  4. I love logging! I look forward to it when I get down from a jump. But I'm weird :)
    But yeah I can see where it can be frustrating if you've lost your logbook and a new dz won't let you jump. Although if there's no way to prove that you're a current jumper than I can't really blame them.

    We get paid to do coach jumps at my dz but that's not the reason I decided to be a coach. I like working with students and the feeling that someone trusts and looks up to you. I had an awesome coach who has been jumping for over 50 years and I wanted to spread the knowledge I learned from him to future skydivers....Plus, what can beat the feeling of excitment a student has when they pass a level they had been struggling with? :)



    A Blow Job?


    Ha I should have known that was coming!

  7. I don't think they're stressed enough! My first static line (4th jump, previous 3 were tandems) I neglected to PLF and ended up spraining my wrist and ankle. I practiced my PLFs in class but freaked out on landing so I probably could have used more practice.

    If you ever have taken Luigi Cani's canopy course one of the first thing he does is demonstrate a proper PLF and make the whole class do them....if an expert canopy pilot is teaching PLFs to experienced jumpers, it just seems like PLFs aren't something to just skim over. My opinion.

  10. I was nervous but not as much as I thought I'd be. I was the last student to jump that day so by then my nerves had pretty much settled. I was actually more nervous my 2nd and 3rd jump than my first!...and my first 3 jumps were all tandems!

  14. You should try sleeping pills...they've been my best friend lately. I've taken Vicodin, Tylenol pm, Unisom, and melatonin supplements to try to fall asleep and actually what seems to work best for me is the melatonin. But what works for you might be different. Good luck!...i know not being able to fall asleep sucks [:/]

  15. Definitely! Valentine's day is stupid....you shouldn't feel pressured to do something nice and loving on a certain day. If the relationship is good it should happen regardless of the holiday or not. I've never had anyone to celebrate Valentine's day with so maybe my opinion will change once i do...many years from now...but I say celebrate both occasions together. The way I see it is its less stressing on how to celebrate/what to give if you combine the 2!!
