CanuckInUSA 0 #29 December 23, 2007 Quoteahh dont you have to have 500+ to be a tandem master?? 500+ jumps, three years in the sport, at least one cutaway on a sport rig, a coach rating, class 3 medical and much much more like passing all the tandem training.

The quickest way to make friends is to start converstations with people. Skydivers are easy, they love to talk about themselves.

kallend 1,621 #33 December 23, 2007 Quote1. Be alive on January 1, 2009. 2. Have no titanium and no more scars than I have now on January 1, 2009. 3. It'd be nice if all of my friends can say the same thing on January 1, 2009. Everything else is gravy. I buy into that as #1 priority. As for the gravy: Not get axed on any big ways. Go over 3 minutes with my wingsuit. Avoid any canopy collisions.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baksteen 84 #34 December 23, 2007 I know.. I guess everyone has that problem to a certain extent. I have found that a great way of meeting people is asking them how many jumps they got, or what they are jumping and why. Should keep you occupied for a few hours And you know you're always welcome at our DZ. ----- My skydiving goals: * get B-licence before my medical examination expires (September 1), which will save me 30-70 euros. * make 101 sk=kydives between jan 01 and dec 31 (I tried to have a hundred jumps before the end of this year too, but to my undescribable frustration I realised yesterday that I probably got stuck - at ninety-fucking-nine ) * Buy my own gear, probably a 190. * Try and stop neglecting my whuffo friends so much.

Rainbo 0 #40 December 24, 2007 Make it to '09 Watch all my friends make it to '09 My goal setting has waned over the years, but my desire to spend great time with my friends continues. I may not push that 300-400 jumps a years thing ever again but it does not mean I don't love it anymore. This year I want to do some track riding with my bike and am working on setting some things up now. I'm finding some great adrenaline on that machine so you'll just never know where and when I may show up.Rainbo TheSpeedTriple - Speed is everything "Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting."
