The first in the series is an introduction into why I started the website, the state of development, what's in the works and a couple of top tips for new comers and seasons jumpers.
The upcoming series interviews will start with some riggers around Australia who want to share their challenges from a rigger's perspective, the divide between the APF and Australian riggers, why they believe there should be a huge amount of importance placed on speaking to a rigger when buying gear and the importance of having it checked regularly.
Future instalments of the series will include interviews with other greats in the sport as I cross paths with them and the journey of a newcomer and finding your first rig.
