AggieDave 6 #2 April 20, 2008 The short answer is to talk to your instructors at your DZ since they will know what would be best for you. The longer answer is that this has been discussed at length many many times before and please use the search function.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

drdive 0 #3 April 20, 2008 Like Dave said! But for what it's worth, don't get aggressive. After 30 jumps or so, gradually transition to a 190, which will give you an approximately 0.9 wind loading, which should be good up to a couple of hundred jumps. Too many people downsizing too quick, IMO. Ed"We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
