yes, it's true, i have been stalking dz.com and i have finally worked up the courage to introduce myself. i am another newby at KSUPC (only 6 jumps). i have come to be known there as manifest, burger, and packing bitch. hey, what can i say? i am helpful. how where you introduced to this sport, you may ask. well, i have always wanted to make at least one tandem, mark it off of my list "to do before i die" and move on to the next crazy idea. well, i had such a blast that i knew i wanted to take a class and continue jumping. if it wasn't for kansasskydiver helping me out, i might have backed out and always wished that i had jumped more. i have to say if it wasn't for the support of the club i probably would have given up. thanks guys for encouraging me and helping me out! ~myownway "if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space"
