tristansdad 0 #1 August 23, 2010 So here it is. Ive been out of the sport for about 4 years now and I'm getting ready to start jumping again. I have my A license with about 175 jumps on a 170. Would it be safe for me jump a canopy that size first time out or should I go with something bigger? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
absane 0 #2 August 24, 2010 I'm not that experienced... so, I'll tell you the same thing an instructor told me when I asked about choosing between a 200 and a 280 (the 220 that I rent was being used)... you can't go wrong with larger. Just talk to your recurrency instructor. If you haven't gained weight, I bet they'll put you on a rig you started with on AFF. I've spoke to jumpers that came back after months off from jumping... and consistently, they tell me that freefall skills come back much faster than canopy skills.Don't forget to pull!
