Yea, I know you've been practicing

Thanks, I'll try to remember that . . . . this time

Must have been the two days I was hibernating in my apartment with the heat cranked and the comforter pulled over my head

Maybe we could talk Johno into hijacking a Caravan. We all know how he'd hate to miss out on the party

Well Lisa, it does get cold for that week or two. Every couple years, it will even get into the low 50s.

Well, guess I should add myself to the Count Me In list. About 99.5% sure I'll be there. Not gonna get much more definite than that. Wendy, count me in for a donation and some floor space. May even bring a bottle of Mezcal . Let me know if you need help with anything else.

New to the sport and looking to purchase my first rig. I've come across this one and was wondering if it was a deal or not. All gear was assembled new in December 2002. The rig is as follows: Wings container - All stainless hardware with articulated harness (10 jumps) PD Sabre 2 210 main (10 jumps) PD 193R reserve (0 jumps) Cypress Sunshine Factory gear bag Bonehead Mindwarp Helmet Goggles Michigan RW Suit Headfirst Freefly Suit Altimaster III Galaxy altimeter Price is $3,500. Let me know what you think.

$2,500 includes jump suit, goggles, alti, and helmet. Cypres is 8 years old. No word yet on whether it is current or not.

The complete rig is a Javelin J4 Container with a C-18 harness, the Falcon 215 Main, a Raven II reserve, and a cypres. The whole rig has less than 50 jumps on it. The harness may be a bit big, but I spoke with Sun Path and they didn't feel it would be a problem.

I've been jumping a Navigator 240 and a Sabre 230 depending on what's available at the time. The main is fairly new (it has less than 50 jumps on it), though I'm not quite sure how quickly the F-111 material starts to breakdown. I think ideally, I'd like to jump the Falcon until I can save up for a Sabre 2 210. I'm aware there's a lot to learn, but also think a lot of growth and progression occurs in the beginning. I'd just hate to be buying such large canopies if I'd be progressing and downsizing quickly.

New to skydiving and loving it. Looking to buy my own rig and found one with a Falcon 215 main. I've spoken with some people at the DZ and they feel the size is about right for me (I'm 5'-10" 190lbs approx exit weight around 210), but haven't heard or know much about the Falcon Canopy. I'd be curious to know more about the canopy. I'm looking for a canopy I can have fun jumping and grow with as my experience increase. Not one that I'll become bored with easily.
