AeroFreak 0 #1 October 3, 2008 I did a jump two weeks ago at SkyDive Utah. I won't say what number it was for me but I'll tell ya I'm doin' my second jump next weekend. I'm absofreakinlutely addicted. All I have done for the last 2 weeks is downloaded vids and read articles and dreamed of skydiving. Number 2 is going to be even better than the last but I can't wait to get going on AFF! My biggest problem-same as every other beginner's-$$Mula$$!!! But I'm ready to do whatever I've got to to get up again and again! Can't wait to get to know all you crazy freaks out there who find it more enjoyable to fly without the plane! Peace and Blue Skies to you all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zaofan 0 #4 October 3, 2008 Hah! I felt the SAME way! I have one jump under my belt, but another two have been bought already, and I'm definately getting ready to start AFF as well. I was supposed to jump last Sat., but no one paid the good weather bill. Low clouds as far as the eye could see. I waited around the DZ for about 6 hours before finally bailing. Can't wait to go again though. Welcome to the forums! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AeroFreak 0 #5 October 3, 2008 Bummer! Sorry to hear about Saturday! Better luck next time! I'll be jumping in a week, thanks for the reminder to pay my good weather bill. May your next jump be even more thrilling than the last! **Blue Skies my friend** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millertime24 8 #6 October 3, 2008 Welcome. Skydive Utah is truely a wonderfull place. Oh and you dont actually start a beer debt until after student status. Then just plan on bringing a case everytime you come out until 200 or so jumps. Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_music11 0 #7 October 4, 2008 Yes, yes, yes... another addicted mortal! Welcome to the wonderfull world of skydiving... yeah.. if you're bitten bad by that ole' jumpin' bug like me.. you wont come down from your initial jumping for say.....2/3 years! at least! blue skies.. good luck in your training! If flying is piloting a plane.. then swimming is driving a boat. I know why birds sing.. I skydive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
