Equipment concerns:

• For your and our safety we ask you to remove all sharp objects from your helmet for the practice and evaluation jumps.
• Full face helmet is a must during the course.
• Bring a jumpsuit that you are comfortable with, bootie suits are a great help for a more aggressive flying
• For a larger range in fall rate weight belt and baggy suit
• The pre-course is the time to try out new suits and get comfortable with your suit
