African American Skydivers
manyquestions replied to dzolloyd's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I hate it when people say "African Americans" out of fear of being called racist. Be honest: how many of us here go around saying "black people" instead of "African Americans"? *raises hand* If I ever use that term in front of my black friends they look at me like a moron. And as for the actual technical correctness of the term, it actually is right. When someone says ________ American, they say it because they themselves were born in America, but their ancestors weren't. I'm Italian American. I was born here (my parents too) but my grandparents in Italy. -

Yes, I've already asked about my age while talking to a secretary on the phone. I'm paying $175 for the jump and $30 for gear. It seems pretty steep. BTW, are there restrictions for getting a license? -

I've always been interested in extreme sports, but I've never tried skydiving (my mother wouldn't let me). But this year I'm serious about it. I got my own job and I'm going to pay for my lessons by myself, and my dad is going to be the one driving me to the center. Do you guys have any advice for my first jump? Oh, and PS- I'm afraid of heights, lol. Good way to get rid of my fear?
