  1. You made we want to check out a porn name generator. Angel Buttocks is what came up first . I like that one, although through the traditional method my porn name would be Michele Caspers.

  2. As a newbie, please be patient with my question. In AFF1 I learned which risers to use for steering if two canopies are attached (side by side or front and back); I'm sure they told us this, but I'm not 100% clear. If you find yourself in this situation you can steer the landing pattern, but since there is no way to flare, you are forced to take a hard landing? Does having two canopies out slow you down more than one?

    Jello?

    How is it with vodka? Watermelon with vodka makes great jello shooters. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  4. LOL. Thanks for all of the good advice guys. At least I know I'm normal, well, relatively speaking as far as skydiving is concerned. It makes a lot of sense: If I wasn't scared I would be endangering myself and those around me. The fear factor keeps me on my toes and not to mention kicks in the afterbuzz.
  5. After my first tandem five weeks ago, I completed level one last Monday and will do two on Saturday. I felt pretty good about level one, and I'm excited about two, yet, I'm feeling simultaneously scared, dreaming a lot about it, etc. I'm feeling like, okay, jumping once or twice is one thing, but to keep it going is like tempting fate. Regardless, the desire to go is stronger! Has this mixed up fear been a similar experience for others? I'm sure it will subside with more jumps, but I'd like to know I'm not alone.

  6. Cool. I just did level one last Monday and two will be on Saturday. In fact, I will be taking my second flight in a small plane to the Dropzone. Yikes, is this really tempting fate?? I'm a little nervous about two, but still I can't wait, and like you I'm spending money I don't have to skydive. How could you not? Happy flying to you.
  7. Hey Steve, I just did AFF 1 on Monday and my first tandem a month before that over at Perris Valley. Everyone there was really cool and friendly. You won't chicken out! After knowing what to expect from the tandem you'll be ready to move on. That's how I feel, and now that I know the experience from level 1 I'm ready to move on and learn more and improve my jumps. -Michele "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  8. Thanks for the support guys. I didn't smile at the camera as much cos I was more concerned with remembering what to do... and I remembered mostly everything... except I forgot to look at the second instructor completely. OMG! My landing was a little off target and... a little dirty, but safe and happy. The beer after the long day was well deserved! I can't wait to go again!
  9. My first tandem jump was last month... and tomorrow I am doing my level 1 jump. I don't know if I'll sleep tonight. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I can't wait!

  10. Hey Bryce, thanks a lot for the info. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  11. In the incident forum, there appears to be a lot of controversy on the use of RSL. As a newbie about to start AFF after my first tandem, I am trying to collect as much information as possible. Would someone kindly expain RSL? Thanks!!
  12. That's my fear... having to cut away so soon in the game, but you did it! Spectacular for you. That gives me confidence. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  13. I jumped at Perris Valley. Thanks for the info about Elsinore. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  14. Hello everyone. I jumped tandem for the first time recently... and loved it. I plan on doing my AFF Level One jump very soon and would like to finish out the skydiving school. Skydiving has me more excited that almost anything ever has in my life. It's so cool!
