aulbjerg 0 #2 August 19, 2004 If you not are sure what disipline you are gonna do... Then you should wait for a while before getting gear... Things you need anyway, is a altimeter googles and maybe a helmet... But skydiving gear is not free! I dont think people are giving it away... But happy hunting!! --- BLUES - Jacob D-601, Denmark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #3 August 19, 2004 Now never say never! I once gave away an old container (actually did that twice). Nothing pretty, but airworthy. When there is a will. There is a way. Where you at?

WrongWay 0 #5 August 19, 2004 As for jumpsuits and such, that depends on what you wanna do. As for a container, get something freefly friendly to start off with. That way you have less of a chance having a premature opening, risers coming out, etc, and if you decide 100 jumps down the road to try sitflying, you won't have to worry about your gear coming apart. It's a hell of a lot better than getting to that point and saying "Ah, it'll be fine just this once....."

skip 0 #6 August 19, 2004 Thats prety funny becasue about 2 years ago there was the guy jumping out at spaceland who had a canopy to sell which I offered to sell for him over the internet. Well the canopy sold so quick and I guess he was impressed with my computing and networking skills that he called me up one day and started telling me about all these problmes he was having with his kidneys etc. etc. and he point blank very frankly asked me if I could try to find him a kidney for sale on the internet. Bwhhh. True story - I could try and track him down if you would like. .:skip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jose 0 #7 August 19, 2004 Ok, if you are going to become a regular "skydiver", you are going to need BOTH of your kidneys..... Trust me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #13 August 20, 2004 Hey, I did the same thing. Last May when I got my new container, I gave my old one away to some one very special that I know some day will use it. I admit, the container is kind of tired, but will work just fine for a person starting out.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
