  1. I appreciate the responses folks. Don't worry, I'm not offended by the weight comment. Unfortunately losing weight is not really an option, I am involved in other sports that require me to pretty much stay where I'm at. I have a mesomorph body type, and I keep myself in very good shape. That said, I can go down 10lbs quite easily before I start to notice an energy loss. Losing energy poses a problem for me as I race motocross as well. When I start cutting down, my stamina for racing sucks. My DZ operator is a very accomplished jumper; he's got something like 17,000 jumps. He suggests that I look into a very baggy suite in order to increase drag while I fall. I will attempt the suggestions the both of you have offered. Thanks
  2. Evening folks, Very new to skydiving andmy first post in your forum. I have a bit of a question for all of you pro skydivers out there. According to my instructors I fall very fast. To the point that my instructors usually have to weigh a weight belt. My question is this....what is the best jumpsuit for a new (15 jumps) jumper that needs to slow down? I have been wearing a cotton type of suite, anything in the nylon are is a no go for me. I'm 5'8" and roughly 195-200lbs. Any information you can provide will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time
