Deleted 0 #1 August 21, 2002 OK, a select few of you have seen my canopy now, and like the nice people you were, there was nary a single snide comment about its color. Quite a few frinds wanted to see this "Under a grand" rig. They said, "No way! A Sabre 135, Vector II, and Cricket 145 reserve under a grand?". I say yes, Container and Main-$500, Reserve-$349, Shipping, inspection, assembly, reserve assembly and repack, and adding a BOC pouch-$100 and a 12 pack of beer (yet to be consumed though). Downside? The only one I could find is it needs a re-line. That will be done at PD in December. Here is myself and my buddy Billy Wood, after my landing on my last jump Sunday, the last day of the convention. (Gotta love that no-helmet, windblown hair look...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasmin 0 #9 August 21, 2002 QuoteGig'em, it can also be spelled with 2 P's, SAPPS: Skydivers Against Pink (and) Purple Shit. Purple is the colour of sexual frustration, I thought you guys'd be happy to see it....on someone else!! Mwaaahaaaahaaahaaa My rig is purple red and orange: sexually frustrated, passionate/pissed-off, hyper-active. The canopy is similar colours, so draw your own conclusions or tell us what colours your gear has!xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Cheap, nicem and useable gear. That's all I cared about. Loading the Sabre at 1.4, it flys SWEET! Yea, it's pink, but at least it's not Neon pink, and it's got teal ribs.....that helps.....a little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Dave, if I'd known your aversion to the Purple, I wouldn't have let you jump my oh so purple kit.....
