    it makes me a little more comfortable to hear that others have dealt with this, but those stories of falling out of the harness kinda scare the shit outta me. i've tried on other people's rigs and the biggest problem is my thighs. what about wearing like 5 pairs of shorts or wrapping ace bandages around my thighs? i've been eating more chocolate but i cant get fat!!! i want to freefly and play in the sky without worrying about losing my rig, ya know?

    THAT'S conforting... it was kinda one of my big concerns with such a big rig. i'm a little weary about freeflying in that thing too. i accidentally got into a sitfly on my solo jump and imediately arched back to my belly cuz i didnt know if the rig would cooperate. now THAT is some SPECTACULAR advice! I'll definately keep that in mind with every jump. Skydiving is to me what crack is to a whore. I NEED MY FIX BITCH!

    8th grade i was forced into an all girls catholic school so it was always 4:20 from the moment i smoked my first J (13 yrs old).... what's better than getting a bunch of catholic school girls blown before morning chapel?? hey, it made it interesting for a change "Never leave home without a towel!"

    so yea i dont weigh much and my home dropzone's smallest gear for me to rent is still HUGE on me. the rig littlerally starts to fall off in the airplane. the risers will fall to my elbows even if i have the chest strap tight as hell. i've had quite a bit of experience with landing backwards and getting no penetration. i can be the first one out of the plane and i'm still the last one to land. (it really sux when there's a race, i always owe beer god damn it). so i know i need to get my own shit, i'm working on it, in the mean time what am i suposed to do? is it safe for me to jump this way? the canopy doesnt fly propperly with my skinny ass under it but i dont know what the other options are. any suggestions?

    i've come to find that there is a dropzone right by where i'll be staying. yea, it is a full service dropzone so that's sweet but the prices are a bit high. i'm thinking it'll be worth it to see Mexico from 14k. finding gear that fits me is pretty difficult though... i weigh about 110 and i've spent quite a bit of time flying backwards or getting little penetration. i think the student gear i use here in michigan is a 230 and it's kinda scary. hopefully they have something in my size, i'll find out when i call them. thanks for all the info!

    I only need a hop & pop to get my A liscence but i havent been very current due to the god damn snow. i'll be going to mexico for vacation in a few months, where are the dropzones located and are they safe? I know we'll be on the east coast but i dont recall exactly where. do they have anything like USPA there? do i need to do anything special to skydive in another country? will training in mexico count towards a USPA liscence?

    i know about the whole "going south" thing, i did it my first year of skydiving and lived in z-hills for a few months. i LOVE that place and i want to eventually live there again but it's all comes down to financial issues. Where the hell do you guys get the money for all of this?!?!?! I have the 9-5 job and all but it doesnt cover the cost of gear and what not. am i suposed to just max out credit cards or become a skanky stripper? i dont think i have the intimidation factor to become a drug lord or the drugs. i'm more than willing to fuck over my credit for this sport, but i'd rather not. any advice???

    hello all, I'm Grape and I'm new to dropzone.com. I just want to introduce myself and say hi. I have 35 jumps so far and I'm only a hop and pop away from my A liscence but this crappy snow in Michigan is keeping me grounded for now. How do skydivers up north deal with winter?!?!?! i'm going crazy! Skydiving is to me what crack is to a whore. I NEED MY FIX BITCH!
