Shadowplay 0 #51 September 27, 2003 For seven years I mentioned to most of my friends that I wanted to try to skydive. Everytime they backed out. Finally I got up the skill AND the cash to do it and I decided it didn't matter if I had someone to do it with anyway. This weekend I'll hopefully be successfully completing my level 7 AFF jump. It's been great and I don't think it would have been any funner if I would have done it with someone. I've met some great people and I wouldn't have it any differently. DO IT NOW!!!!

Racenic 0 #52 September 27, 2003 Hi Kris, Welcome to skydiving!! You should go out to Perris on Saturday just to watch and learn if you plan on doing AFF. There is a lot going on this weekend. I'll be there, so if you see a guy with a black and gray goatee come up and say Hi!

suz 0 #56 September 28, 2003 Hey it looked like you had a ball on your first tandem! Schweet website too, by the way! I never had any freefall photo's of my very first jump, so it was good to see yours. About AFF, chill babe. You'll be way too busy enjoying the thrill to worry about being alone. From reading through the thread, it looks like you'll fit in quite fine. I live all the way over in Australia. Although there's a few other Aussies who roam around dz.com, no many live up north where I am! But I get by quite fine. You'll have a blast Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #58 October 10, 2003 Hey Kris It looks like this thread has some life in it and I was just a little curious to see how your jumps are coming. Your current profile reads 1 tandem and 1 AFF. So we've got to assume that you did your level 1 and maybe more? How'd it go? Any plans for future jumps? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
