Good in a sit any idea on headsdown how they are. Looking for a pair of pants good for all types of dives

Looking for anyone that owns a pair and if they do what are your likes and even dislikes about them. Looking at getting a pair in the next few weeks. Thanks

Rehab from car accident is over and looking to get back in the air after several months. Wanted to get some FF pants and looking to see who knows what company has the quickest turn around time on pants and how the quality of those pants are. Thanks

what was the best gear deal you ever got
SSkydiver replied to sight_burner's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
2000 Red/Black tyedye Javelin J2/Raven 181 reserve/cypress for $2000. Sabre 2 170 with 150 jumps for $800. -
I currently jump a J1 with a Sabre2 170 and a 181 Raven reserve. It is snug but i never have had a problem with it. Like the reply above, trust your rigger.

Drug seizure.....should i buy the rig
SSkydiver replied to SSkydiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
And as my post said, I didn't get in before the original post was deleted... got the impression from other posts that this MIGHT be the case. Reference to the fact that you used to be in law enforcement reinforced the possibility. I make no judgements either way but realised my opinion (and that's what was asked of me) would be different depending... so I provided you both opinions. Off my nuts! lol So, buy the rig dude! You have nothing to do with him losing it so it's not like adding insult to injury. Nothing to worry about. Quote -

no, originally it said that he had his house raided due to gunshots reported by neighbors. it seems that some people were thinking that by telling the dzo he was wanted in case they come looking for him, he was ratting someone out. this is not the case, it is simply letting friends know there may be a possibility of heat looking for him and giving them a chance to hide their questionable activities.

Quote Good question, i'm not sure but if it did go to auction i'm sure there are plenty of people in the auction business that would know how to get someone to but it.. Not sure about the rig being ligit, i have not seen it and for all that i'm aware of it belong to the guy. -

John, "Innocent until proven guilty" means the burden of proof is on them... to prove that you commited the crime. Once that is satisfied, you are a criminal. Your rights change. To the original poster, I missed the post before it was deleted. If I get the tone right. My vote is BUY THE RIG! it's cheap gear, if you don't buy it, another skydiver will... if another skydiver don't buy it... some whuffo will. You'd be doing the incarcerated jumper a service by jumping it and maintaining it and returning it to him at a decent price when he can use it again. However, judging by a few of the shorter responses, I get the feeling you may have played a small role in getting said "drug dealer" into the position he is in today. If that were the case and I were you, I wouldn't touch that rig with a 15 foot pole... and I would know that instinctively... without a DZ.com poll. QuoteNow thats pretty fucked up to even assume that. The way this came across is that i was in law enforcement and i know several cops and these cops know i jump. When this happened at the house they saw the rig and all and mentioned it to me if it were seized it would go up in auction. They were giving me the heads up on the rig. Thats the jist to the whole story. I only know he jumps at the dz i do because of log book and other papers found with the rig. As far as rating him out to everyone, that wasnt the case if you read the post right. I made mention to the DZO and only the DZO. And i'll tell you one thing, its like others have said, if i didnt get it another jumper would. Lets just "assume here seeing how everyone does. If someone told you the had lets say a VooDoo rig with a Crossfire 2 169, a PD 160 reserve, cypress and it fit and its only 1 year old with 200 jumps and the price is $1500 and they got it from another skydiver, you may decide not to buy it but you sure as fuck would think about it real hard. I guaranfuckintee you someone from 100 jumps to 5000 jumps would buy it without thinking twice about it. Hell man, i could have named names and the whole nine yards and not even ask the question here. But you know, bottom line is i say nothing and if i can buy the rig i will and i will put it in a closet and hold till i can find the guy so he can get it back -
Drug issue.....should i tell the DZ owner???
SSkydiver replied to SSkydiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Actually they do have the right to enter the house. The call was for shots fired and the house did have bullet holes all over the house. No answer at the door so they cant just leave. Entry was made to search for possible victims or even suspects and then all the drugs were found. They did not search for the drugs intitially but because of the amount it wasnt hard to see. Once the drugs are found in plain view, its handled the same was if you got pulled over by the cops for speeding and he sees cocaine on the floor board......car gets seized and sold. I'm not saying anything anyway. This guy has enough problems coming to him and i'm gonna try to buy his rig and sell it back to him so he can at least have that to look forward to. Maybe he will learn something out of it. Who knows. -

SSkydiver replied to SSkydiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The people who stole the rig were the government. The parachute rig has no relationship to the crime committed. They pull this shit under the guise of "everything he owned was bought with the illegal proceeds from drugs". Have they proven that? Probably not, but they'll take it anyway. I would bet that even if he provided a receipt proving he purchased the rig before he got involved in drugs, they still wouldn't give it back. Good idea from the responses. IF i get the chance to buy it (not sure yet if its part of the seizure) i'll try to buy it and if it fits and the main and reserve are something i can use, maybe i'll jump it a few times and then in the closet it goes and i'll just hang on to it and sell it back to the guy who ownes it for what i paid and hopefully he'll appreciate it -

SSkydiver replied to SSkydiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I think in this case i'm not going to say anything about it. I used to be a police officer so maybe i'm taking it a bit more personal. I think my beef is not the pot itself but the amount of it. I realize that people do drugs and theres nothing to stop it. Just need to keep an eye out for those who obviously are high. -

When the house was raided there was no one home. Police were called to the house initially because of a report of gunfire. Bullet holes all over. Got access to the house when they found everything inside. The guy with the rig is still free as of now. The police may come knocking at the DZ to try and find this guy and if there are drugs at the DZ, theres no tellen what may happen at the DZ by police.
