BillyVance 34 #27 December 17, 2004 QuoteI don't think it's totally about weight or whatever. Jeremy B. from Tecumseh is the fastest that I know. Not sure exactly what his record is, but I know it blew my mind when I heard it. Yeah, it's not all the weight. There's some skill involved. I've never done much head-down, hardly any at all, not even anything more than a 2 way headdown. But used my skills as a late diver on big ways one day with a borrowed Pro Track and I hit 224 mph, just wanted to see how fast I could go... I just remember gaping at the Pro Track afterwards going "no way!" ETA: I'm 5'-6" and 160 lbs...

happythoughts 0 #28 December 17, 2004 QuoteDon't misunderstand me. Of course, I WEAR LEAD, as well, especially for 4-way. (My chest doesn't weigh THAT much! ) My previous g/f was 5'1" and weighed 108. Pretty close to the same build as you. (She even drinks the same green martinis - this is starting to get scary. ) She wore 17 lbs sometimes. She would keep her belt on the rig rack, bend over and pull it on her back, then snap it. Ever notice that a male skydiver can ask a female skydiver her weight without her being offended? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #30 December 17, 2004 Quote Cool Ro. Ok So far we have Aggie Dave and Rosa. Don't make me call Guiness. Quote Does anyone remember a Texas gal whose nickname was "Lil Bit"? I met her at Monroe, GA during a Casa boogie in the late 90's, and she was as small as any I've ever seen, just as small as Rosa. She worked for that giant Swedish communications company...whatever the name of it was... The largest dude I've seen weighed close to 300 pounds. Some grandfather at West Tennessee... jumps a Falcon 300. I remember he wanted to get out low, like 5000 feet, and then the rest of the King Air load went up to altitude. So he's squatting by the door trying to get Mike to cut the speed some... finally he goes 1... 2... and away! The tail of the plane bobbed up some 4 feet!

The smallest person I ever jumped with was 4'9" and weighed 85 lbs. She was tiny! She started jumping at a place that still used conventional gear (this is back in 1980 or so) and it was a terrifying experience for her as she was always afraid she was going to fall out of the rig. The rig weighed nearly as much as her...50 lbs for conventional gear. Very difficult to move around in the aircraft and if she got on her back in freefall...well, she stayed there. She nearly quit but started jumping at gananoque, ON which was the first dz in Canada to use piggyback containers which fit her better and were somewhat lighter. She jumped for a number of years before starting a family.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BIGUN 1,321 #32 December 17, 2004 6'6" 250# (it's Christmas time) Best I've gotten in head down was 209MPHNobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
