riggersam 1 #2 September 14, 2003 How much do you weigh and when/where do you intend to use this for BASE? I used a 1982 Wonderhog Vector/Cruislite for BASE before (early/mid-90s) - when I weighed less (around 170 lbs). I tip the scale around 190 now. I currently use a Vertex and a FOX 265 for BASE. Personally, If I bought another canopy now, I would strongly consider going larger yet. PM me if you have questions or need help with anything. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinflicka 0 #4 September 14, 2003 Hey Viking boy, I believe the gear is for skydiving in order to get the jumping experience before he hucks himself off a bridge. Looks like a good deal too. Good luck to the boy. Your advice is on the money though...use BASE gear for BASE (and for picking up chicks). Skin.$kin.
