  1. I'd offer 4000 for it, with my maximum being 4200. You're not getting a screaming deal, but it is not a rip off. Were you to buy that rig in a gear shop you'd probably pay 4300. I think a more accurate pricing would be container at 1200, the same for the main, about 8 for the reserve and 9 for the cypress
  2. Maybe Nick is busy with his, you know, job? If it bugs you, start your own list.
  3. Unacceptable compared to what I have no idea. The rig is by no means clapped out or ratty. It is a javelin in good condition. The dz rigger who does a complete inspection of our gear at every repack has no problems with it, and was the one who installed the boc. The jumper cut away first and lost both handles. Reserve freebag/bridle, and pilot chute were lost as well
  4. ...and now the facts...as I work for said rental agency, and have jumped said rig previously. Yes there was a rental agreement, which clearly states that the renter is responsible for all costs involving damaged or lost gear. The rig was received unpacked, and was taken to a dz packer to be hooked up, and packed No A liscense, but the jumper is cleared for self supervision. Unsure of what instructor had said, but others have said the gear is unacceptable, which I know to be untrue. The rig in question had the boc replaced several months ago, and I was the first to put several test jumps on it, before we released it back into the rental "fleet." The hard pull is blamed on the boc, and the supposed fact that the pc was balled up at the opening of the boc. Having jumped the rig several times, this boc is no different from any other, and I believe the packing error is to blame. The origional poster is not trolling, simply trying to find out what the general population thinks, after our little "discussion" over dinner

  19. Getting a little ahead of one's self maybe? 68 skydives and you're about to start base? 68 jumps and you're flying a 1.4 loaded wing? Me thinks this isnt a good idea... edit for thread title ~TA
  20. How about a tandem drouge instead?
  21. Anybody ever used or thought about using a motorcycle helmet for a full face? It would seem something designed to save you from hitting the concrete might work for our application. I would assume weight is the deciding factor here?
