Ducky's BEER Rig!!!!!!!

[Ducky 0]

Well I FINALLY got my beer rig together!
Pic attached

Its a Javelin J-2 (1993 model) Cricket Reserve, and Cypres fresh back from it's 8 year w/ new batteries. I purchased from Mike @ American Skydiving Systems in Biloxi. Removed the ROL and added a new BOC, added dive loops and new stows and velcro on the risers. Nice guy and good looking work.

I may have paid a bit high ($1375), but I'm ok w/ what I paid after getting the run around on the net. I had 3 different sellers flake out on me, all from the DZ.com classifieds.

I went out to the DZ yesterday and started asking round about a main and was bout to give in and order a new Hornet. Luckiliy got turned on to a used Sabre 150 w/ 280 jumps in excellent shape for $700. It's more than I really wanted to pay for such a canopy, BUT I was anxious to jump my rig. I hate ordering things. I like instant gratification ya know? Pay for it play w/ it the same day

Anyways, many of you here have been a big help in my endless search for gear and I just wanted to say thanx. I am so glad it's over, for now!!

Sometimes your the bug, sometimes your the windshield. Sometimes your the hammer sometimes your the nail. Question is Hun, Do you wanna get hammered or do you wanna get nailed?????

I should take and attach a picture of my beer rig, but I'm lazy at the moment. I got a Dolphin (98) and Tempo 170 (98, no rides), and a Cypres (96, new batteries). On Monday, I'm dropping it off to a rigger for full inspection and repack. It looks really clean and fits really well. I paid $1150 for it. I ordered a new Hornet 170 for $945, so I have a few weeks to go before I can get it in the air. I was trying to find a used one, but didn't have much luck. I figure I did pretty good, anyway. I didn't want to spend big money on a first rig, when I'll probably be tempted to move on in a few hundred jumps. I can't wait to jump it.

It sounds like you did well on your rig too. Congrats!
