  3. Following a manufacturer's recommendation. Interesting concept. Guess it doesn't apply to canopy type and experience level. BTW, KellyF is VSE. When I got my rig, he said risers go under both flaps. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  6. An I-34 also has a 143 reserve. Are you sure you want to be on a reserve that small when your main is a 188? 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  7. I trunk pack at the end of each day's jumping. I was taught this by an oldtimer. He said that if he got in a car accident and died, it would just kill him that he wasted a packjob. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  12. After talking with JT at Moab, I applaud the steps he is taking to provide training at the academy. The jumpers receive very focused training and expect the WS training will live up to these high standards. That is not what happens for most noobies at most DZs. My concern is that some 108 jump wonder will use this example as a reason as to why their mad skilz will allow them to start wingsuiting way too early. So folks, let's keep our discussion to supergirl's question and leave the freshly minted trainers out of it. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  13. you shoulda asked... Careful, Mr. Master has a padlock just waiting to be used. Don't let this thread drift to far, or else. actually, I'm hoping one of the mods can clean up the boobie related bullshit out of this by tomorrow morning... But boobies are good and get us extra altitude. That = very good. Questioning why things are done in the WS community, get ready for Mr. Padlock. That is thread drift. 50 donations so far.

  17. Very rough numbers. Haven't priced a full rig lately, but figure $1500-2000 for basic container, $1700 for main, $1000 for reserve and $1400 for AAD, you do the math( or maths for our non US of A readers). Dealer final prices can vary widely. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  18. It can also depend on the number of jumps you would do while saving up for your own gear. I'll use my case as an example. I did about 15 jumps a month right off student status. My DZ charged $25 per jump including pack job. That would run me $375 per month. At six months it would be $2250 paid and nothing to show for it. I found a complete system of a '94 Talon with PD canopies on here that included an AAD with 2 years left of it. It wasn't pretty, but was affordable. Even with some minor maintenance, final cost was under $2k. I paid cash, but even if I financed it in the six months of the rental period example, current interest rate on a personal loan would push final around the $2250. So at the end of the six months, loan is paid off and I have the rig as well. I bet I could sell the rig today minus the AAD and get near $1500 since the used gear market follows price increases of new gear. I put 400 jumps on the rig and still have it. I encourage every jumper to buy resellable gear as soon as possible. It doesn't have to be pretty or the newest. There is always some new jumper looking for an affordable newbie sized rig to use as they get enough jumps for a canopy size they will stay on long enough to warrant a new/pretty container. 50 donations so far.

  25. Took up a couple new birds recently for their FFC. Both had GoPros. Both were asked to remove them, which they did without argument. Depending on how heads up they were on their first jump, I *might* let them wear it on their next coached jump. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
