To get into freeflying, it is best to talk to any freeflyers at your DZ. They will almost certainly steer you away from head-down and jumping with more than one or two people. This is very sensible and don't be put off by it. In time, your skills will have improved enough to be able to safely jump with other freeflyers. If you feel that you are not improving by doing solos, then it is time to get some help. If on a budget, I advise doing a couple of coaching jumps, then practicing by yourself. There are many safety issues in freeflying which are less apparent or not there at all in other disciplines; get loads of advice and don't be too impatient. AS to your gear question, how much you spend between buying your rig and jumping it depends completely on the rig that you buy. You might see two, one which id a couple of hundred less than the other, but is ready to jump straight away. The cheeper one may well need a CYPRES service, reserve repack, relining etc,etc and could work out being more. Hope this is of some help. Blue skies.
