Coca Cola eh? I was thinking about a case of Smithwicks... it will be St. Patricks day after all

Start Skydiving Middletown Ohio

Taxes arrived... reservation confirmed... HERE WE GO

Man, reading about these hard openings causing spinal problems resulting in surgery are doing NOTHING for my confidence in enrolling in AFF. Anyway, good luck with the surgery and I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Grrrrrr my taxes still haven't been deposited yet. Sure are quick to take my money but slow as hell giving it back. I keep checking my account like a kid waiting for presents on Christmas night. The moment I see it there I'm reserving my spot :D

Hey jumpdude, are you in cincy too??

Pretty sound advice, thanks. I'll definitely keep you guys up to date. I got my state return today, soon as I get my federal return in the next few days I'm reserving my spot. Hopefully on the 17th. Wish me luck

Thanks for the info. I don't know why but static line just doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure it's fun I just don't see it being more fun than 14500 and almost a minute of free fall

Yeah, I'm really not looking forward to repeating any jumps, though I suppose it's probably inevitable. I've been reading up and watching videos, studying them if you will, on how they position their bodies and what they're doing to do maneuvers etc but I have a feeling none of that will matter and it will take actual air time to have any impact. I sure wish I could find some statistics on how many jumps are failed in AFF on average. Anyway, I originally planned on enrolling in the full A license course all 25 jumps and dive check but at $2,500 I wouldn't have it until probably June, so I figure why not do AFF while I have the cash then get the rest of the jumps in as I get the money. Seems pretty solid.

Middletown Ohio Their program is Thur-Sun but my work schedule is a bit different: Week 1 I'll be off sat/sun Week 2 I'll be off wed/sun Repeat So I can't quite get all my stuff in on one weekend, but they said they could accomodate doing 2 of the 4 days one weekend, then getting the rest done two weeks later.

Eagerly awaiting first jump course and the subsequent category jumps. If everything goes as planned I'll finally get my feet wet so to speak mid-March. Looking forward to making new friends and hopefully enjoying a new hobby.
