debussyschild 0 #1 October 20, 2008 Brand new to skydiving. Just went to Bridge Day 2008 in WV and if all goes well, might just jump it next fall! After my first jump this coming Saturday (FINALLY!!), I'm going to start AFF for my A-license."For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

debussyschild 0 #4 October 21, 2008 hey, thanks! bridge day was AWESOME. very well coordinated and sponsored and TELEVISED. this brings in so much positive publicity for a very misunderstood (but amazing) sport. a lot of whuffos were there and that's what i like to see... future skydivers! i played camera-girl for some other people from the skydiving club at Virginia Tech. three of them made their first base jump there. the other two guys just added to their number of base jumps. it was such a fun time, i met a lot of really nice people and even some people that are planning on going to the west point boogie. i may be making my first skydive this saturday, but i'm already counting down until i can safely make my first base jump! javascript:%20addTag('sly')"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
