pfloyd 0 #1 September 13, 2006 Hello all, I am new to dz.com and to skydiving. I did 2 tandem jumps and two aff jumps at Skydance skydiving in Davis. I was hooked on my first tandem. My next jump is this Sat and I cant wait, its all I think about. Why do others think I'm nuts? I think they are nuts for not trying it out at least once. Well thanks for reading my 1st post and I wish blue skies for you all My drinking team has a skydiving problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoWorriesNIkky 0 #2 September 13, 2006 Hey Pfloyd: Welcome. Yea everyone thinks I'm nuts too. I was hooked on my first Tandem as well. Obviously cause I did 7 more tandems! It seems that everyone new says the same thing...I'ts all I think about and talk about. I don't know why, but it's true! Tomorrow morning I start a two day static line progression into free fall course! Welcome and good luck on Saturday! Blue skies to you too. Nichole Edited to add: I noticed you are from Roseville also. I am jumping at the Parachute Center in Lodi though. Let me know how skydance is. We will probably cross paths soon. Do I know you?

brianfry713 0 #4 September 14, 2006 Hey Paul, Welcome to skydiving, Skydance, and dz.com. I'll see ya at the dropzone some time, but I probably won't be there this weekend. I made at least one jump every weekend for my first full summer in the sport, so you could say I'm pretty hooked. Have fun, and listen to Perry, Keith, and the other great AFF instructors in Davis.

bafoon 0 #6 September 14, 2006 Hi Pfloyd sounds like yur havin a ball I used to skydive many years ago (1982) ending up with just under 300 jumps. I have recently started flying again but in a windtunnel (boddyflight Bedford) its a grat tool for learning to fly in a controled environment and like you i am hooked. Hope all goes well and if you get the chance try out indoor flying not as a substitute but as an enhancement.

I did my first 2 tandems with Dean and Kim, they also were very cool and I learned a lot from them. Thank you all for being so friendly. One thing I have noticed in the sport, everyone is super friendly Blue skies to all!

Kevin lol, the funny thing is that I usually bring a 12pack every time I go there anyway, but after I finish I am sure I should bring at least a case right?

But I had a good dive other than that and my landing pattern and landing were perfect. It was kewl seeing John there since I first talked to him on this forum - go John! We'll jump on the same load soon I'm sure Damn I love skydiving.--blue skies My drinking team has a skydiving problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites johnsw71 0 #14 September 19, 2006 It was awesome to see you putting in your hours of mandatory "AFF wait time" this weekend, Paul. Sorry that you ended up doing more slack line practice than skydiving (man, my legs are covered with cuts and bruises now!). Glad that you at least got one jump in. Hang in there -- you'll be done with AFF before you know it!
