You work for Free? It still cost you something.


I only saw two people who used rental gear. Where are the rest? I know some people buy new gear vquickly but I thought more newer jumpers rented.

and you all forgot to add the $20 license fee

I started Jumping within a few weeks of quiting smoking. My budget didnt change much, but I only didone jumped every three weeks ish due to living 350 miles from the DZ..

hehe

nice thread. something to look forward to for us newbies anyway. i've spent about a grand to do half my AFF and then stop. starting again in a couple of weeks.

what i was mainly posting for is to ask why i haven't seen some of you add beer purchases??? i thought this was a real tradition in skydiving hum?

It is $20 for the license fee, but also $49 for the year membership.

It didn't cost me anything, I traded labor for a jump.
