hopper 0 #1 August 25, 2003 All i can say is f@ck me.. that was whole lotta fun ... On Sunday i got up enough courage to try my first tandem jump... And all i can say is that is one of the best things i have ever done in my life. I'm sitting here at work.... its monday morning and i can still feel the adrenaline .... I wanted to send thanks to everyone at this forum. I spent a couple nights reading thru the posts before the day to try and decide for myself if this was something i wanted to do. I also would like to say thanks to my slob neighbor Ritch for getting me to go to the drop zone and makeing that first jump with me... thanks Ritch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #6 August 25, 2003 I never did a tandem, but my girlfriend did, and that was what catapulted us into the sport full time: her tandem jump and my envy. We went AFF together and have been passionate about the sport ever since. Congratulations on your tandem, and perhaps we'll see you in here posting about your AFF course soon.

f1shlips 2 #7 August 26, 2003 How come I gotta be a slob? How bought that guy Ritch who is too busy jumping to clean? Or that really awesome guy Ritch who opened my eyes to the real world? Nooooo...
