GeekStreak 0 #1 June 25, 2001 I name all my vehicles... Always have.Have you graced you rig with a moniker? What's he/she called?1111,GeekStreak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyke 0 #2 June 25, 2001 Well, I haven't yet, but everyone at Monroe (Cyber can attest to this) has given mine one....It ranges from anywhere between "the dinosaur", "that old piece of sh#@", that "ugly ass rig", and of course my riggers favourite, "well, I wouldn't jump it!"So, they can yuck it up all they want 'cause I am about 2 paychecks from a used Javelin and hopefully about 2 more from a main!!!Kia Kaha,PykeNZPF A - 2584 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #6 June 25, 2001 QuoteMine's "The Mistress" cuz my wife is jealous of her and I jump her on the weekends. That's great! I hope your wife sees the humor in it. I'm still working on a name for my rig, but I won't steal yours. I'll have to ponder this one for awhile.Justin"If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

GeekStreak 0 #7 June 25, 2001 LMAO @ "The Mistress". That's a good one I remember reading about the Franken-Rig somewhere on this site. Pyke, Is that your rig?1111,GeekStreak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msdeva 0 #9 June 25, 2001 Mine's 'in'. I bought it used - it belonged to a guy named Kevin. Of course I couldn't leave that there - so now it's 'in'. Works out pretty well - anyone asks "Who's in?" I'm IN!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyke 0 #10 June 25, 2001 Sadly NO, Geek...the "infamous" frankenrig is not mine...although I am sure when I arrived my rigger wanted to name it that!I don't have any clue what this frankenrig refers to, but evidently it is a well known legend/myth/story about a rig in particular. Some things...you just shouldn't ask/know!!Kia Kaha,PykeNZPF A - 2584 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazerq3 0 #12 June 25, 2001 This may sound cheesy but I named mine HERO. For two reason 1. My wifes first and middle name is Heather Rose HE...RO. 2. As soon as I leave the plane I'm a dead man, but who always comes to my rescue to save my butt...My HERO (the rig)!!!!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 #13 June 26, 2001 QuoteThe Frankenrig belongs to our brother Shark. Check out the picture here.Ahh, yes. Figured one of ya would post it. In fact, I'm not sure if the Frankenrig was even *voted* as being mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donna 0 #14 June 26, 2001 My rig doesn't have a name but my main does.... Myra... named after my late daughter's favorite doll. I know she'll bring me good luck. I plan on naming my reserve but I'm not sure I'm keeping this one yet so I'm waiting a bit.I always name my cars, too.... always female names so I know I can rely on them... current one is Emmy.Skies,D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VivaHeadDown 0 #15 June 26, 2001 Right now it's named Shannon, but that's because it used to belong to this guy named shannon who jumps for PD. I figured it brought him good fortune in skydiving, so maybe I shouldn't be too hasty in changing the KARMA in the threading. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pammi 0 #16 June 26, 2001 I just usually call her sweetheart. It's kinda amusing when Merrick answers and I tell him I wasn't talking to him...I called my main 'bitch' for the first time last weekend (I generally won't because I don't want to hurt her feelings) but it just kind of slipped out after a particularly bad twisty opening. I immediately apologized and gave her an extra 'zerbert' while packing her the next time to further make amends :)PammiSome new pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingMarc 0 #17 June 26, 2001 Hmm... I'm just learning to pack, and still jumping massive 300' ZP student rigs with springloaded pilot chutes... so as you can imagine I've come up with many a name to call them in my struggles to get first the bag, then the container closed... I can't WAIT till I get to use a rig with a throw-out PC...Marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
