Damion 0 #1 April 12, 2004 hello, my name is Nicholas and i just had my first skydiving experience yesterday (4/10/04) out in Perris Valley, CA. I loved it so much I went ahead and did a level 2 as well. I tried all night and all day today to try and compare it to something, but nothing comes close. See yal around!! :D --- "I want my wings to touch the sky and my fins to grace the sea, cause my feet hurt!" ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bertusgeert 1 #5 April 12, 2004 Welcome man I love reading these and being reminded of that first few days after that first jump! Uncomparable, just like you said. May you have many more safe, productive and fun jumps ahead! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loudawg 0 #9 April 13, 2004 Hey there, glad to see another local come aboard! I'm a noob myself, but just graduated AFF this weekend, so I'm just as excited as you are right now. It really sucks in a way, because I can't get this damn sport off of my mind! It's distracting me from my school work...all I wanna do is read more posts, watch more movies, look at more pictures. LoL. I really should be reading some books right now (or even sleeping!). Oh well, I can't be blamed - everyone here knows how incredible this sport is. I am so thankful I've gotten the opportunity to get involved in it. I never thought I'd go this far, either. I'm hooked for life! By the way, if you ever want someone to jump with, let me know. I live in Corona/Riverside, so I'm not far from Perris or Elsinore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damion75 0 #13 April 14, 2004 Bingo! I did the same... Clearly we will have to do an 'Omen' jump in some evil looking clothing some time!*************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sum1mom 0 #15 April 14, 2004 I'm new to the sport as well - and I'm catching on slowly...but, not toooo slow - obviously!! No comparison to anything is there? Find yourself falling to sleep in the box man position? Driving faster down the highway with the windows rolled down and your hand out the window, just to feel the rush of air between your fingers? Distracted by sunny days while at work? Me 2!!! Good Luck!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
