Yeeeeha 0 #1 October 14, 2004 Great place you guys got here. Did my first jump (tandem) just under a week ago and it blew my mind. I'm really keen to start the AFF course. Just wondering due to the cost of the first 8 or so jumps I'd only really be able to do one month, perhaps two on occasion depending on circumstances. Is this going to be a problem, as I understand staying current is an issue? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevepearce 0 #2 October 14, 2004 hi there great to see you jumpingany thing great(extraordinary ) isnt Free but i must say the first jump is the most Exspensive and it does get less expensive at each level you pass! as for the currency thing its up to your Dz and their instructors to evaluate the climate and your skill level which equals progresion, to move you on to the next level stay safe steveIf you can't kill yourself doing it, its not a sport... its a game. Risk factors do not add up, they multiply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tailgate 0 #4 October 14, 2004 Notice my low jump numbers Due to financial considerations, I guess I am what you would call a "casual" skydiver. If I could I would be at the DZ every week but due to obligations and finances I jump about twice a month. I did AFF this way and have not progresed as fast as those who jump more frequently but even if my exits are not what I wanted and I PLF more often than not, I still love the jump. Jumping more frequently will be easier and your skills will improve faster, but do what you can do. As long as you stay current and don't endanger those on the load with you you will progress. The longer I wait between jumps, the more anxeity I have on my first jump of the day, but ones I leave the plane and get some "breeze between my knees" the troubles that I had seem to melt away. If it something you love you will find a way. Sorry for the long post. Good luck in the sky. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
