Welcome to the wonderful world of skydiving. You are right about the atmosphere. I started back in September and from day one you realize how different it is down there. Like my DZO has said many times. "You work with people on the weekends that in normal life you probably have nothing in common with." Enjoy and be safe. Patrick

I've only been in the sport since September so my packing skills are still in their refinement stages. But i can pack my main in around 7 mins and a tandem in about 15-20. The tandems are relative workshop. Patrick

I'm still pretty new to the sport. I started in September and have packed from as soon as i could. I think it was like jump 13 or so. Now i'm up to jump 37 and pack for my DZ. I had the winter of course to work on my technique and get my speed down.

ACtually i did it the old fashion way. Good old static line progression. I graduated long before i did my graduation dive. But all good. Later Patrick

I know all of you out there at one time were a student. We all have gone through the process in some way or another. I just wanted to take this moment and thank all of those out there who are helpful to students like myself. Taking the time to work with us so that we can become a better and safer skydiver. I recently made my graduation dive. It went great and it was on the sunset load. And now tomorrow i hit another graduation. I am finished with college and move on to better things. In fact all my excitement about the sport has convinced my mom to come down and make her first tandem. Once again thank you to all who helped make the sport what it is today.. Patrick
