  1. I have been thinking the same thing ever since I went for my first tandem a few years back. When I signed up the girl that was working the office/manifest had me stand on a scale and it read 220, I was a little surprised. The girl then went on to say that I was good to do a tandem but if I really wanted to continue skydiving I really should think about losing weight. I'm not the most cut up person, but for me to suck weight would really take some time, muscle mass is harder to lose than fat. I went to another dropzone nearby to do AFF, not just because of my "weight problem" and discussed what I was told at the other dropzone with my instructor and equipment that I saw advertised in magazines. She just said that the manufacturers don't market their equipment towards "skydivers of size" but it is available. Facebook

  18. 1981 - YZ 125 The thing had a clutch that would engage by itself and a throttle that would hang wide open from time to time, needless to say it tried to hurt me quite a few times. I almost forgot about the Honda Z50 my uncle gave to me. Facebook
