Rig Demos

[Rover7 0]

I would love to demo certain rigs before making a purchase. How do I go about doing this. I would love to demo Javelin, Mirage and Vectors before making a decision on which to purchase.

All great rigs. I'd suggest the Infinity from VSE as well. Love mine.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

where is your regular DZ ? where can you visit ? It can help to visit a major center where you can try all of the above, plus other manufacturers. ll of them deserve the chance to try to sell you YOUR rig.

i'm in ny/nj area. i can travel anywhere to try some rigs. i assume florida would be my best choice for demos?

Demo rigs can usually be arranged by calling the factories or seeing them at a boogie. The thingto remember about demo's is they are not built for you, they are a generic size and they try to put you in the one that is closest to what you will be looking to have built. The demo may be a little larger or smaller but it can get you a rough idea of the fit. Some demo rigs fit better then others, but a custom fit rig would fit completely differently thne the demo rigs. Call and ask but most manufactors are in FL so its easy to arrange a trip, tour their factories and have the factory measure you if you decide to order their rig.

is there a specific dz in florida that would have the top manufactures rigs available for demo?

square 3 at cross keys has several different manufacturerers rigs for rent. not as good as a free demo, but not a bad investment considering the cost of a new rig. might even be able to make a deal for a reduced rate if you ultimately order a rig from them.





edited because i got my squares mixed up.

Give Sonic at the Ranch a call. He's got a gear store and may have some demo equipment. I know they've got rental gear.

I was up at Skydive Long Island, Batavia, and Sky's the Limit this summer with 4 demo rigs. I wish you would have asked sooner. I'd suggest going to big DZ's and renting/Demoing gear from them to see the different types of containers.
