waltappel 1 #26 October 27, 2006 Quote***I'm sure this is going to annoy some people but the reality is you're a hot chick with a beautiful smile and that makes you a lot more likely to get invited on loads that are beyond what you can do safely. Quote ....or sometime you may run into a guy who bugs the crap out of you to do CReW with him, and you end up doing it just to get him to shut up...then before you know it, your freefall time abruptly stops adding up, and you get used to landing OFF the DZ! Yeah, that *really* sucks, doesn't it? Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SmilingPhoenix 0 #27 October 27, 2006 Quote The DZO of my tiny cessna DZ at that time let me borrow a Rig so I could Jump. Damn, I didn't even think about a rig and mine is still on order with GravityGear. Well, I'm sure they'll have stuff to rent. I can't wait to get my own gear!!!!Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!

Also listen to what people are saying about knowing your limits. In the Air and on the Ground. I have waaaaay too many newbie female jumpers getting invited on jumps they have no business being on. Know when to say no thanks. (same applies to After Hours Partying). Lastly.. If you see some guy at a Boogie freely handing out Jello Shots, Keep an eye on him. He cant be trusted!!
