Funny the ratio of BASE-skydiving huh?

And that's after having two confiscated, isn't it?

Ummmm….Yeaaaa!!! So jealous!

sooooooooooo,

do you have carpet in your garage or do you have a separate room dedicated to parachutes ?

His entire apartment is dedicated to parachutes. If you looked just to the left of that photo, I'd bet you'd see a sewing machine, or a rack to hang canopies, or both. And that's the living room.

I'm tempted to go hang all my rigs on the rack in the garage and take a photo.

fine ... My wife would kill me if I did that. But god damn, does that look nice ...

Just so I don't look lame, here's a pic during a recent 3 jumper trip.

I'm pretty sure his girlfriend encourages it. In fact, I think half of those rigs are hers.

I love the matching his and her body armor

Dude, it looks like a superhero's lair in there!

Nice to finally see the carpet Chad! Funny what a little rain and some time off will do to a guy.

Ok... now I have a hard on!!

Since I don't know anything about rigs (except for what I've read and seen here) I'm confused as to which rigs are which. My guess-the 4 rigs to the left are BASE rigs, and the 3 to the right are skydiving rigs. Am I right?

Correct

I'll take one of each.

That picture gave me a shot of energy as I said to myself "I don't need to be sitting here on my ass in front of this computer"

i see you got the room cleaned after we left..

I'm a gear freak too -- at one point, I had 9 rigs.

Perigee Pro w/ Mojo 280
Perigee II w/ Ace 280 Composite ZP
Perigee Pro w/ Ace 280
Perigee W w/ Tektite
Javelin w/ Stiletto 150
Javelin w/ Spectre 150
Vector III w/ Spectre 170
Talon II w/ PD-253 (for demos)
Eclipse Tandem w/ Icarus 400

But I left my full-time jumping job, and no longer have 2 of the skydiving rigs. Perhaps it's time for more BASE gear...

Do you have a live-in packer or what???

Oh, but they unpack so much faster than they pack. It's odd really.

Some people are just so greedy...................................

*ahem* donations? You clearly have some gear to spare.

here is the rope side of the deal...
What you see is...
2- 220meter x 16mm HTN ropes
5- 100meter 11.6mm nylon static ropes
6- 9.3-10.5mm dynamic lines
plus 300kg of random biners, pulleys, anchors, plates, belays, and everything else it takes to build frasca. there is a BASE rig in one of those bags...

cheers! goodnight BASE world... or should i say, goodmorning my local A, its been awile. wish me luck!

I read in my BASE handbook we are supposed to use a 42 for this...- JH

perhaps you should learn how to pack faster.. i think i pretty much showed you this summer that it aint the packjob that matters

Here mine.....

^Wow... you're doing your part to keep the Velcro Corporation in business

Me packing a Pin rig is about the scariest thing i've ever seen i prefer velcro but some day i'll get a few pin rigs

WHAT is up with VELCRO?
seriously...WTF?

I'll show you the super-duper neato pin closing method for.... say.... half your velcro rigs. That should leave you with about ten right?


Edit: Oh yeah, what canopies are in all of those?

Pins rig is easier to close.

Would you guys mind discussing the great pin v. velcro controversy over in the pin v. velcro thread that is still on the first page?

Thanks!

from left to right.....
Mojo 240, Ace 240zp, Mojo240 ,Flik 242 vtec, tektite, tektite...theres a Fox 225w/stunts at the bottom of the photo (canopy is not mine)....all i need is a Blackjack 240 , fox 245 and a Troll 225

cya Sky

Are you getting this, Chad?

I know, I know, but I just bought a BlackJack 240 and an ACE 240 in the last two weeks!

Hmmm... aidclimber, you selling either one of those Mojos?

If i sold one of my mojos i could buy one of those pin rig things..hmmm..sorry...but i can't part with them Mojos are the shit

ahhhhh.... the search continues.

Damn, now I'm gonna have to do some packing...

Yes, everyone post pics of all your rigs.

Hold on those Mojos! Have you seen my add???

Where the hell are all those Mojo 240s???

You're kinda into 7-cells aren't you? .

If you like Mojo, you will find what you search in a Troll!

Used to be a Mojoman, now a Trollman!

I'd keep my Ace thanks

Seriously I'm looking for a Mojo 240 as a second rig.
