VERSLECIEL

Awesome! Thanks so much - I looked everywhere on Aerokart's website - didn't know I needed to download the map. Merci!!

Hi - I'm a skydiver living in Paris, France for the moment (originally from USA) - I've been looking all over the place for dropzones/wind tunnels in or near Paris - I know there is Aerokart for the wind tunnel - but is there any way to get there without a car? That's my main issue - I've got no car here and all the DZ's or tunnels seem to be a bit out of the way? Any ideas??? Thanks!

Any ideas on 81? The one with the random lightning rod and the TV?

Hint on the Armageddon one? PM me if you want! Thanks so much! (BTW, I don't think the pink one works on Macs)

Well, that's good news!! Does anyone have any idea what dates it will be around? I can only find last years.

So my sister and I decided last night to check out the solstice boogie this summer, but then I found they are closed!! http://www.alaskaskydiving.com/index.html any word on what this means for the boogie??? Thanks, Averil

Are there any sort of license requirements to do the glacier jump?

I think this is what you're talking about..... http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6987134/

I've heard that theory too, about Action Air maybe having modified it. If this is the case, than it's fine....I just wish there was some way to verify that's what happened. But, if Action Air did add the RSL mod, the stitching wasn't well done, which is why we now can't just remove the stitching...we would have to get the plastic tubing redone. I'm more inclined to think that the rigger did a poor job of it. Especially after having found out this weekend that he ripped off another one of our friends.....It just makes me frustrated.

And what's more frustrating is that the owner of the rig is a DZO....so whether or not he knew about the mods, I feel that he should know about his rigger. We'll see....I'm going to call them this weekend and hear their story.....in the meantime I have to rent gear (agh!).....cause I'm going to MOAB!!!!! Thanks again.....Have a great weekend.....

Well....it's kind of an old container so I would rather spend the money to repair it on a new rig. And had the rigger done his job properly like he should have, I wouldn't need to pay to repair it. Thanks for all of your comments....I appreciate the advice....

I'm not looking to sue anyone here, but I just think what the rigger did was uncalled for, and if he is doing this to other people's equipment then something should be done. The riggers here say that the RSL modification is safe, but since it has not been approved by the factory (and it won't be...it's a Vector conatiner..but the modification done is not for a vector container...)it's unairworthy. And now I have a useless container.......

What does TSO mean? And also...people have said that I should have been more informed on what I was buying, but if you can't trust a Master Rigger to tell you what your buying...who can your trust?

I'm just looking for some advice...I'm not sure how to proceed, or if I should even do anything after what happened to me this weekend.....I'm new to the sport, and I'm just curious as to what other people have to say.... Last year I bought a rig from a dropzone I used to jump at. When I bought the rig I new NOTHING about the sport and just trusted the people at my dropzone to tell me exactly what it was I was getting. Well, in the past two weeks I have discovered that the owner of the rig and the rigger lied to me about certain stats (For example, I was told I had a PD reserve, it was actually a tempo). I realize that it is my responsibility to know what I'm buying, but as a complete newbie to the sport...I had no clue. This weekend I had a cutaway. I lost the D-ring and have to get it replaced. There was a lot of confusion because the rig that I have was not made with an RSL, so I was sent a d-ring for a rig without an RSL........Thing is the rigger modified the rig so that there was one. After talking with the riggers at my new dropzone and Realtive Workshop, it seems as if the rigger modified the rig in several ways (to make it more freefly friendly), and according to my new dropzone, my rig has now been deemed ILLEGAL to jump. (apparantly the rigger never wrote down any of the modifications-and you are supposed to?- so no one knew to check out the RSL on the container.....) SO i'm super frustrated. I wanted to sell this rig in order to afford a newer, better rig, but now I can't sell the rig, and I can't even jump the rig!! I'm upset that the owner and the rigger lied to me about the stats of the rig. And I can't believe that this rigger, who is a MASTER rigger and apparantly world renknowned, made illegal modifications on my rig!! It's too late to get money back for this rig, but what am I supposed to do? I can't do anything with it now......and is it wrong of me to want him to lose his license??? Do any of you have any suggestions??
