Hi, i`m currently in the process of buying a second hand rig but am getting it all seperatley. So far I have a javelin container and a reserve, now I`m looking for a cypress but am not clear on the different models and some say they are up for servicing. How much does it cost to service a cypress and how often do they need it? Any info will be very helpfull.

This works for me too. Really chills you out. Try it!

THE BEST POST ON THIS BY FAR! Opportunity to step back and look at your own lives and let the girl be.

Good idea. He`s still sending me mail saying something must have gone terribly wrong & can we work things out another way. Can you believe the cheeky feker!! Just told him to go work on the broken english act a little more.

It`s definatley a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked him for a serial number which i then checked with the PD office and guess what!?......... You got it, it does`nt exist! He`s scamming through a e-bay company called Sunshineelec who sell electrical goods, that`s how he`s got an account with `buysafe` . They are a legit company with a decent record so i`d imagine there oblivious! Told me he was in Romania! I`ve reported it too. Won`t be buying any canopy that i can`t see, touch & sniff first!!!

That`s some pretty sobering advice people.....thanks

He says the canopy is with` buysafe` who will send me a invoice and conformation that they have the canopy. Seems to add up? I will feel a sucker if I do get scammed though!

Hi, just after some advice, a Sabre2 is up for sale at $600 or £380, i`ve agreed to buy the canopy and even got him to drop the price alittle. He wants to use a company called `Buysafe` who I`ve never heard of but since checking out seem ok. Also I`ve just checked out the price of this canopy new and it`s around £1,200 or $2,000ish. The canopy i`m looking at was made Feb 05, I`m thinking the price is a bit on the cheap side? Has anyone out there dealt with `Buysafe`? Any input will be wwelcome.

got 3 in at hinton today, was all good but i still can`t feel me hands!!!!!!

sounds like wherever you go you will be looked after, i went to ffu in ocana and had the best expirience of my life. good luck & be prepared for a headfuk!

Sorry guys i`ve gotta ask...what is a MC-4 Export?

I guess reading a thread that long on the negative side of things affects the mindset. After checking out some links and stats a favorable perspective emerges, thanks guys.

just read a post about going in. It ended up quite a long thread with many people speaking of the many times they have witnessed fatalities and what can be learned from the situation leading up to. I`m a new and very enthusiastic skydiver with a strong mind and will, but i find myself rocked by how common serious injury and death seems to be in the sport. I`m fully aware that rolling out of a plane at 13k and relying on a lump of material to inflate and save your ass has it`s risks but just how common are theese incidents!?

thanks for the advice guys and the link lisa, still gonna order me a crossfire2 150 though!! JUST KIDDIN! Valuable advice thanks again

Hi everyone, i`ve just completed my aff course and 10 consolidation jumps and am completly consumed by the sport to the point of selling my beloved GSXR-1000K3(motorcycle) for skydiving gear! I intend to buy a decent second hand rig and need to know the correct size canopy for my 70kg(11st) frame? On my aff I used a 200 which i found good fun but quite tame, my instructor who is also a CH instructor said that i was a natural with a canopy! Hopefully that dosen`t sound too big headed that`s just what he said, so i would like to go as extreeme as i can without taking the piss with my limited expierience.Any advice on this subject would be much welcomed. Thanx.
