Heya, I thought I would ask for some advice here.. I hadn't jumped for a couple months. made one jump every week for the past few weeks. Have been winding up with a few injuries.. nothing I would consider serious..

This dropzone near me has alot of base jumpers.. they would let me jump with my base gear and a belly reserve. where can I find a used one? what do I ask for? No Sorcerer though!

Have been winding up with injuries, sounds like multiple occasions. You say nothing serious, but you mentioned it here for some reason. Why? What type of injuries? Do you think jumping base gear with a belly reserve might put you out of your norm and increase your chances of mistakes?

Maybe he's just saying he wants to become better at his BASE canopy skills, he wants to make a few skydives with it and to do that he will either need a chest mount reserve (spending more money) or he could just stuff that BASE canopy in an old dolphin container (cheaper option).

Since none of this was specified I kinda wonder why the emphasis was placed in the injuries received too.

If you are getting hurt because of canopy flying you may want to go back to some of the basics by just stuffing the thing in an old student rig laying around the DZ and take it from there....

I got an old racer in my garage, you can have for
cheap to stuff your BASE tarp into for some practice.
