PhreeZone 20 #2 August 18, 2003 Xenia Ohio (About an hour southwest on I-71) has the summer home of Rigs and Things Paraservice. Roy has a full gear store on site and can order in anything you are missing.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarrenScott 0 #3 August 19, 2003 Howdy from Columbus Ohio! I am still a student (13 jumps) and i don't know of any gear shops besides the one at my home DZ Aerohio (2 hours north). It is a pretty small shop and I think they order most of their gear. What are you coming to Ohio for? Are you going to do any jumps while your here?

canopycandy 0 #4 August 19, 2003 Try Skydive Wayne County. They're just about two hours from Columbus, a straight shot on I-70. They have an on-site pro shop, and if you happen to be there during the boogie, I've heard they have TONS of vendors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
