woodpecker 0 #1 September 16, 2005 Anyone know where I can get custom handles made for my Icon. Or a place to send the existing handles to have it done? Realized after I recieved my custom rig that I should have put someting crafty on both of them.SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

WatchYourStep 0 #2 September 16, 2005 The manufacturer won't do it? On my cutaway handle I got "OH" and on my reserve handle I got "SHIT" I'll post pictures when it gets here.

woodpecker 0 #3 September 16, 2005 Funny! Good friend of mine recently had the exact same thing on his. Didnt think about sending it back to the manufacturer. Guess, I'll start there.SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IanHarrop 37 #4 September 16, 2005 Don't be surprised if they recommend making new handles rather than getting done to your old ones. The up side is your equipment is still usable while new handles are getting made."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woodpecker 0 #6 September 16, 2005 Emailed Aerodyne and handles are being ordered. Thanks for the reminder that I got my rig from a manufacturer.

woodpecker 0 #8 September 16, 2005 Thats funny. I wonder if he knows Plan-B is the day after pill too. Just to spark up this post....I am interesting in what everyone would like to see on the handles. The more humor, the better. If its real good, you might just see it at a DZ near you.SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

LawnDart21 0 #18 September 16, 2005 "Ebb and flow" has a bunch of meanings: 1) its of course a tidal thing, the ocean's tides ebb and flow, they go up and down 2) a company's profits are said to ebb and flow (go up and down) based on market conditions 3) more specific to the handles question, EBB: in a depleted condition FLOW: adapt to a situation While not as obvious as "Plan B"....lol I like the whole "Ying-Yang" expression of EBB & FLOW" -- My other ride is a RESERVE.

BlindBrick 0 #20 September 16, 2005 I'm saving up for new handles. Cutaway is going to say "C Ya" and my reserve ripcord is going to say "Double or Nothin'" -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

kelpdiver 2 #21 September 16, 2005 How many letters can you clearly get on a single pillow? VIRGIN comes to mind for the cutaway, though perhaps it temps fate. Have slim D for the reserve, so no letters there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
