samblack 0 #1 December 17, 2013 Hi Everyone! I just wanted to say hello. I'm excited about entering the sport! I just finished AFF last week down in Deland, FL and on my graduation jump I even got a line over and had my first cut-away. I was the talk of the DZ all day :) Cheers, and I'll see you in the skies! -Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #3 December 18, 2013 Welcome to the forums! DeLand is my home dz, I hope we get a chance to jump together soon. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samblack 0 #4 December 19, 2013 Thanks! Yeah I saved myself, but really I give the credit to Trevor for being a really good instructor ;) When he first went over emergency procedures and we put on those silly vests, he literally grabbed me from behind and started throwing me around in circles... basically exactly what happened to me in the sky, so I was well prepared. You bet I bought beer! Heh, the guys wouldn't even let me buy it the next day... got them two cases just to be sure! I'm based in Massachusetts right now, but I'm thinking of moving to Orlando, so I should be down there quite a bit in the coming months. Hopefully we can take a few jumps together!
