QuoteYou allegedly replaced the lines on a canopy and then put 300 jumps on it, but you don't know the model of the canopy? Bullshit.
Please return the rig to its rightful owner.

actually i am the rightful owner.
I opened the main and pulled the reserve card from the rig and got basic info..
Harness DOM: May 93
The Harness says C-4 on the tag, I'm 5'10" 160lbs and the harness fits me perfectly
Rig SN: 4417
Main: PD190 500+ jumps (300 by me)
DOM: May 93
SN: 19010273
Reserve: PD176R 0 rides repacked ~ 20 times
DOM: May 93
SN: 4712
Like I said, I jumped for ~2 years and then havent jumped for 3 years. Some info kind of slips away over 3 years. -
I looked through the rig and got a bit more information..
Container : Javelin J3
DOM: May 93
C-4
total # of jumps 500+ (I put 300 on it, bought it used)
Main : 170
model unknown :(
# of jumps onthe canopy 500+
# of jumps on the lines 300 (I replaced the lines when i got it)
any damage - one patch upper side
Reserve : 160
# of repacks 20ish
# of rides ? none by me, maybe 1 for previous owner.
Hope this helps a bit -
I quit jumping about 3 years ago with the hopes to returning to the sport one day. Unfortunately this isn't going to happen in the near future.
It's an older javelin with a 170 main, i believe a 160 reserve (I don't remember the canopy brand). Out of date cypress. It's been well maintained and stored in a climate controlled location.
I purchased this used, and put ~300 jumps on it.
Haven't jumped in 3 years, need suggestion on pricing for my rig
in Gear and Rigging
Not at all.
I just dropped the rig off at my local DZ to have the rigger inspect the rig and repack the reserve, also to have the cypress removed as it's out of date.
I do appreciate the constructive posts in response to this thread.
While at the DZ I found my AFF grad photo still posted on the wall, which proved that my dates are off a bit.
I finished AFF in Jan of 04, and jumped for 2 years, ergo.. I've been out of the sport for 4-5 years.. which led to even further degradation of the knowledge i had of my rig.
To the poster asking why i didn't pull the main and repack it. Good question, I honestly didn't think to look at the tag on the tail of the canopy until yesterday.
This will be my last post here, as I don't see the point in continuously trying to prove i was a jumper.. however, myself and my father jumped approximately 300 jumps within 2 years. I never reached out for anything past my A license. During those 2 years I had some of the best memories of my life, most of which occurred at Skydive Atlanta (amazing staff!).
It was a great trip down memory lane stopping by there to have my rig inspected :D
Skydiving will always have a place in my heart, and hopefully one day things will work out to where I can return to the sport. Until then.. blue skies :D
