nygirl 0 #1 August 14, 2013 I did my first tandem jump and fell in love with the high and the peace at the same time. A month later I went for my 2nd jump with some friends and because of those white puffy things in the sky we couldn't jump.. I am really excited about taking lessons and would love to meet people in the so.cal area. I know I have so much to learn and can't wait to go again.

But its a great journey to learn how to jump and super addictive. Good luck and enjoy.

Welcome Nygirl, thanks for being instrumental in having the kid gone (you didn't do anything but show up, but I'll still give you credit). Don't worry a whole lot about the views at the DZ. You will be so focused on learning and doing that you really won't have time to appreciate them. Save that for after you are licensed. Right now, focus on learning.
