biggerthanjesus 0 #1 September 5, 2003 Hi Picture this, im 30, 5ft 8" weigh 105kg, and when poured into a jumpsuit i look like a bright orange basketball. was this gonna deture me from jumping into oblivion..........................NOPE3500ft later i was to discover that adrenline is brown and smells of poop and persil really gets the jumpsuits clean. I dont know what rock i've ben hiding under since i last jumped, but im off to the DZ in another couple of weeks for my 3 DP static line jumps. Hooked i havent stopped smililing. any tips for the novice (overweight) jumper would be appriciated (apart from lose weight) Peace to all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charleslittle 0 #4 September 6, 2003 I'm a new jumper myself, and the only advice I can give, is to get information if you are ever in doubt! This forum is a great place to get experienced information when you have a question about anything related to skydiving! Have fun and above all STAY SAFE! c."Life is a party...dance your way through it!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeTJumps 4 #6 September 6, 2003 Diet and exercise, then get ready to enjoy a long and fun-filled jumping career. Get books on the subject and study it to be informed. Get used to large parachutes as they will be the most benefit to you right now.
