Most experienced jumpers will council new jumpers away from buying a canopy they know is beyond the jumper's skill.

skymick 0 #27 November 20, 2002 Like most other people have said its up to you really, if your instrcutors believe you will be fine (have u asked all or most instructors including the CI?) and you are confident yourself then u might consider one. Myself I bought a 170 (@1.2) at about 50 jumps and while my first 4 landings were...interesting I had no problems with it. I have 150 jumps now and recently bought a sabre 150 (@1.4) and love it...however I plan to stay at this level for a long time to come and I realise if i fuck up then its no one else fault but my own.
