Nitro Rigging LLC was originally founded in Pennsylvania in 2003 by Nick Rugai, Ph.D.
Dr. Nick ‘Nitro’ is an FAA master parachute rigger, airplane pilot, fixed-object jumper (BASE 903), and parachuting instructor who started jumping in 1993 as a military paratrooper and he has accumulated over 4,000 skydives, about 900 BASE jumps, and 0 hour of wind tunnel time!
Nitro Rigging initial works involved custom HMA line sets, RDS systems, fabrication of basic components and accessories, and maintenance of reserve systems.
In 2004, Nitro Rigging designed and built its first generation of wingsuits for the greater sport of parachuting (skydiving and BASE jumping). In 2007, the business moved to its current location in DeLand Florida expanding its vision via developing various canopies for most, if not all, personnel parachuting applications and further improve its line of wingsuits, harnesses/containers, integrated systems, and their accessories.
Nitro Rigging is dedicated to quality, customer satisfaction, education, the re-sourcing of local industry, and the fight against unfair outsourcing.
Nitro Rigging products are 100% USA built.
