Skuzzlebutt 0 #1 October 28, 2008 I've acquired a PD170, thanks Nick btw. I need some old dead risers a bag and some steering toggles to attach to so I can work on proper line storage and what not. If anyone has any of these lying around collecting dust i'd gladly take them off your hands. I'll pay the shipping. I'll throw in a couple bucks for your time as well if you want. Direct email is [email protected]. Thanks in advance. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millertime24 8 #5 October 29, 2008 Of course you DO realize that packing an old worn out canopy is a totally different thing than packing a brand new one. Practice with the stuff you're getting (which was pretty cool of folks to hook you up with) to get the technique down then when you are at the dz see if someone with a newer setup will let you practice on theirs during some downtime. Thats how I learned anyway. Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skuzzlebutt 0 #6 October 29, 2008 thanks Jerry. So i guess all i need now is a matching set of risers. Yes i understand that i worn older canopy will be easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millertime24 8 #7 October 29, 2008 MUCH. You can pick up a set of risers for like 50 bucks all day long.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skuzzlebutt 0 #10 November 3, 2008 Thanks blink. I tried to bid on the one pair but i got out bid at the last second by .50 cents. Still looking for some old non air worthy risers... This is pushing it but perhaps someone has an old dead container??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
