marc.olivares 0 #1 April 17, 2005 hey all... been quietly lurking for the past few months while i got up the nerve to make my first jump. well yesterday, my buddy and i took our dive. all i can say is that this sport will most likely be worse than a heroin habit.... i'm hooked...and hard! looks like my next jump is on monday, so much for that savings account..

flyangel2 2 #2 April 17, 2005 WelcomeWhat kind of jump did you do? What kind of training jumps will you be doing while going through student training?May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What were you thinking when the door opened and the cold air rushed in lol. I was fine up till then, then I nearly soild myself when I saw the first people drop. Was it anything like you expected? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BethMott 0 #11 April 23, 2005 Yep, there's NOTHING like the feeling of the air when the door slides open. That's a rush like no other. You'll be spending a lot of money if you're hooked like the rest of us. Congrats on your first jump....and be safe!
