MFS

6 YEARS LATER... It was great, I went down to Spaceland in Houston. It was a bit difficult to find a rig that worked for me (6''9") but overall make sure your instructor knows how to work with tall/big people. I had a unique accident where my shoulder popped out at around 10k ft. I didn't know what was happening at the time but thank God I landed safely. I have it all on video too. Learn the basics and memorize the important steps for safety. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

My mistake, I have no idea where Austin came from. Houston!

In two weeks, I will be heading to Spaceland in Austin! Thank you everyone for their replies and I'll let you know how the adventure goes!

SDC limit is 220, that is my first choice if I can make it happen.

So I just found out my dropzone does not have a big boy rig for students seeking an A-license. I am 6'9" / 250lbs. Does anybody know of a dropzone that would offer an A-License for my situation? I am willing to travel anywhere in the states to make this happen. Thank you!

Thank you all for the advice. Any real real tall guys have any advice? Especially on equipment...

I've been a reader on the forums for quite some time now, but decided to finally post. I am preparing to get my A-License this spring here in Chicago. I am 6'9" 250lbs. Any advice in regards to preparing for the class or any tips? Much appreciated!
