Thijs 0 #1 December 19, 2004 Hello, I have been around this forum for a while, but never posted anything until now. I'm no skydiver yet. I want to take up a static-line FJC next summer. I want to prepare myself as good as possible before even going to the DZ (is about 60 km from my home so that is a long bike ride I'll be 18 when I will make my first jump (if everything goes as planned) so I do not need approval of my parents to go skydiving. But still, I don't think they will just let me do it, so I do not really know how to ask/tell them. If someone has some advice, just replay, pm of mail ([email protected]) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #2 December 19, 2004 Welcome to the forums! As far as your parents are concerned, there have been a few discussions about that subject that you can find with a search through the forums too.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Hey Mom, guess what I just did?"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
op5e 0 #4 December 19, 2004 Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy gettings your knees in the breeze. You can always hang out at the dropzone and maybe they will teach you to pack. You pickup great info at the dropzone, but like picking up information here make sure you ask your instructor before you put this information into practice.
