Alex.... lets pump the brakes and relax bud... theres no need to get this fired up because in your eyes i made a poor choice in words on the original post. My apologies. I was simply throwin it out there that ive been told im doing really well and that might make a difference in my canopy choice as opposed to someone who is struggling with canopy control.

I hope to be jumping 8 or more times a week. Right now Im spending the weekends at Vermont Skydiving Adventures just outside of burlington vermont. Its the only place ive jumped so far but i like it a lot cause its a awesome group of people and everyones real close so im constantly being coached and getting advice after every jump. Cross Keys NJ is 20 minutes from where i live so once i get my own rig and some more experience ill head there as much as i can but for now im content with goin to vermont since its not as high a volume DZ. Some of you guys are vicious on here. Im admitting i know nothing about the sport compared to all of you which is why im looking for advice not people taking bets on when im gonna wreck haha

Whats goin on guys. So im going for my first rig and came across a solid set up that has a Nitro 150 as a main. I rocked AFF in 3 days on a 235 and then went to a 170 at 10 jumps and then took it down to a sabre2 150 for my last three jumps, i havent had any issues so far and land on my feet everytime. Everyone at the DZ has said im super heads up and killen it and you wouldnt think im only at 35 jumps. I dont want to get ahead of myself or sound to cocky but i also dont want to purchase a canopy and then get bored with it too quick. Id rather get something that i can grow into and dial in with a few high openings at first. With my weight the wing loading would be at 1.2 on a 150. Id imagine ill be around 50 jumps by time i actually get the rig. No one at the DZ knows much at Nitros nor has any got the chance to try one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.
