riggerrob 558 #1 February 26, 2002 This question was posed on another thread.How does a new jumper choose a rigger?Start by asking around.Who packs reserves for the school?How neat are the school rigs?How neat is his/her personal gear?A rigger's best advertisement is his last pack job.Who packs for the videographers?Who packs for the skygods?How many years has this rigger been rigging?How many reserves has he repacked?How many square reserves has he repacked?Has he worked in a parachute factory?Does he have enough sewing machines and ratings to do major repairs?Has he attended a recent PIA Symposium?Has he taught any new riggers recently?Has he packed for any retired presidents?Is he biased against any brand of gear?Is his loft close enough to the DZ that you can drop off your rig Sunday evening?Does he consistently turn gear around in one week?The last question you should ask is price.In skydiving - as in most other aspects of life - you get what you pay for.

PhreeZone 15 #2 February 26, 2002 All excellent questions.When was the last time he/she repacked your style of rig.Do they know of all the AD's for your setup if any?What are they doing to stay informed about new gear?Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud... ~ Bush Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
