I did my first tandem on Aug. 15th of this year and was immediately hooked. I've signed up for the AFF course and have been back twice to jump. The first day there was a plane malfunction and the 2nd time there was too much wind. Anyway, I guess that is skydiving. I'm going back again Columbus Day weekend.
Anyway, glad to have found the dropzone forums and to say hello. My home drop zone is Skydive Orange.

Thanks skymama, I can see myself hanging out around here a good bit.
Greg I was mixed on whether to do my AFF this fall/winter or wait until spring but decided to go for it. It will take me a while since I can pretty much only jump every other weekend (shared custody+work). I don't mind the cold and have good cold weather gear from running and other outdoor hobbies.
The awesome days totally make up for the bad weather days, so hang in there and good luck!
