Not sure if this is theright spot to ask this question, but lately every time I jump I open with an end cell closure. It's no big deal but the couple of times that this has spun me around 180 degrees from my opening heading makes me a little uncomfortable since it is heading me back toward the group I tracked away from. Any clues, I currently pro pack my canopy and I just drop the nose.

Thanks everyone, the advice is amazing, I will be looking into a suit ASAP!!

aside from a suit, any tips on body position??? I've tried hugging a beach ball and while that slowed me down, it still didn't slow me down enough.

Hello all, I am a new skydivier (34 jumps so far) I have been working really had to get better at the sport but so far the biggest problem that I am running into is my fall rate. I am 6ft tall and weight in at 235 (260 jump weight) I fall like a bag of iron. I need help to slow my fall rate so I can do some RW work and not just be the base every time. Being base has helped me learn to be really, really stable but my flying has suffered since I never get to fly in and dock. Please give me any tips on ways to slow my fall rate. Thanks all, Rookie
