Nope...eeneR and I are the same height so we're "tied" for "tallest."

I don't think so. Have you ever met any of these ladies? Dynamite comes in small packages.

Boinky ~ Thank you sooo much! That's the kind of post that I was hoping for with this thread. Rig fit issues are so difficult for us.

You are welcome!

Of course I could also tell you a funny story of when I was in California in July and was in the middle of a 30-way diamond.

That statement reminds me of my first mainside jumpmaster (from Taft). She is 5'2", 105 lbs & gorgeous, but she could scare the daylights out of anyone with just one look. The men knew better than to mess with her!

That's funny............that's the first time I have heard anyone say that a Dolphin was the rig to have. I liked mine just fine. Put 300+ jumps on it....99% Free fly. Never had a problem! To quote SM1 commenting on premature deployments "If you packed it right in the first place you wouldn't have that fuckin problem."

I love my new Dolphin. I balked at first when I thought all they offered was basic black, but when i found out the had awesome color options and all my CRW rig is now matching, I was all in! I have not regretted my decision in the least.

Plus, they've added a few cool options, like a flap to cover the bridle for you freefliers and large tuck tabs to cover the funky risers we CRWDOGS use.

Here's a video of me being picked up and thrown... out the back of a CASA.

Big people don't get to do that!

I haven't gotten to do this, but I did do a few "monkeyhugs" out of a KingAir and then a Casa with a 6'2" giant hunk! It's great when I am so short I can easily wrap my legs around him! It made the jump easy.

Plus, I don't even have to duck when they yell "DOOR!

Well, you are the "tallest" one, so far!

Nah she is tied with me

That's an image that will distract me for a little while

as will "do a little woman way for fun"

Aren't you leaving the Anvil out of this one? The Anvil should be on this list, too.

you know what, Clay? My boyfriend is 5'10", and I have always said that men who are 5'9"-5'10" are my favorite height to be with. I almost was engaged once to a man 6'3", but I have mostly tried to avoid dating the taller men because, frankly, I hate feeling like a little girl when I take off the heels. Tall guys (even 6'4"ers) don't seem to care about a women's height, though at all. It's sooo weird to me that so many of them are so interested in us tiny women.

[quoute]Thank you Chris. You can come and hug ME anytime!

Sweet! I will take you up on that offer!

I LOVE HUGS!!

I'm one of those just barely 5'2" people....and my fiance is 6'4". One of the things that suck about being short is getting a sore neck from kissing the tall guys.

Another is getting thrown around when the bigger guys get drunk at rowdy. I've spilled my beer more than once that way!

Another issue I find happens with smaller women is that it's difficult to get your rig tight enough to freestyle, which requires a much tighter harness than freefly or RW. This is because harness yokes tend to be to wide for me. But then it's just tough to buy used in general, there aren't many used rigs out there for short, small people.

But I've heard it's much easier for little people to do Mr. Bills, although I can't speak from experience.

munchkins of the skydiving world, unite!
mua!
