I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I have a situation close to that. I have a huge bruise about 2" below my right wrist that I notice gets bigger every time I land. I also notice that I grab the front risers as it's deploying. I think that may have something to do with it...

Haha! Seriously.

I, myself, am a newbie. I jump in Lodi, Ca. Albeit I only have 10 jumps (all of them were from student training :P), I've yet to do my first completely solo jump, etc. but all of your firsts were pretty self-explanitory except the pieing. Qu'est-ce que c'est?(En Anglais: What's that?)

Thank you both so much. Your help is appreciated.

Sweet, thanks for the help. Also, (Not that I couldn't ask this of my instructor at my DZ, but seeing as how I'm already here..) where can one learn the requirements for an A license? Are there classes to sign up for to learn how to pack a chute? And when I eventually get my first rig, and purchase the Cypress, can I put it in myself, or should a certified rigger do it?

Well, last week I made my grad jump and got off student status. I'm so new, it's embarassing. Well, I've done as much research as I can in the past few days, and have a few questions. First off, I've been jumping (For the last 7 jumps) in a Triathalon 190. My exit weight's probably about 180 or so. I don't plan on buying a rig anytime soon, but I've been checking them out as much as I can. From what I've found, I'm thinking I'll eventually get something along the lines of a Sabre 180 or maybe even 170. Ideally, I'm looking for a 9 cell, semi-elliptical, ZP, about 175-190 ft^2 main. I'm not sure if having a throw-out pilot chute is part of the container or the parachute itself, but I'd want that, too. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time and your patience. Being a newbie sucks, especially when you're a poor newbie.
