************* this is for the line eater *******************


 I recently got pinned (last Saturday) and I'm planning 
on buying a main canopy.

 Could someone out in netland give a Inexperienced
Skydiver some friendly advise on a good canopy to begin
with (Something FORGIVING, But at the same time Performs
well).

 Is Buying a used canopy a good idea or should I buy a
new canopy at all costs?

 In response to an article submitted recently, I've 
found that the people who jump at PERRIS, CALIF. are
very friendly and helpful. The First Jump Course is 
Now taught on squares and lasts about 6 hours.

                         Thanks in advance,
                            Robert Cisneros
