  4. Hi all, Discovered the Dropzone.com a few days ago. New to the sport, began in Sep 02. My current home DZ is in Central (or southern depending who you ask) California, a small DZ in TAFT. I'm relocating to the east coast for a short 9 month stint in Virginia Beach/Norfolk area then down to Saint Augustine FL. where I plan on living in the Palm coast area about 40 mins. from Deland. I am looking forward to getting there!!! I visited Deland in Jan, I was actually on the DZ when Columbia launched, they sent up two loads that morning to get a 12000 foot view of the launch, I didn't make the jump but it was a great site to see! (And all the video afterwards!) I'm in a J5 with a Sabre 190, I just ordered my Odyssey (18 week delivery time now... you know Sunpath is busy!) and I'll looking to drop a Sabre 2 - 170 in it, so if anyone knows anyone down sizing from a 170 and needs to part with one, let me know!

    Javelin

    Being new to this sport I find myself how do I write a review on my Javelin that might be useful for others if read. After my first AFF I knew I was hooked and spent COUNTLESS hours reading about every Rig and Rig manufacturer I could. I even went as far as to call their customer service reps, ask questions, leave voice mails just to see how responsive they were to my questions/concerns/needs. By the time I was off student status and getting very tired of renting equipment to jump I took all my new found knowledge to my instructors and asked for his opinion. I had my mind set on a Javelin and much to my delight, he agreed! (He has two rigs, one f which is his favorite Javelin. After getting a great deal on a J5, I needed it cut dwon from a C20 to a C17. Off to Javelin it went, and this is where my customer service testing was put to test. Sunpath was MORE than helpful, told me exactly what I needed to do. To make the long of it short, they got my rig, turned my request around in 1 day and emailed me with prices of what I wanted done, and ONE piece of recommended work (Bridal cover addition) they suggusted. They told me what it would cost, when it would be done, how it would be shipped and when it would be on my doore step. Two and a half weeks later there is was as promised! Like I sais, I am new to the sport and do not have much to compare it with, but I know it's 1000 times better than any student/rental (Telesis, Dolphin) I used. It packs easy, protects the risers perfectly, it's sturdy, and cleans up well when I do my best Pete Rose landing in the dirt! PLUS NO VELCO!!!! How can you not like that! Blue Skies!
