Jeth 0 #3 August 25, 2004 Hi, Welcome! I have only been doing 1 jump a day, every other week, for my training due to financial and time constraints. But many of my fellow students have told me that the training is much better if you can do more than 1 in a day. So if you are trying to do AFF quickly, you should go for at least 2 or 3 jumps a day. I have several friends who did 3 or 4 jumps a day and finished their training in 4 or 5 days. (Our program here at Skydive Chicago requires 20 jumps to graduate) Good luck with AFF!!

GravityGirl 0 #8 August 26, 2004 Being and AFF Jumpmaster myself, I would recommend starting and finishing the program in one place. Then when you get a couple jumps under your belt, come up for a visit. We have good coaches and JMs and lots of freindly people to play with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

Sebazz1 2 #9 August 30, 2004 What up Alex! I believe I met you Saturday afternoon. Wicked awesome day it was out there. You'll find that all the DZ's in the Bay Area are cool and all of them have something extra special that makes them unique from each other. So I wont tell you where to do your AFF or nothin or where to jump. That's up to you. I will probably see you next weekend if you are out there. Bring a sleeping bag and a change of clothes whenever you come down so you can kick back drink some beers at the end of the day and make some new friends... Cheers dood and congrats on your first jump! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
