How many of you have them? What do you have? got pics?

The snow....I'm moving somwhere warmer to jump! -20 didn't sit with me to well....

I wouldn't have jumped alone the first time. The two tandems I did definitely got me into the sport.

That is a malfunction I definitley want to stay away from.

Just called the DZ. I have to do a recurrency jump equivelent to a level 4 AFF, then I'm good to go.

Wish I could! It's been a cold one out here!

So I graduated AFF about 3 weeks ago and every time I've tried to get down to do a solo somethings come up. The week after christmas is gonna have to do. Are they going to make me do anything because of the time gap, or is it not a big deal? I was gonna do a coach jump first anyway just because it's been a month.

I bet that IS a sweet feeling!

yes, yes it is a nice pic.

Right on! I'm getting pumped already for mine on sunday. I bet that first solo is crazy!!

Just curious to why you have done so many tandems?

yes, yes you are chicken

Thanks Dave! Sure has bro, took alot longer than expected but hey made it through this part. I will for sure get ahold of you once I get it. Thanks again.

Just got off AFF, looking for a jumpsuit. I've been looking at the tony suits swoop suit the most. Are grips important right now? Any suggestions?

congrats bro. Were you in the picture that my sister took of all of us?

Thought I'd put a post out that after a while of bad weather and other factors I finally got off of AFF without a repeat. Thanks to Brady, Aaron, Dave & everybody at Mile-Hi for giving me the doorway to my dream. Blue Skies.

Get my A!

I did a tunnel course with some bad ass skydivers (Gary Beyer & Eliana Rodriguez) before AFF. haven't failed a level yet. (knock knock) level 7 on Sun.

should be a little south east of the landing area, unless they updated it since I last checked it out.

Actually that's pretty close to the average
