I have health insurance, but wonder about catastrophic injuries though. I'm not sure of my limits. "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

There were times during AFF and after when I was only doing one jump a month. Nothing about the sport is inexpensive. Doing some sort of recurrency jump shouldn't stop you from coming back.

Congratulations!

You should be scared... but you'll have a blast, too. Let us know how your AFF goes. -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

Like Skymama says, stay in touch through this forum. Maybe you can skydive overseas? There are drop zones all over the world. "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

Anyone near O.C. who is looking to adopt a dog? Duke is in immediate need of a good home. He is a healthy, 5-6 year old toffee colored Cocker Spaniel (he is considered a small dog), indoor trained with up to date shots (records available), and is free of fleas. Duke is very friendly and loveable but needs a new good home. His owners are moving out of state and are unable to take him. If you are interested in adopting Duke, please pm me. Serious inquires only please. His owners are moving in several weeks. I would be happy to answer any questions about Duke. I'm going to try to get a pic to post later. Thanks everyone!

Could just be some sort of scam to get money. I'm all about meeting people online. I have had good experiences and met my current boyfriend from an online dating site, but if this ad is for real I think it's a sad situation. Both parties have children but are going to meet someone 2400 miles away? So, if they do like each other and want to be together, one of the two is going to uproot his or her kids and move 2400 miles. That ain't right, IMHO.

Hey that's a cool song. Thanks.

Thanks. I didn't think it was hilarious, but funny, but I especially liked "my mouth is so dwy" "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

I agree. I was very disappointed the first and only time I had Outback. "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

Most of the skydiving ads are peculiar, but I guess like most ads, the weirder they are the more you remember. But the crater? Haven't seen it, but the concept is distasteful.

My boss handed me this postcard advertisement when he came back from the PO Box with today's mail. "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

Beers at the BombShelter (Perris) are only $2.50... at least the Bud Light anyway "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

2: Did my first licensed jumps... tried a 3-way, but the two guys I was with blew right past me. Guess I need to add weights to my shopping list "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

AINT i THOUGH??? Speaking of , Are you going to join us Chele??? Hey you, Thanks for asking. I know I said I probably would come out. I sure would love to, but I don't think I can afford it now that I'm buying all my gear. Even if I crank out the jumps over the next month, I also worry about my experience level. I think my answer is probably next year. You be careful out there and have a blast. -Michele p.s. Dude, send me a tee-shirt . j/k "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

How frightening. I'm glad you're ok. Feel better soon!! "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

It's become a non-post. "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

You so crazy! LMAO "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

If you zoom in on that Perris one, it looks like you can seem some canopies coming down.

Now those pics are just creepy. "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

OK, how do I get that price? I just paid $117 for 10 minutes. No doubt. That's what I was thinking! "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

This is the position I'm most comfortable and it seems to be a good way to get stable. Hop out like a frog and put your belly to the relative wind. I did my first hop 'n pop this way.

Your teacher is tired of reading those topics, too . And I disagree that they're easier. It's very difficult to persuade someone to change his or her opinion on those aforementioned issues. I think writing about skydiving would be fun. But a persuasive essay? Hmm. Perhaps chose one or more controversial issues within skydiving, such as the use of particular equipment. Research about it and write it. Don't think of your audience as your teacher, but a fellow skydiver. -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

Well, at least you've got the PLF down. There's a few times when I should have PLF'd but ended up coming in sliding on my belly. Not so fun to get dirt up the nose . Anyway, I had a few good landings before my 20s, but it wasn't until recently when I've been able to land consistently on my feet. I think a few factors were involved. One, early on I was afraid to move the toggles too much on landing for fear of low turns, but this only worked against me. I took my pilot friend's advice about how landing a canopy is just like landing a plane. You need to make constant little adjustments (nothing below the ears). Also, I started using the canopy rentals as opposed to the student canopies. They fly faster which is better for flaring. They seem to flare considerably easier. Finally, there was a mental component for me. On earlier jumps instead of flaring completely, I was stopping short, fearing the ground, and sort of bracing for the fall. Maybe you are doing this, too? It took me a while to get over this, to have confidence and trust myself to flare fully and fly the canopy until my feet are on the ground. You'll get it, too! -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
