Okay here is my deal. I'm a big guy. 6'3" 330lbs. Going to lose a lot of weight, but I'm worried it's still going to be an issue. I read a few threads on here regarding high weight jumps. From what I gather nobody will be will to do a tandem jump with me even at my best weight (275). That's the least I've ever weighed in my adult life. I'm a big guy naturally. When I weighed 275lbs very little of it was fat if any. All that being said, here are my questions. Please bare in mind I don't know very much about the sport aside from the fact I really want to get into it!
I don't really have a desire to do a tandem jump at all which from what I gather nobody is likely to do a tandem with me anyway. So if I take classes can I jump solo for my 1st jump?
Also assuming I get back to my target weight of 275, am I still going to have to buy my own rig in order to jump. I know that 275 is still on the high side for a jump weight. That's why I'm asking.
Please any advice aside from lose the weight(I working on that) would be helpful. Thanks you in advance for any help.
