Hello all,
Now that I finally did a non-tandem jump, I can safely and confidently say that I am completely hooked on this sport. While I am very far from making my own purchasing decisions, I was wondering if it would even make sense for someone like me. The equipment is expensive, and if I only end up jumping a few times a month, I could rent gear for a long time before I make up what I would spend on my own gear no?
The only other thing I can think of, is that by owning my own gear, I would be consistently jumping with the same equipment, which I bet would make me more confident and able to fly better. Is that the case? I guess I would like opinions on the subject. $2000-$6000 can get you a lot of rental jumps. Is it worth buying?
Thank you and Blue Skies!
