itsokrelax 0 #1 July 27, 2006 Hi all! I am new to the sport of skydiving and am currently in the training phase on jump 10. I very much love skydiving and am looking forward to buying my own gear. Only problem is that I don't know what to buy or what the best way to go about finding it is. Just baught an altimeter on EBay for 90 dollars figuring I couldn't mess that one up. Everything else I need help with. Please Help! Sorry if this has been posted many times before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,541 #2 July 27, 2006 A couple of links to start you off: FAQ about buying your first rig Some tips on buying your first rig Choosing your canopy Taking care of your new gear Not that you can't ask questions before reading them, but there's a wealth of information in there, and you'll come up with much cooler questions after reading at least the first one... Enjoy the hunt Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

jeremy556 0 #4 July 27, 2006 Read those links, and get advise from your instructors on gear. From that go out and research and get demos to decide what you want to purchase. I wouldn’t think about buying a container or canopies until you have 25-50 jumps and have tried out different options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
