Radioshack 0 #1 July 6, 2007 I am just starting out in the skydiving world with about 68 jumps in just over a year... I'm going to college here at the University of Arizona (working as a computer programmer/web designer at the Eller College of Business ), and am dire need of a rig. Currently I rent my gear at square2 (Eloy) for about $75 + hook up/take down, which cost me a lot just for the gear... so in turn i only jump every other month... I am wondering if you guys know of anyone that might want help updating/creating/programming a website in return for a rig (container/main/res/etc). I love the sport so much!Thanks again for all your help! -Matt [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,120 #5 July 6, 2007 Buildarig.com has them both beat hands down . However, while his prices are good, he likes the website that way. But go looking at used gear, too. You might find that it's easier to trade services for something costing $1500 than $5000 Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 259 #7 July 6, 2007 Quote+ hook up/take down Are you paying someone to hook it up and take it apart for you? 'Bout time to learn to do that for yourself... not only will you save a few bucks you'll also know more about gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benblee 0 #8 July 6, 2007 I might have beat you to that a little while ago. I can tell you that most manufacturers are pretty old school and because skydiving is a world wide sport (and most of the world has pretty bad internet connections), they like the sites to be fast loading with not much for extras. If you'd like, you could critique some of my work: http://www.CollegeSkydiving.com OK, so it's a pretty big front page, but this is for college students with plenty fast internet connections. I'd love a few pointers. I didn't make any money for this one, in fact, I had to fund everything about it. It's just a site that was needed and it's been pretty fun to work on. There's a great group on the forum there and some pretty cool people to jump with.Ben Lee www.CollegeSkydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it you never got my (twice sent) texts, asking for dates, and tips on the best day? I just finally checked it out at eaa.org, and after seeing the schedule for fly bys and performances, I think Sunday is a can't miss. So, yea, probably Sunday.It's your life, live it!

ffejdraga 0 #11 July 7, 2007 I am in dire need of a website, and I have a container I could hook you up with...however it is built for me at 6'1", holds up to a sabre 150, and down to Sabre 120. It used to have a PD143 reserve in it, and it is a racer. It is probably not ideal for you, too small at this stage of the game. But hey, I also live near phoenix, near Eloy. Maybe we can figure something out...coach jumps, etc. jeff D-16906 [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
