Well, thanks for the scolding. You motivated me to never post in the forums again. Im not your son. A simple "no, try this and blue skies" would suffice. And as evidence by your post, I know exactly the kind of person you are. Thanks for the advice, but lighten up.

Happy Satuday everyone. Well, I’m at 20 jumps now and am getting closer and closer to my A-License. I have begun the religious viewing of the Dropzone classifieds. I’m 5’11 and about 177lbs. I am currently jumping a 200 and I stand it up every time. I know the best thing to do is to find a 190. But as most of you know, those are up one day and sold the next. Just wondering if you guys think I could go a bit smaller than a 190. And of course, I understand safety is the first concern. Thanks guys!

Ya i have a pair of nike shocks that I wear. They are kinda old. Might invest in a new comfy pair. I dont think it helped that the rig didnt have much padding around the groin and my legs were some what asleep under canopy lol. Cant wait to get my own rig.

Thanks again guys. Yesterday I hit the peas. I got props from everyone at the DZ. It was a big confidence booster. "Id rather shoot for the stars and miss, than aim for the gutter and make it." ~Danny Trejo

Has anyone ever gotten any pain in the top of their feet? I had 3 jumps yesterday and I have just had this stinging sensation on top of my feet? Landings were fine. Just curious if anyone else has ever had this. "Id rather shoot for the stars and miss, than aim for the gutter and make it." ~Danny Trejo

HAHA thanks for all the input everyone. Ya I figure my title post would get some weird looks. lol. Thanks again, I should be getting better in the next few jumps. "Id rather shoot for the stars and miss, than aim for the gutter and make it." ~Danny Trejo

Well I did my 7th skydive sunday, and it was great. Thing is with me, I always perform great free fall technique, but when I pull my chute, Thats when I start to have trouble. I really have trouble making it to the DZ. I always have to go for my plan B which is a little embarrassing. I always have a good landing at least, just a long walk back. When I get a smaller canopy, you think I will do better in getting to the place everyone else lands? Will I eventually just get better with experience? (I hope) Any advice or personal experiences will help and give me motivation. Thanks! "Id rather shoot for the stars and miss, than aim for the gutter and make it." ~Danny Trejo
