  1. i weigh 240 and have never had a problem with rented gear that fits. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  2. i recently downsized to a 230 from a 260. the biggest difference for me was a few mph faster. practice flares up high will help you greatly. you really wont experience much difference except the differences in the canopies. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  3. happened at my house too. the water line to the washing machine broke and the kitchen and dinning room flooded. thank god for the linoleum floor and the wet vac we had to clean it up fast before it messed up the floor. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  4. how much do you way? im 240 and 5'10, i still am jumping rented gear. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  5. you attitude is an inspiration. hope this helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM0uXqNCj3k "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  6. i'd do a tandem jump first. that lets you enjoy your first skydive and get the "deer in the headlights" shock out of the way while you're connected to a professional skydiver. this way you go into your aff knowing what it's like to be in freefall and under canopy. i would also go somewhere with a big plane. 10,000 vs 14,000 feet is a 20 second difference. it doesnt seem like much to you now, but jumping a cessna takes almost half your freefall time per jump away. good luck and blue skies "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  7. welcome to the sport. same thing happened to me after my tandem, as soon as my feet were on the ground i knew it was going to be an expensive summer. poor and happy is fine with me, skydiving is the reason for both. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

  13. sorry for your loss. skydiving is a dangerous sport, and each skydiver takes the leap on every skydive knowing death or serious injury is a possible outcome. we sign our life away literally. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  14. welcome to your new addiction. i did a tandem last may and had to wait to july for aff, it was unbearable but completely worth it. hang in there and the money will show up (if you are stingy enough). have fun and be safe! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  15. then you should go with you were expressing your artistic passion instead of getting pissed and fucking shit up "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
