slotperfect 7 #28 August 5, 2003 Hi rocket, and welcome to the forums! It's great to hear your enthusiasm for skydiving, and yes I can relate to the addiction. I am to the point now that I get to share my joy of the sport with others by teaching them through tandems and AFF - it is a great experience to watch others experience personal breathroughs in their lives first hand. Enjoy the big blue sky . . . my only coaching for you is to get really good at the basic things before moving on to more advanced stuff, especially downsizing to faster, higher performance canopies. Be safe and have fun . . . Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocket 0 #30 August 8, 2003 update to all ............ I have qualified for my B. Onward and Downward. Yeah Zoomie it makes sense, I guess, maybe. I don't know. Does anything really make sense? Take jumping out of a plane, to me it makes complete sense. To others, whuffo's, I am f**king insane. I say their life makes no sense. Does that make sense? Zoomie to the moon!!!!

Plummets 0 #32 August 8, 2003 Hi Rocket, like you I am addicted. AFF at Sebastian in June, jumping in UK whenever I can and decided a few days ago to go to Empruvia (spain) this afternoon for a few weekend jumps !!. Just 2 regrets, (1). Not finding this sport until 34 and (2). Marrying that woman. Luckily I am now free (1) to fly, (2) of her "Life is a bowl of deadly nightshade, stay way way out on the rim brother" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PilotMike 0 #33 August 9, 2003 Reminds me of a tandem out at Aggieland recently (I'm pretty sure AggieDave was the TM). Anyway, the guy was mid 30's, an Elvis impersonator, and he had the best question when he landed and was asked what he thought. All he said was, QuoteHOW DO PEOPLE LIVE WITHOUT THIS?! Perfect, I think... Nobody will ever answer that (or the licks to the center of a tootsie pop) -------- Benefitting from the 'free capture of verticality.'
