Albatross 0 #1 March 17, 2001 I had to put this up here because only you guys would understand. I just rolled out of bed and made my way to coffee after a great night and $100 in drinks for my skydiving buddies. It was my FIRST RIG. I can't beleive it is real. I finally won one of the auctions but now I have to wait for at least a week for the seller to get back into town before I can even think about getting my hands on it. This is going to be the longest week of my life. I have the whole weekend set up for when I get MY rig. Fri, Sat, Sun camping at the DZ; Jumps with Skydive U; my friend's openning A licence jump; and my premere as an owner not a renter. How did the rest of you deal with the wait?Blue Skys and Safe LandingsAlbatross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbnote 0 #7 March 20, 2001 You need to walk around your house with nothing on but your rig to get that "new rig" feeling. You must also "Christen" your rig, your girl/boyfriend might laugh at first but convince them this is an extremely important aspect of our sport, and not to pull the silver handle during the throws of passion. You must also christen your canopy as well. This is a little more fun, and you don't look as goofy to your partner. Yahoo,Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albatross 0 #8 March 21, 2001 I don't want to have to get the stains out of my new gear after I christen it. I mean I am going to be bummer the first time that I get grass stains on it. Although my girlfriend might enjoy being in the harness.Blue Skys and Safe LandingsAlbatross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
