BlakeA 0 #1 February 1, 2006 So I'm finally going to actually go skydiving for the first time. I'm lucky in that I live about an hour and a half from Gold Coast Skydivers and they actually have a rig big enough for someone my size to jump with (I'm 6'7" and 315lbs) so I am starting my AFF training this sunday along with two other friends....I can't wait!

skymama 35 #11 February 3, 2006 QuoteWHat does one wear to jump out of an airplane? Well, normally the dz wil provide students a jumpsuit. I'm not sure they'll have one in your size though! Better bring a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt that will stay tucked in, just in case.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlakeA 0 #13 February 6, 2006 I'm back home now and I just can't get it out of my head.....it rocked!! I loved it and I'll deffinately be going back to finish my aff and get liscensed. I jumped a mt-1xx military rig and had to jump without a jumpsuit. I had a little trouble standing in the door (it was a super otter), but next time they told me to just stand outside instead of in the door since I'm so tall. The jump went very well and I did all my objectives, but I do need to work on keeping my legs down....but I passed and will be making my AFF 2 jump in 3 weeks. I would have done it today, but a friend of mine had a very hard landing (he flared on his landing when he was told to, but at the same time a wind gust pushed him up and stalled his canopy and he fell like 20 feet ringht on his ass) and we decided to leave after everyone jumped once. (my landing wasn't too pretty either, I kinda did a slide thing through a mud puddle with my legs apart and got a dirt enema ) Even he said he would be back though.....it's almost like a drug....without the bad shit.... Later, Blake (I have pics on my home page if anyone wants to check it out....) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
