Matitemel 0 #1 July 14, 2009 Hiya! I'm new in this forum, and also new in Australia! (from france) I love skydiving but I didn't really have the opportunity to practice it (and as everybody knows, it's very expensive!!). I did my first jump when I was ten years old in France and it was so goooood! I did 2 other ones when I was 15 and 18 ! :)Mélanie Check out my new website!!! :) www.greentimes.com.au or the page on FB Green Times !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slingerapie 0 #3 July 14, 2009 Was thinking the same thing... I wanted to jump since I was ten... didn't get to do it till i was 28th though. Welcome to the forums, hope you'll be able to jump some more, it's very addicting!! Don't try to live forever, you will not succeed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matitemel 0 #4 July 15, 2009 Hey!! Thanks a lot! :) Yeah actualy I jumped with my father's friend !! :) And you know, 12 years ago (I'm 22), it was much more easier!! We didn't have all those problems to jump...now you need to have a certain age, your ID...and a blue blue sky !!! I enjoyed so much and I took a video so it's a good souvenir!! :) So many people told me that I'm very lucky because we are not allowed normaly.. So what about you? :)Mélanie Check out my new website!!! :) www.greentimes.com.au or the page on FB Green Times !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slingerapie 0 #8 July 15, 2009 QuoteHi Sligerapie!!! Thks! Wouaou 28! Why didn't you do it before? Was it a dream for you?!! :) Yes, I've always wanted to jump since I saw jumpers on the DZ near my house. Even have a picture of me in a harnass that one of the jumpers was kind enough to put on me just for the fun of it :-) Just never got to do it. Since at least once a year I would say that I wanted to jump "some day", my bf gave me a tandem for my birthday two years ago. That was the beginning....

Matitemel 0 #11 July 16, 2009 hey Slingerapie! Such a good story :) So kind of your brother!! It's really probably the best gift that you could have in your life!!! :) You know I was used to help promoting and selling jumps and it is common to offer it as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries....and people don't regret it! They are always really happy! Yeah I guess that it must have been so good if it was a dream !!! :)Mélanie Check out my new website!!! :) www.greentimes.com.au or the page on FB Green Times !!!

mtbriles 0 #12 July 16, 2009 YES!!! I definetly want to progress through the sport. Thats the reason i chose AFF instead of tandem as my first jump. To help me start that much closer to getting my A liscense. BrilesWhy not? My direction in life is up...then down again REALLY REALLY FAST!!! Never take life too seriously.
