Let me just warn you, Low jump numbers + High Wing loading is pretty frowned on around here. I would guess that has a lot to do with this forum where people have to come on here and report that Jumper XYZ just brokekilled himself doing a 270 @ 300 jumps on a velocity 90 (Ok, thats an exageration but not really that far from the truth with some people around here) It comes down to people thinking they know what's up when really they have so little knowledge they can't possibly be accurately measuring their own performance. Now, I am not saying that is you... but that is what comes to mind when someone says 1.8 @ 2xx jumps. People around here read way more into what you say than the words on the surface. For what it's worth, even I think 1.8 @ 250 jumps is a lot and honestly I won't try and say I have been conservative in my canopy flying.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

For the record, I've never seen you fly, and I've no idea of your ability, but loading a canopy at 2.45:1 with under 250 jumps would mean that you'd have serious difficulty persuading any dropzone in Australia to let you jump there.
