    It could be that it's just not marked in the right place. Cock it and snap it back and forth to see if it's catching air. Have an experienced instructor or rigger help you determine if it is cocked enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    You would have to have a lot of disposable income to get something THAT custom foryour first canopy. The resale value will not be even close to what you paid for it when you decide to sell. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Based on my experience, Aerodyne offers the most cost effective custom designs. The Pilot or Solo would be good choices. You may even consider a Triathlon from them. PM me some details with your experience, and I can help you decide some of the more important details. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Does it look bad? Can you post a pic? I bet once the initial shock wears off, you'll like it fine. Especially when you jump it and realize you're not spending much time looking at your mud-flap. If it still bugs you this winter, then send it back when you're not jumpin'. 'Cause right now it's jumping season, and you have a brand new rig!!!!! SKYDIVE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

    Anyone need a ride? I'm heading out in the RV solo and could use the company. There is only one rule: I drive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Good boy Roy! Acknowledging her in her most deserving way. Congrats Lany! I want one of your jumps. I'll try to get my shit together for you. My cypres should be back by the time I am from Rantoul. Maybe you'll be done by then? Now where is my booty pic? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    What the hell happend to my reply. Must have been the system and not me! Anyway. I just wanted to say, that you don't have to party there to have fun. You'll surely find gear and learn a lot, even if you don't jump. Look me up when you get there and I'll show you around a bit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Skydiving will make you sore. Unless you spent your whole life up until now walking around in the arch position with someone holding your arms back. Your body will adapt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    If you get in a jam, stop by Gravity Gear. I usually have a small tent packed in our RV, and extra sleeping bags. Just promise not to puke in it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    www.ActionAir.com They make them there. You may have to actually pick up the phone and call. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    As a gear dealer for both new and used gear, I do have a policy for used gear sales. I qualify the buyer first over the phone to make sure the gear is appropriate. Have them take some measurements to see if it will be a good fit. Then I make sure I convey the condition of the gear. Any wear, patches, etc. The buyer pays for the gear in full. They have two weekends to make sure that it is a good match. If it is not, then they can return it on their dime for a refund. It gets tricky when it is two individuals making the deal. There is the trust factor. The buyer may not feel comfortable realasing so much money to a stranger. The seller may not feel comfortable sending an expensive piece of equipment to a stranger. Can you find a suitable "middle man"? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Well then kids are really going to annoy you. 'Cause they end up with everything backwards and upside down. I think that just make the pic charming and more realistic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I'm dead meat. But I sincerely want to wish ChopChop a happy belated birthday! Our little DZ would not be the same without you! I'm really glad you were born.... ... uh... 29 years ago yesterday! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    On a similar note: If you buy a used canopy with a couple hundred jumps on it, then put 100 jumps on it, you can generally sell it for $1 less per jump. Sometime, even the same if you keep it in realy good shape. So that is what most folks do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I was sitting here making sarcastic remarks. Then I clicked that damned picture and my jaw dropped. Damn! Hot! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    What color was the rig? Did you bleed on it? I cut my finger once packing a customers brand new WHITE Javelin. Cudos to Sun Path. The blood wiped right off. Anyways Sid. I hear chicks dig riggers with puncture wounds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Do you mean you want to rent gear off site? That's a tough one. Most dealers and DZOs rent gear that stays at the drop zone. You can demo a Sabre2 170 from Performance Designs for about $50 for two weekends. But that doesn't give you much time. What are you doing for a reserve? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

    Nice. You've been doing your homework Grue. Do you want a part time job in a gear store in California?
