    1. Canopy progression & wing loading My weight was arround 150-155 while bicycle racing, maxed out at 180, and I am now 155-160. I've made a couple hundred jumps at sea-level boogies, although all the rest have been at 4500-6000 feet MSL so I'm probably jumping canopies 1-2 sizes bigger than I would at sea level. I pretty much jumped what I had until I felt a real need for more speed, resulting in the following progression: 12 jumps under Sky Master 295s and Manta 288s 70ish jumps under a Turbo Z 205 @ .88 12 jumps under a Sabre 170 @ 1.06 100ish jumps under a Monarch 155 @ 1.16 150ish jumps under a Monarch 135 @ 1.33-1.52 before acquiring other canopies, 100+ after. 250ish jumps under a Batwing 134 @ 1.5ish 600+ on my Stiletto 120 mostly at 1.67, but now

    Sure, although you won't be able to get much of a turn with a weight shift.
