what is better to get used or new?
firstime replied to swoopfly's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I bought new fresh out of the gate (everything). I am by no means rich but that is the way I am. I could have saved a bunch of $ had I went for used but I started in my late 40's. I guess everyone's situation is different. -

Hey try a downwind,.. maybe it might scare the bejesus out of them and stick with their current canopy............ Is it just me, or does this sound stupid? My intentions were to say know your canopy, upwind downwind , crosswind prior to downsize, I made a wrong assumption that you might have got my point. We all preach "don't listen to what you read here" My statement had some validity but politically incorrect. sorry I rattled your cage bro....
