New Jumper from Oregon

[atoggs 0]

Hello All! Wanted to say Hi and happy to be apart of the community! I did my first tandem jump on 3/9 and then did another on 3/24. I loooove it! Prolly going to start AFF soon with a friend. Looking forward to learning more about this sport and making new friends. :)

I've already starting reading the uspa.org website and learning all the hand signals so when I watch videos I can understand what's being told to the student. I'm a visual learner so watching videos helps me alot!

Welcome to skydiving!
Who did you make your tandems with?

Thanks! Can't seem to get enough of this. Always reading and watching videos about skydiving. :)

First was Joeith (sp?)... and the 2nd was Rocky. My first jump I got on video. I asked for raw footage. I made a short video of my first jump. You can see it here:
