I'm looking for a ride out to Carolina Sky Sports this weekend. The weather looks like it'll be awesome and I don't want to miss out! Is there anyone in the Chapel Hill area who can give me a ride? The best things in life are dangerous.

I was nervous on my first jump too. I think it's just the fear of the unknown, kind of like the first time you drive a car (well, not quite, but you know what I mean). I think the thing that helped me the most was doing "dirt dives" with the instructors several times on the ground before we ever even got into the plane. By doing that, everything became automatic after we exited, and we had a great skydive. As others have told you in this thread, don't forget to SMILE and give a big thumbs up after your done with your practice touches and other procedures, and HAVE FUN!!! I'm working on my A license and I still get nervous on every jump, but now it's more from a desire to do everything correctly and safely to pass on to the next level. Enjoy it, 'cause nothing beats that first jump high! The best things in life are dangerous.

Jumping through the "industrial haze" definitely wasn't on purpose, but it was cool, though! The best things in life are dangerous.

On my 7th ever jump this past weekend, I had to help spot the DZ with an instructor. As I looked out, I noticed a bunch of sparkles like glitter going past at about 100 ft. down from the airplane. When we jumped, I found out pretty quick that it was a cloud of ice crystals. As we neared pull altitude, we punched through another cloud as well (my first time!). Just for the scenery, this was the most amazing jump I've had so far, and I was wondering what everyone's coolest weather/cloud jump was. -Matt The best things in life are dangerous.

Hey everyone. Newbie here from North Carolina with 11 jumps, working my way up to my A license. Even though it's still early to be thinking about it, I think I'd eventually like to get into relative work and free-flying at some point. Right now, though, I'm having a great time learning to fly!!! The best things in life are dangerous.

I'll be out there Saturday, hopefully getting 3-4 jumps in. The best things in life are dangerous.
