Lawrence 0 #1 November 24, 2001 Hi there, well just wanted to share my joy at starting skydiving. I'm only on level 4 AFF, but already hooked, got the rest of my levels and consol jumps in the next couple of weeks. I've never experienced such a surreal sense of freedom, does that ever end? Many many thanks to my great instructor Tomo at SkydiveAurora. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nimbus 0 #2 November 24, 2001 Hi Lawrence,welcome and congratulations! I'm stuck on Lvl 2 (no money & scaredy-cat blah blah) but I keep having skydiving dreams at least once a week... it's a fantastic feeling, isn't it? Good luck with the rest of your AFF and beyond... I'm hoping to do Lvl 3 in 2 weeks!!Larissa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bill2 0 #6 November 26, 2001 Congratulations on getting into this sport. I've only done 14 jumps, but each time I go I marvel at the fact that I can throw myself out of a plane at 14,000 and the sky now becomes my personal playground. It's an incredible feeling.
