Spdu4ia 0 #1 November 15, 2006 ok... well ... where to begin. My name is Travis and I am new to EVERYTHING! I am planning my first jump here soon and will be attempting my AFF certification (please correct me if i botch up some terminology). I guess i have Megan to thank/blame for this --- more on that later! umm... i dont know what else to say so i'll just leave it at that for now... peace!

Spdu4ia 0 #7 November 15, 2006 funny you should say that! we did a pinstripe tattoo on someone last week! haha. I'm hooked and I haven't even jumped yet! Is that a problem? I think i need psychiatric help Thank you all for the welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivamegan 0 #8 November 15, 2006 QuoteWelcome to the forums! This is Megan. Hello everyone. Yes I am responsible for Travis. Be nice to him. He is a good guy (he hasn't made his first jump yet). I post occasionally, but I tend to shy away from message boards due to the amount of argueing and biccering that goes on. I am an avid skydiver though. Welcome to the family Travis. YEEHAW!!_______________________________________________ CARPE DIEM PMS#529 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjsgrlsx3 0 #9 November 16, 2006 No psychiatrist needed. What you need is a good jump! I do recommend that when you jump ask another jumper to go with you. (even if you do a tandem) it is pretty neat to see someone flying around you up there! So if you get it videod, which is a must in my book and do a tandem, there should be four that leave the plane when you do. Have a blast and start saving now!

Spdu4ia 0 #10 November 16, 2006 i'm sure megan (in all of her gracefull landing glory) will be there rockin out with me . I am going to skip the tandem part and attemp the first AFF jump (something about just holding on to someone for the entire times kills it for me). I will keep you all updated and thank you for the welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydivamegan 0 #12 November 16, 2006 HEY!!! DON'T MOCK MY LANDINGS!!!! Its more of an art than a science. And, yes I will ride in the plane with you, but I won't try to catch you in freefall as this is way too distracting on an AFF jump. My landings are like this--------I'm very accurate in where I land, just not so much in how I flare. Your day will come. You'll have to land too and boy will I laugh my ass off at you._______________________________________________ CARPE DIEM PMS#529 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robyn 0 #14 November 16, 2006 Good Luck Travis, there is no way in hell I would have jumped out of that plane the first time without going tandem, I would have freaked out! But I am a big ole wuss, so good luck and have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
