later and I have a custom made Tandem rig sitting in front of me. Mike F. from Jump Shack asked me to stop in Deland on my way to the BirdMan boogie in Sebastian yesterday, the last thing I expected to see was my Tandem rig. Mike and crew have truly done an outstanding job not only in getting it done extremely quick but in the attention to details. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance later today.

He just got Morgan's rig back to me, he resized the harness for her (so the used racer fits like a custom new rig) and replaced all the velcro...he also took the time to rebuild certain components like the main PC and sent a new reserve freebag/PC.

Squared away man. Mike is one cool cat.

Tandem Birdman.. now that would be kewl:)




You laugh but my Tandem rig looks just like my Birdman rig only a tad bit bigger. The amazing thing is it weighs in at 38 lbs. Yesterday in the loading area another tandem master asked me if I wanted to push my pilot chute in a little bit more. He was a bit surprised when I told him it was just my drouge,he had to do a double take. It is incredibly small in comparrison to a normal tandem rig and very comfortable.

and a TD400 Reserve



So thats why you were sweating when I walked in. I doubt anybody would think I had anything bigger than a 300 in there with as small as it is. Just one question though...did ya remember to take the molar strap off this time:P:D J/K

Thanks again Mike;)

Hey Scott, does your main have packing tabs?;) Your rig looks very smacky booty, but my shit still looks mo better.




No, Mike said tabs were for pussies who can't PRO pack so I didn't ask for them:P I think we both have 2 of the nicest tandem rigs out there right now. Hands down, it's a complete system that is hard to beat in weight, comfort,durability and performance.
