Hey everybody
Can't Post
I'm pumped that I found this awesome community!
I had my first jump just last fall, and I've been pretty much obsessed since then haha. I think the quote on the wall of the DZ I went to sums my experience up pretty much perfectly "once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; for there you have been and there you long to return" It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid to drive with my windows down anymore because I tend to close my eyes and imagine I'm in the air again, then I open them and realize I'm in the wrong lane lol
But I'm planning on going for my license this summer providing my finances work out. Essentially I'm just debating on taking a week or so off to knock it out or just do a couple jumps on the weekends and do it over a few months. Any recommendations?
I can't wait to get into the sport and I think my goal may be in wingsuits because that just looks amazing!

Make sure you only do it on the straightaways and you'll be fine.
Welcome to the addiction.

Welcome to the forums! The biggest problem with trying to do your training in a week is the weather. Where do you live? Will you have to worry about afternoon thunderstorms?
welcome! hope you are ready to sacrifice all other things to throw yourself out of airborne vehicles! Once you get stung by this sport it can take over your life!
