JaapSuter 0 #1 June 26, 2005 Moderator; I'm not sure what the policy is on this forum, so if the nature of this post is too bonfire-y, just move it somewhere else. Anyway, I just wanted to let everybody know that if you happen to live in the Vancouver BC, Canada neighbourhood; do your rigging business with Rigger Rob! He is incredibly skilled, has been around for many many years, he is a walking encyclopedia but won't be afraid to grab the reference book and his workmanship and attention to detail are above and beyond. Today I needed something fixed in a hurry to prepare for a trip next weekend. Rob decided to sneak the extra work into his incredibly busy schedule. Thanks Rob. You set a benchmark! ...it's also his birthday today! Cheers to a happy mid life crisis! I'm looking forward to testing your plagiarisms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tso-d_chris 0 #9 June 27, 2005 QuoteHis head will explode if you guys keep it up. Actually, I don't know RiggerRob or his work. I just wanted to emphasize that that attention to detail, and a willingness to always learn more about skydiving equipment are two very important characteristics of a rigger, no matter where you jump or with what brand equipment. I have met several great master riggers, and these are their common characteristics. For Great Deals on Gear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
