Nightingale 0 #1 September 23, 2003 I went on my first tandem jump on saturday 9/20/03. Before the jump, I figured it would be my only jump. I just wanted to be able to know that I'd done it at least once... however... when I landed, I decided I wanted to do AFF in January... and now, I'm thinking of doing AFF on October 5. I can't think about anything but that next jump. I'm completely obsessed!!!! is this normal?! -N- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymedic 0 #2 September 23, 2003 In a word... No.... considering most people just do the one tandem and never are seen again. now is it normal for a true skydiver...you bet it is!!!! at least that was my experience. to this day I still have no idea how people can only go on one skydive and never jump again...bizare Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

The cool thing about it is most people have that same feeling for years. After 750 jumps, I can't wait to make the next one.There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...

Rdy2skydive 0 #16 September 23, 2003 Yes. This is completely normal. Now you must immediately call your bank and arrange to have your paychecks and savings deposited into your dropzone's account. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
