pilot-one 0 #6 June 28, 2009 You can call Skydive Houston to be sure. I know I was around that weight (body builder) at Skydive San Marcos going through AFF and I've seen several more big boys come through over the past few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heavydude 0 #9 June 30, 2009 Perris in CA is 240 I believe. They have Navigator 280s and MC4 for larger people. Physical Shape is a bigger factor than mass, if hes in good shape he will be OK. I came from powerlifting background as youth, not a real lightweight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
