  1. Well got my first tandem in and it was way more intense then i ever imagined it would be.... i start my classes this saturdya morning on my way to becoming a licensed skydiver ! im hooked !!!
  2. Where can I find a log book to track my jumps ???? I am sure there must be one specific to skydiving out there right ???
  3. I do what I can , thanks for the warm welcome, sofar the weather man says clear skys for tomorrow so as of now we are still on for 5pm, I cant wait !!!
  4. ok so i used the search function which wasnt working from my home computer ??? and found the glossary in the safety section so i guess i answered my own question !
  5. hey guys im very very new to the sport and am trying to read alot of posts and learn as much as i can in addition to scheduling regular jumps but i noticed as with any other sport around there are alot of sport specific terms and acronyms being flung around.... is there a special place or thread around that you guys know of that you can point me to to brush up on my hop n' pops, cut aways, RSL's, risers, etc... ? any and all help is greatly appreciated... thanks guys and gals
  6. basics first, hey all im mike from duryea, pa (2hrs north of philly), 28y/o and into sportbikes, snow skiing, wake boarding, and jet skiing. i figured it was about time to add skydiving to the list so i did some research and found www.skydiveems.com about 30 minutes from my house so i made some calls and scheduled myself, my girlfriend, and my sister all to do tandum jumps on saturday (oct 9th) at 2pm, we arrived at the site and did out paperwork and such but they were waiting for some cloud cover to clear so we chilled out for a bit and got to know some people... anyway long story short there are only 2 tandum chutes available this day so i let the two girls go up first since neither wanted to be alone so they jumped and i was incredibly excited for my turn.... upon landing and getting things back in order, chutes repacked, etc... all the clouds moved in and the wind picked up so they called off the rest of the jumps and asked me to come back up on sunday morning at 11am, i was going nuts listening to there stories all the way home and all night for that matter stuck living my jump vicariously thru them, low and behold they are both hooked and scheduled more jumps already... jump to sunday morning i wake up at 9 and all looks well outside, about 10 we start to head out to the DZ when the skys darken, we arrive at the DZ at the exact time the rain did, dammit... reschedule til wed at 5pm due to my work commitments.... everyone is now telling me its an omen and to not jump, thank god im not superstitious, i cant wait.. as a matter of fact i too has scheduled my next jump for the end of this month based solely on there excitement level... i cant wait, its like being 10 again and trying to sleep on x-mas night...
