BlindBrick 0 #27 April 25, 2003 Quote Don't worry about it. I'm what has been called "CornFed", weighing about 255-260lbs without gear. You do have to learn how to fall to the same speed as those "dried in the drier" pencil sized skydivers, but it can be done. Or you can say screw it to the RW snobs(please note that I'm not say all RW people are snobs) and go fly with the freeflyers. Once the freeflyers saw that I(5'10, 250) could belly fly at their heads down speeds, I got invited to do a lot of hybrid dives. Say, I wonder if people like us have to get clearance from the FAA for breaking the sound barrier before we are allowed to go heads down? -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."
