Technically speaking, ZZ Top. I think I was like 10 or something. The first concert I wanted to go to was Primus on the Tales from the Punch Bowl tour. I was like 14 or so. One of the best shows I've been to. A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras. Interdum at. Eget habitasse elementum est.

Umm... maybe we did meet? I was there most of the day Friday and Saturday. A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras. Interdum at. Eget habitasse elementum est.

Hey dude! Sorry I missed you on sunday, but I ended up using up all my jump money on friday and saturday. We'll meet up eventually for sure. A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras. Interdum at. Eget habitasse elementum est.

Hey there flygirl! Good to see you again as well! Ross graduated on Saturday so hopefully we'll be making it up to Davis before too long. Hope to see you again soon!

$50:6:1 50 to buy my friend his first solo after finishing AFF (congrats Ross!) 6 jumps total at Byron, one being my first hybrid (beer) with sbs. It was totally spur of the moment, getting on the plane, "wanna jump with me?" sorta thing. We exited with me holding onto his foot for dear life with both hands (when he told me to do this, I was thinking "how is that going to work?"). I did my best to get stable on my belly with my feet as he went head down. Add a barrel roll and a dock, and WOW was it fun. Good times! Thanks again Steve! I also downsized to a Nav 220, which is quite enjoyable compared to the 260. Also tried a Falcon 215 (not quite as zippy as the Nav 220). A bit of tracking work, and a bit of leg turn practice, and voila!, a very enjoyable t-day weekend at the DZ.

Hey! Another newbie jumper with a GS! I've got an '83 750 myself. I'm looking at grabbing a katana off of a friend. A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras. Interdum at. Eget habitasse elementum est.

Seriously, I spend most of my day thinking about skydiving. Going out tomorrow, WHEEEEE! A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras. Interdum at. Eget habitasse elementum est.

Suggestions? 1. Relax. 2. Arch like you mean it. 3. Have fun 3. Start saving money now for gear/jumps later A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras. Interdum at. Eget habitasse elementum est.

A little disgust can be good thing, in the "not gonna take sh*t from myself" sorta way, ie: not being content with mediocracy. Just as long as you know where to draw the line. You can *always* do better. The important thing is that you're making progress *** I will NOT give this up until someone at the dz tells me that I am *BOB*, aka "Better off Bowling", and maybe not then That's what I'm talkin' about!

Dude, excellent! I totally know how you feel; I just finished AFF and find myself feeling like the skydiving world is my oyster, waiting to be shucked. Congratulations!

Don't be so hard on yourself man! From what you say, you're making progress which is what matters. And as far as "not being cut out for this", keep in mind that freefall is a pretty un-natural thing for humans to do. After botching level 4 twice I was thinking about saying "screw it" and going back to being a land lubber, but I decided to stick with it, and I did make it through AFF. If you have the balls to keep going after an injury and several failed attempts at level one, I'm sure you'll do just fine in the long run. Keep with it!

I'm done with AFF! I passed level 8 on saturday and shortly there after did my first solo jump (flared high ). Much thanks to the staff and regulars at Byron. I'd especially like to thank my instructors Roy, Gareth, Vic, Randy, MadJohn, and Aaron. It's awesome to finally be able to go solo, though I recognize that I have a TON of stuff to learn. It's a pretty sweet feeling to know that I'm at a point where I have tons of stuff to learn and get better at, and also the (admittedly small) skill set to get me on the path to learning it. Hopefully the weather will stay decent enough that I'll be able to whittle away at my A license over the next few months. Blue Skies!

if I'm doing this right: 0:2:2 Two jumps, AFF level 8 (passed! weeee!) and my first solo jump. I figure 1 case of beer for graduating and one for my first solo. Edit: Ok, the first number is humps, but WTF is a hump? A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras. Interdum at. Eget habitasse elementum est.

Boycott soda, and take the stairs whenever possible. Walk places within a few miles. If you're feeling adventureous, replace your car with a bike whenever possible. Eat more veggies and less meat/cheese/greasy stuff. Eat less in general. Try and notice if you're eating because you're hungry or because you're fulfilling a craving. I try and to all the above and I hover around 10 pounds less than I was beforehand. I could easily loose more if I started getting on the bike as much as I like to talk about. My number one suggestion would be giving up soda. A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras. Interdum at. Eget habitasse elementum est.
