hotsun 0 #1 September 8, 2005 Just started skydiving on my son's 18th birthday. Knew he would love it - wasn't sure about me. Thought I would do just 1 tandem... 6 weeks later I have 36 jumps and my A license. Can't believe it took me so long, but I plan to learn all I can and enjoy the hell out of it!! Hope to make new friends here and possibly meet up with you "Up There"!! Love the Sunshine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #2 September 8, 2005 Hey there, welcome to the forums! Wow, you finished AFF and have a total of 36 skydives in 6 weeks? That's great going! Bet you're officially the coolest mom at your boy's school too huh? Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotsun 0 #4 September 8, 2005 Hi Peej, My son left for college labor day weekend (freshman year) and he is already missing the DZ (not me but the DZ!). He was a natural and did 18 jumps in 2 days to finish his STP training. He has 46 jumps and his A license now. But I had more challenges during my training than he did - off DZ landing, line twists and a total malfunction. I never thought about stopping though - I truly love this sport!! Love the Sunshine!

hotsun 0 #5 September 8, 2005 It is awesome jumping with my son!! Right now we are still learning to stay together. He is going to try and teach me how to sit. Maybe while he is gone for a month to college I can learn from someone else and surprise him when he returns! He is a natural. Our home DZ is Skydive Spaceland in Houston where the freefly team Spaceland Anomaly trains. They are fantastic! Maybe I can get one of them to coach me now that Nationals are over and they won Gold!!! I could be better than my son when he returns! I look forward to meeting new friends here and exchanging ideas about my newest obsession! Love the Sunshine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
