boris_73 0 #1 August 24, 2006 Hello, if you are an ex AFF student at free fall addicts you can buy a sponsored rig at a "specially sponsored price" does anybody know how much it is and what rig it is, i have tried to contact them by email but im guessing they are busy as i have had no reply.

maxdog 0 #2 August 24, 2006 When I was there they were very busy, jumping all day and in the bar all night , but they will reply. You could try the forum on their website, a lot of their ex-students use it and they may know. If this is your first rig you may wish to consider used kit as you’ll probably want to downsize from your large student canopy in a few hundred jumps, and this could you quite a bit of cash that you’ll need for your training. But speak with your instructor first.PH36 Canopy Formation Team. www.skydive99.com www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/PH36-Canopy-Formati Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #3 August 24, 2006 Also ask a local rigger to thoroughly inspect the rig before any money changes hands. Usually the rigger will find some wear point and you can often talk the seller into reducing the sale price to match the cost of repairs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 256 #4 August 25, 2006 From their site, i think they have a deal going with Aerodyne for a pilot/smart/icon package. Could that be what you are talking about?Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joellercoaster 6 #5 August 25, 2006 The FFA "sponsored student" rigs are brand new Aerodyne kit; there won't be quite the same need for rigger instpection (at least not if you're hoping to talk them down on price due to wear -- "I'll tell you how all skydivers are judged, .

mikew02 0 #6 August 29, 2006 Hi there, You have to be an ex student of the FFA to be considered for a sponsored rig. Looking at your post history and profile you dont seem to have done an AFF course yet?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brabzzz 0 #7 August 29, 2006 Heya, out of curiosity, what is the super special sponsored deal? For a truly cheaper rig i'd happily advertise anything and be sponsored by anyone! --------------------------------------- Ex-University of Bristol Skydiving Club www.skydivebristoluni.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
