skymama 35 #4 April 16, 2003 Well, this site is chock-full of information for you covering everything a newbie could possibly want to know. Spend a while clicking on all the links and you'll find pages and pages of information. Also, all new skydivers should read "The Skydiver's Handbook". You can buy a copy here.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nightjumps 1 #6 April 16, 2003 Here's some free literature on the First Jump Course at our Drop Zone. It's a handout for students to read prior to attending class. It is NOT a substitue for the performance-oriented training your instructors will demonstrate for you. And, depending on aircraft, the exit procedures might change. http://www.skydivetulsa.com/online_manual.htm ...Bigun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
covey 0 #7 April 16, 2003 I don't have alot of suggestions for you. Just like to welcome you to the website. I was hoping you could do me a favor and run down to Ferrari, and tell them to pull there head out of there ass. Hopefully they will get it together for Imola!!!!!

flygirl60 0 #9 April 16, 2003 Hi....Antonio, I am Deborah from Georgia and I too am raising money to begin my AAF course. I am having to take on a part time job just to finance my skydiving but it is an expense worth working at bit extra for. I read the skydivers handbook here and it's great. I personally am just spending any spare time I have learning about everything I can (especially malfunctions and what to do about them). Good luck!

nacmacfeegle 0 #15 April 17, 2003 Hey Antonio, it might be worth going to visit your local dropzone, or phoning them. There is a list of Italian DZs here..... http://www.dropzone.com/dropzone/Europe/Italy/index.html The local jumpers will probably be happy to chat and answer your questions...... There are some good skydivers from Italy, the Frick Freefly team (Atmonauti) are great people.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
