    well....with your body weight you will definatly notice a big difference. we weigh about the same and i got a 185turbo z 9cell and its plenty for me. just make sure you watch your low turns and you should be fine. I went from a 275 to a 220 to a 190 to my current canopy....the 1st 2 where student rigs...i borrowed a couple different ZP 190's.

    what is your body weight? that is a huge jump in canopies! make sure you check your wing loading.

    well....it is alot of money but at least you get a cypress. you have to think about how many jumps are you actualy gunna put on it b4 you down size. this being your 1st set-up i imagine you will be downsizing sooner than you think and 3600 is alot of money to piss away. i just bought my 1st set-up not to long ago and i got it for under $1000! its a vector2 with a brand new 185turbo z main(1jump) and a raven 1 res(0jumps). and yes, i got it off of DZ.com. i think the main problem you will have with that rig is trying to get your money out of it....and id make sure that cypress has at least 8to10years left on it. my advice.....part the rig out in your mind or on paper and do the math....the decison is totaly up to you. Good Luck and Blue Skies, Rob

    actualy..it wuz only illigal to purchase the high cap. mags....if you already owned them....it wuz not illegal....ive got sum 30 and 40 rounders for my ar-15 and never got in any trouble. but we dont have to worry about that anymore since they lifted the pre-ban law!

    sup shorty. i actualy did my 1st tandem on vacation down @ FreeFall Express in Mt. Vernon, Mo. last Sept. and it absolutly changed my life! its the only thing that can keep me sober! ive made 51 jumps sinse then and its a new experience every time. there is nothing like pulling a huge "gainer" off of an airplane wing.

    yeah...that is a nice bike. i think its still the fastest production bike yet! but like that person above me said....go w/ 2bros....i got it on mine and i guess its the best. I was thinking about replacing mine so i asked my local bike mechanic(good friend) and he said there isnt anything else out there that could get me more flow so i stuck w/ it. call your local high performance motorcycle center and see what they say. good luck and ride safe. Blue Skies, Rob
