Got my rig :)

Recommended Posts

So I finally got the rig I bought from a skydiving buddy. Had the reserve repacked as it had expired (got to jump it like four times the last day before it expired) and I went down to the same dropzone where the rigger hangs out and she repacked it :) Made a total of ten jumps and it was awsome!!! (to quote Stump) :D :D :D

It's a PD Silhouette 190, a PD 160 reserve, a Javelin container and a Cypres AAD.

very cool!

may i ask how much you paid for it? how old, how many jumps?



I paid about 3800 usd and it has about 500 jumps on it (not sure if that's pricey or not). The problem with rigs over here is that the SFF (swedish version of uspa) had a thing called "the new deal" were they put a lot of new jumpers through AFF which was great, except for the prices on used gear that is about right for a new jumpers, so prices has gone up quite a bit.

Cool deal! I bet you feel free now, not having to rent anymore. ;)



I'm really excited and happy with it even though it was a lot of money... but then again, I've spent more on cameras the last few years and none of them have the real potential och saving my life from certain death :D

What's up with the guitar?;)



Ah, that's one of my long standing passions... or long but I've played for the last six years or so, it's great and I love doing it but my focus kind of shifts between my different hobbies, sometimes I photograph like crazy and then I play guitar for a while and cook or whatever but the one hobby that's always stuck with me is flighgtsimmin which is so cool (and so nerdy) B|

I am happy for you my friend.

I jump a Silhouettel 190 too. How do you like those soft openings and landings?

Stay safe!



The landings are really cool even coming from a student Navigator 260 :D
