Grips 0 #1 November 7, 2006 With my low amount of jumps, I still wanna share the love. I am trying to get my Pops a tandem jump for his up and coming birthday. However there are a couple of obstacles. One is I'm overseas in Australia, and Pops lives in Colorado. I've tried eMailing a dZ in Colorado, (I believe it is located in Colorado Springs). They have not replied yet. I didn't think it would be difficult to purchase a gift voucher online via a credit card, but apparently it is...? Also, the weight factor. I did a little searching around on the forums, and from what I read it is possible to tandem a larger fella. Pops is 6'4" and around the 240-250 mark, give or take a few either way. So my question is, does anybody know of a DZ in Colorado that is willing to help? and Two, will his weight be an issue at this proposed DZ? Thanks in advance guys. I'm really excited about this!

Grips 0 #3 November 7, 2006 Thanks, I just checked out their website. They have a 210 lb weight limit for tandems, which from the sounds of it is the same across the board for Colorado since they are higher in elevation. I don't think it looks very promising.
