make gear shopping easier for the new guys. Thoughts?

Tintin 0 #2 December 9, 2004 Had the same thoughts myself. The Classifieds are great ....they could just do with breaking down a wee bit more. Either that or a criteria search engine. Not being ungrateful or picky. ------------------------------------------------- Please forgive the sp errors, I have dyslexia.

PhreeZone 20 #3 December 10, 2004 Ideally before you purchace any gear you sould sit down with your instructors and rigger and show them all the listings that you think might work for you. You should then discuss the pros and cons of each canopy and container to make sure you are getting a rig that will grow with you. Its no good to get a new canopy if you are going to end up buying a rig that will not do the type of skydiving that you want to do. Work with your instructors instead of deciding on your own what you think is best for you. Get names of canopies they think you might like, then learn everything about those canopies. There are great reviews in the Gear section on here to start from.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
