I'm am getting ready to purchase a full BASE setup, but figure I do not have time to get it before BD. Does anyone know of a manufacteur who will lend you a rig for BD if you have a full setup ordered through them?

Lending; not sure. Renting; definitely, I imagine possibly with a discount. I saw somebody jumping a rented canopy this weekend as her order was still awaiting delivery.

Contact the manufacturers. They'll be able to tell you.

For the record, I'm hearing stories of increased delivery times for most manufacturers, some up to several months. I guess the sport is growing. Manufacturers are trying to keep up, but not always as well as they'd like to. They're all doing massive overtime as far as I know.

You should post an ad inthe BASE classified section requesting to rent a rig for Bday. LIst what type of rig you prefer, what size canopy will give you an appropriate wing loading, and your height and weight.

Maybe you'll get lucky.

Call Apex. They have taken incredible care of myself and others while equipment is being built and repaired.
