The AFF jump was 3 years ago. I had to stop for surgery to fix a college football injury. I've dropped weight since then, the only problem is that the DZ I was training at lost their license to land jumpers at the airport. Wasn't the DZ's fault, the City pulled the plug all drops landing at the airport. So the search has begun again...

I've been able to search the forums to learn a great amount of info about gear for larger jumpers, which is helpful since I'm 6'6" and 270. However I haven't been able to find any info about training us plus sized people that want to jump. Most of the DZ's in my area limit student weights to 230 and under. The average response I've received when inquiring is "Call us when you lose weight." I've made a few tandem jumps and one AFF jump and would like get things rolling, but it's hard to do that standing on the ground. Anyone have info that might help me out? I'd really appreciate it. Thx.
