wiz 0 #1 October 17, 2003 Hello. I have just finished my student jumps and am working toward my A license. I love this sport!! I'm very excited and am looking for all information and tips and places to go and people to know and...you get the idea I'm sure. I'm jumping at Mike Palmer's World o' Fun in Cushing, OK, and am looking forward to meeting the rest of the world soon. Thanks for checking on the newbie and I hope you have a great day.

lewis321 0 #4 October 17, 2003 Welcome WIZThe one cool thing about skydiving is you have friends no matter where you decide to go. Hang around here and you can pick up a lot of good info. Don't be a stranger, Todd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shortyred919 0 #7 October 17, 2003 Hey Wiz! Welcome to the forums from another Newbie! I just did my first jump at SkydiveAirtight in Skiatook on Sunday with DrStrangelove. Those guys are awesome over there. I'm from Chicago, so I probably won't get back down there anytime soon. But if you want to try a smaller DZ, I recommend SkydiveAirtight. _________________________ ____________________ Stacy the Red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiz 0 #8 October 18, 2003 Thanks for writing me. I love Cushing. Why are you going so far away to jump? Hinton may be closer, and I know Cushing is. (by like an hour) I don't know what YIM means, but do it for me, too. Catch up with you later. Waving off, jeff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiz 0 #11 October 18, 2003 Thanks for welcoming me. I love Indianians. I do have a question for you. How do you like your racer? I think that's the container that I want to get...but no one at my DZ has one, so I don't know a lot about them. Again, thanks for writing me. I hope I don't become a stranger...or that I am one already and don't know it. That would really suck. Waving off, jeff.Waving off, jeff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiz 0 #12 October 18, 2003 Thanks for writing me. I am happy that I can drop a name in if I ever make it to Deland. Unless, of course, you've done something incredibly awful and they won't let me jump because of you. Then I would wish that I had never met you at all. Which I haven't. so...

wiz 0 #13 October 18, 2003 Thanks for the tip. Glad to know that if I ever get sick and tired of the HUGE EXPANSIVE METROPOLIS that is Cushing, OK...and their IMMENSELY GIGANTIC airport...I do have a backup plan. Hope to talk to you soon. I like red. Unless it's blood...then I faint. Cause I'm a girl when it comes to blood. Not that there's anything wrong with being a girl...it's just that...I...uh...

I'm a five foot redhead, I figure this name suits me pretty well.

Mike has always run a top-notch student program. Cushing is where I learned how to skydive, made a lot of great friends, and eventually earned my Instructor rating. For personal reasons I don't jump there anymore, but it's a wonderful DZ.

It is a very comfortable rig. It is an NOS(narrow over the shoulder). Two things I don't like are that it has a lot of velcro, which wears out. It can be replaced. I wish it had a little more padding on the leg straps. I think they have addressed the velcro issue on newer models however.

Hey, we jumped together right before July 4th. My radio fell off in freefall and you helped coach my friend and I through the CATs. I did my graduation jump with Tony Cortez...who I hadn't jumped with since my 2nd jump. I hit it though. I graduated in the air and then landed short of the beer line, so I had to buy a bunch of sweet, sweet nectar. The tab alone was more than my jump. Talk to you soon, and thanks for looking me up. I'm sure I'll see you around and I'll be back to jump at Hinton after I get my license. Keep in touch.Waving off, jeff.
