Skydive Vibes that's crazy someone would buy used skydiving gear.. I believe my life is worth $6,000

@SkydiveVibes 6 лет назад

D.Nasty Fishing Well that price is for a used kit. One in good shape though. To go full new, you would need to approximate 10k!!

@d.nastyfishing6091 6 лет назад

Wow that does get expensive.. I was looking at new empty containers, new chutes main and reserve . I am bad at math hahahah. Didn't add the alt.. googles helmet..

@SkydiveVibes 6 лет назад

D.Nasty Fishing Yeah and you need to consider an AAD as well. ;) going used is totally acceptable for your safety. You just need to find equipment in really good shape!

@d.nastyfishing6091 6 лет назад

Skydive Vibes AAD for sure .. just in case for some odd reason I black out .. . I would like to get more opinions on R.S.L . Skyhook. Alot of ppl wanna pull there own cords .. well I wanna thank you for your time .. it's nice to know the support from others in this brand new sport ..to me at least

@@SkydiveVibes Thank you!! ♥ I currently live in Florida, so my home DZ is Titusville, but most people there also do their fun jumps in Sebastian & Deland (since Titusville mainly does tandems).

Thanks for sharing such an valuable information! You always conveys a lot of information in your videos. I am going to attempt USPA License A and B in Aerograd Kolomna, Russia next month. Your videos are certainly feeding key things to new bees of Skydiving sport.

@SpartanX189 4 года назад

For those kinda strapped for cash would you recommend buying the components listed one at a time or would it be better to just find a used and assembled rig for one price. also which option will be cheaper? Buying a fully compatible used rig. Or buying it all in separate pieces.

@clayb1832 4 года назад

Sooo I’m going to look at a rig from 1987 with 200 jumps on it. I’m pretty skeptical but pictures looked nice, definitely using this video to help decide.

@Ijumpandfly 4 года назад

Mate you would be suprised how many things i regret when they came because of pictures. I would not take rig over 30years old for free. Your life is worth more. Unless your comment was just a joke then yeah go for it :)

@clayb1832 4 года назад

Yea it was actually in great condition eventually might make a nice base rig because of some of things on it. Still renting gear at my local dz for the time being for Skydive’s tho shit sucks

@Ijumpandfly 4 года назад

@@clayb1832 as always they say- its better to give rigger a rig to check inspect if its safe :)

Could you please help with some websites or forums? My friend is looking for used container, but she is only 5' 1'' high :)

@SkydiveVibes 5 лет назад

Sure thing. Let me work on a list. ;)

@rimvydastumas1351 4 года назад

Hello. I would be interested to know what size was your first canopy bought and what was your level of experience. I am on 210 only got 52 jumps. Feel good on 210 so my plan is to downsize to 190. the size I wanna buy is 170 so I can keep it for longer. I don't want to buy 190 and then find out I want to downsize 10 jumps later. Do you think it is a silly choice to buy 170 while I jump on with 210? Thanks

@SkydiveVibes 4 года назад

I did jump a 190 for a while about 50 jumps and when I was ready I went down to a 170 which was my first bought canopy. Ask an instructor on your DZ, take a canopy course and then you'll have a good idea of what you need. Make sure that you buy a canopy that you are feeling comfortable to jump, if not you'll force yourself to try it cause you would have pay for it and it is not a good reason to downsize. ;) That is the mistake I did and decided to sell my kit back cause I was stressing too much to downsize at a rate I wasn't ready.

@alexanderhlleland7643 5 лет назад

What do you think about buying a new container, and add used main, reserve, and aad? I thinking of this because then you'll get 100% correct size on the container to fit your body.

@SkydiveVibes 5 лет назад

If you have the budget, this is really the way to go as finding a used container that fits well is hard. ;) Which brand are you thinking about?

@alexanderhlleland7643 5 лет назад

@@SkydiveVibes Thats what I was thinking as well! Here in my drop zone (SkydiveVoss, Norway) we have a store you can buy either Aerodyne Icon A or UPT Vector v3. So I was thinking to go with the Icon A, and then add used canopies :D

@claudiovelazquez7973 5 лет назад

Soy inseguro, tengo baja autoestima y soy muy nervioso. Igual salté 36 veces, pero no pude mas, me comían los nervios.! Hoy a los 47 años ni loco, algún día haré túnel de viento. No Tándem. Bs. Claudio. Nota anecdótica: Compré el audible en 1996 (Paralert), a la fecha funciona sin haberle tocado la pila (o lo que tenga adentro) no me animo a desarmarlo. Comentarios por favor en español, insultos en cualquier idioma y condolencias a la iglesia esto es un hobbie. Aunque me duela.

@rosejackson517 3 года назад

where could i buy a parachute? is ebay a good place ?

@SkydiveVibes 3 года назад

Did you start your AFF yet? Make sure to have started your course and have your A license at least and many more jumps before considering buying your own gear. By then you'll know where to find the best gear. Your question leads me to think you haven't started yet or barely started because by asking other jumpers you then will know this answer. To answer directly, no eBay isn't the best place. A good skydiving gear store of FB groups for used skydiving gear. But make sure you are instructed and ask questions before purchasing.
