I am looking to buy a couple of DVD's with a variety of disciplines but definetly including , freestyle, basejumping and skysurfing. Any suggestions what to get and where to get them? Thanks. "Life Moves Pretty Fast, If You Don't Look Around Once In A While You Might Miss It!"

I was just reading a posting about helmet vs. Cypres, what is a Cypres? "Life Moves Pretty Fast, If You Don't Look Around Once In A While You Might Miss It!"

Thanks for the feedback. I am actually in NYC so if you have any suggestions that would be great. Also my previous post was actually meant as a multiple choice question, but thats cool, I think I've got my answer. Any help on the DZ or instructor would be great.

Ok so now you guys have totally lost me with all of the banter.... In layman terms what is my best bet. a- Find an Instructor with both T and AFF Instructor ratings that can manage my whole training, and incorporate 2 more tandem jumps at the beginning for hands on instruction b- Immediately start with AFF c - it doesn't matter, just work with what ever is available thanks guys.

Wow, alot of opinions out there, I guess the consensus is to do tandem progression in conjunction with AFF, while making sure my DZ programs are very well integrated, Sound About Right? I really appreciate everyones feedback here you all are awesome *** "Life Moves Pretty Fast, If You Don't Look Around Once In A While You Might Miss It!"

Ok, so now that i have done my first tandem jump, I wanted to see what dropzone.com folks thought about how I should approach my training. Should I do tandem progression or just jump right into AFF? Also is there a difference in the amount of time it takes to be licensed (not that I want to rush it, I want to be comfortable, very well trained and confident in my training. So, what do you think? Thanks. All Feedback Greatly Appreciated I don't really feel qualified to say it yet but out of genuine respect to everyone else on this site... ....Blue Skies! *** "Life Moves Pretty Fast, If You Don't Look Around Once In A While You Might Miss It!"

First, let me say I really appreciate everyone's feedback so far, it makes me feel much more comfortable. Second, it seems the essence of the skydiving community very closely resembles the vibe of the sk8boarding world in respect to the pure nature of the sport. And as I skate and know that one of the reasons I ever began skating was because of that energy, I am excited and eager to learn more. With that said, if anyone feels there is anything they can offer me as far as insight to the new world I have found in skydiving feel free to share it with me at your convenience. I am glad to understand the passion and look forward to Blue Skies. *** "Life Moves Pretty Fast, If You Don't Look Around Once In A While You Might Miss It!"

What up... I did my first tandem jump at Skydive Orange in VA this weekend and I am hooked. I can't stop reviewing in my mind the entire experience and am stoked on going again, especially the idea of going solo. I really want to do AFF so I can go on my own, but I must say I am nervous. I suppose what is really getting to me is the idea of a malfunction and the fact that until I learn to pack my own rig, I am relying on someone else to do it. Is this normal? Have most of you experienced the same level of apprehension when you first started out? How long did it last for you? what are some things you found useful to overcome these feelings? Any help will be greatly appreciated because I am really amped on being able to do this for the rest of my life. Thanks All.. -Todd *** "Life Moves Pretty Fast, If You Don't Look Around Once In A While You Might Miss It!"
