Melt16 0 #1 August 16, 2008 Hi, I am doing my AFF course and completed jump 3 two weeks ago! I think I've been bitten by the 'bug' as they say and can't wait for my next jump. Still very scared when it comes time to jump but I'm sure this will get better! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orange1 0 #2 August 16, 2008 Welcome to the sport and the forums And yes, the fear does get less and the fun more! The best way to get this to happen is to jump as much as you can! Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brucet7 0 #3 August 18, 2008 Welcome. I would say the fear comes and goes as you try new things. The fun just keeps going and growing with every jump, every new person you meet, with every new drop zone visited.POPS #10623; SOS #1672 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peej 0 #5 August 20, 2008 How did i miss this one? No matter, welcome to the forums Greg I see your profile says Durbs, are you jumping at skydive KZN or Maritzburg? And ja, the door fear does get better but even now when i haven't jumped in a while or am uncurrent by a week or two i get nervous in the plane, just relax Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennymartindale 0 #6 August 20, 2008 Howdy, Melt. I'm originally from Durbs and just started jumping this May out in Slovakia. Nothing like skydiving, ja? It's so great!!! I waited 15 years to do it and plan on making up for all that lost jump time...woohoo!!! Welkom, hierdie is a gooie plek vir informasie en vriende. Die Taal is a bit rusty these days! Tot siens! PS..I miss Castle Lager, Hunters Gold and Bunny Chow, LOL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melt16 0 #7 August 31, 2008 Thanks for all the wishes. I'm beginning to enjoy and relax on the plane ride up but when that door opens and you know its time I start stressing!! Hey Peej I'm jumping at SkyDiveKZN Cato Ridge. Michael is my instructor I guess you would know him? Did AFF lvl 4 last weekend and can't wait to the #5!!

Peej 0 #8 September 1, 2008 Congrats on your level 4 Ah cool, my folks live in Durbs but i've never been lucky enough to jump there or in Cato. I think Michael used to post here but i've never met him in person unfortunately. Take it easy Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
