I am trying to sell the Pilot Chute I have made:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/spo/1438884385.html

It has nice features for the BASE that I have not seen in other Pilot Chutes. I am new to California from Georgia (the country), only a few days. I was rigger back home. I have one BASE jump from a free-standing tower of 150m, it was static line only.

If you like the pilot chute I can sell for $150, I do not need, my ankles are fuzed.

Looks super cool, please explain the collapsibility? bungee?

Does not look like something I would ever use for BASE but it seems very innovative. asymmetry is good in some ways.

its a pitty you only ship to usa

The bungee is this:

I ordered this exact material.

 I really lika the bimesh feature, is very good. Did you know a guy in Georgia named Borat?

I really like your phrasing

"snatch protection". LOVE IT !

You take Western Union?

This post deserves an A.

I would like to request a large tear in the top skin and two broken tapes for this pilot chute before I purchase it.

Any plans to sew a main with reefing tape instead of a slider (I suffer from claustrophobia and anything too close over my head scares the shit out of me)?

Also, for proper snatch protection, I need a 40 foot bridle, not just a measly 15 feet. My old buddy Yuri, aka, outrager, used to use a 25 foot bridle back in the mid 1990s. It worked great except when he was PCA'ing objects less than 5 feet, like when he jumped from a couch. Somehow he took a 53 second delay from that couch with his wingsuit, but I think he tripped on exit, or he was trippin'. We are unsure what to classify it as, a B or an E. We had to contact Phil Smith, BASE 1, himself to clarify what type of object a couch is, and he only muttered "what the fuck?," it's a fucking couch.

it was actually 'super snatch protections' god that sounds fucking awesome

Thanks, I needed that!

best response i've read in a long time.
