    Some people don't finish AFF.
    Some people never get their license.
    Some people get their license and drift away soon after.
    Some people jump for a year or two and then disappear.

     

    Some do it until they decide to become 'responsible' and quit. That may be their own decision or they may have 'help' with it.

    Some jump until they realize how much time & money it takes to stay current and reasonably safe, or to progress beyond 'sorta good'.
    Some jump until they get hurt, or see someone they know get hurt or killed. The danger isn't 'real' until then. So they quit.
    Some become Tandem Instructors (or packers or even DZOs), then get burned out by the grind. 

    Of course, some of us keep on despite all of the above and refuse to quit. 

    I think you canT say it any better... its like that.. you just never know what happens in your life, things that are in your control and things that arent.. ill love to skydive till im 100.. but you just never know man! while youre doing it make sure to have fun and be safe and youll have a great time! ENJOY!

  3. Hi everyone, im on my course right now.. only have done my first 3 jumps on static line, and i was wondering what gear would you guys recomend? what Main, reserve, etc..
    most people at the DZ have told me its best to buy used at the begining of my skydiving career because id be changing that after a few jumps.

    If you have a place i could see used for sale gear please direct me to it!

    much love and thanks!
    blue skies!

  8. i think it was a great choice.. now that i am just starting i want to apply what i need to do more than what i wanna do.. its the life changer.. remember most accidents are because of human error.. and choice is what makes us have errors at certain times

    Excellent! Good luck in your training! I think you're less likely to experience motion sickness when you're in control of the canopy, and students don't perform any extreme maneuvers that could cause that problem on a tandem jump.



    Yeah i really hope i dont get sick.. lol would suck being there by myself and feeling like that.. anyways thanks alot i really hope i start jumping asap.. i will post new pics and vids of my future training jumps..

  11. Hi everyone here on the forums. finally after months of reading this forum i made myself an account. So ill tell you a little about myself..

    My name is Mathias im 20yrs old and ive been in love with skydiving and base jumping for the past couple of years and at some point decided it was the sport for me..
    So last year i made my first jump at what i belive is the mayor dropzone in Uruguay.. i chose my tandem instructor wisely.. ive been following his tandem jump videos for a long time and actually got friends to jump with him before i did.. lol..
    Anyways just as i expected during the jump skydive is a sport for me.. (though i almost threw up just before landing..).

    if you are interested heres the video..

    So here i am in 2014.. couple months after my tandem jump and cant wait to start my course and be on my way to a succesful A license. my plan is to start in April. so yeah.. hope to hear from the great people of this forum soon and youll hear from me :D

    regards,
    Mathias
