The hard part of this will be to actually sell the rig. My partner is a skydiver as well. He wasn't jumped in quite a while either, about 9 months. Every time I mention selling my rig he freaks out. I don't think it's advisable to keep it around won't it will just lose it's value?

Why I haven't jumped in almost a year? Good guestion. I would always find some excuse not to go. I was getting bored with it. I have a lot of other interests that were put on hold because of jumping. I found I needed to jump a lot to better my skills. I'm sort of the obsessive type. And the risks involved with this activity seem to be weighing on my mind. I already had one hard landing that put my out of commission from skydiving and all the other things I love to do. I vowed that would never happen again. That being said, I could be in a horrible car accident tomorrow or have some horrible decease that would do the same. I don't want to loose my zest for life! Will quitting this sport be the first step in that??

I'm not current by almost one year. My thoughts about getting back into the sport go to each extreme. I'm almost 49 years of age and have actually noticed a change in my views of life. Once adventurous, now more cautious. I downsized just before becoming non-current. Now I am contemplating whether to sell my rig or go through the process of becoming current. One of my concerns is that I haven't actually jumped the canopy I had put in my rig. I jumped a similar one, but that was now almost a year ago. Should I rent a rig with a larger main to get recurrent? Should I just bag the whole thing and move on with life? Has anyone out there been in these shoes? Thanks
