'Big Boy' A-License dropzone needed
Flat904line replied to MFS's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It's been about 6 years since you posted about learning as a big guy. Just wondering how it went for you, as I am a bigger guy also looking to learn. -
Hey everyone, I've been obsessed with flight since I was a little kid and always knew I wanted to learn to skydive. I'm getting to the point where I have the time and money to make that happen, however after doing some research it seems I may have a problem. I'm about 6'3" and 260 and from what I've read, alot of training places have a weight limit that isn't 260. I've also read on here ,some post from about 15 years ago, about big dude skydiving. One guy was 6'9" and pushing 350. But what I read was you need to find an instructor willing to chase you and a place with rigs that can support big guys. I live in northern California and I'm having g some issues finding a place that can teach me. So if anyone has any info that could help me out I would appreciate it. Also, if I do find an instructor but can't find a parachute, would it be wise to purchase one to learn with. Thanks for the help. -Thomas
