    Whuffo

    Alot of skydiving sites I go to refer to people as a Whuffo. What is this? Does it just define someone who doesn't skydive??
  2. hell yeah man a friend of mine that was in the 82nd airborne in the 70's just went and did a tandem Fly on!
  3. I agree diablo, Damn skydiving and base jumping are about living not dying.
  4. your right plummeteer I had alot of friends say they really wanted to go but didn't "have the time or money" Even I knew the real reason. It's funny, I think if I never wanted to do it in the first place I would just say HELL NO!
  5. I would have a real hard time jumping out of a plane with a 20 dollar rig!!
  6. Hi Grendel, I have only had one tandem so far so I can only give you so much advice. From my experience all I can say is don't think about actually jumping out of the airplane too much. That's what I did and I made myself really nervous. The tandem masters will make you feel as comfortable as they can and remember all tandem masters are professionals. If your like me once you actually get out of the airplane you are going to feel something you have never felt before, pure freedom!! Have fun!!
  7. Hell yeah bro, alot of people think I'm crazy for wanting to go all the way with it, but I tell them they're crazy not to want to!
  8. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO RESPONDED! JUST HEARING THAT MANY ENCOURAGING REPLYS MAKES ME WANT TO GO DOWN TO MILE HIGH SKYDIVING RIGHT NOW! I'M GOING TO TAKE THE ADVICE AND JUST GO HANG OUT THERE BEFORE AND AFTER THE CLASSES.
  9. Thanks man, I can already feel it, I'm dreaming about it, thinking about it all the time!
  10. yep I'm not gonna give it up cause of the sally girls!
  11. just wanted to say hi, I just did my first tandem that I wanted to do for years and I loved it so much I want to take the aff course. All my friends that went tandem with me don't want to do it again so I'm having a little trouble just to go do it by myself. wish me luck. Tom from Colorado
