very nice info!

Now I need a girl and family that will approve my new hobby

Does the forward momentum alter the way that the cute is deployed? Do you have to stop gliding and fall straight down to deploy?

I have been to their location and website. I am looking at a program that they offer that will certify me with an "A" license for roughly 2g’s. (Ouch!!! any thoughts?)

My goal is to become an experienced wing suit flyer. But, I have been reading that you need to feel more than comfortable with regular skydiving before you can strap up in a wing suit. Can someone offer a timeframe or number of jumps before you felt comfortable with jumping before you jumped with wings? I know that this differs from person to person, but I want to get an idea.

I am dreaming about getting back up there. I literally have been dreaming about jumping for the past 3 nights.

Thanks Jay!

I am looking for an experienced flyer that will be able to help me improve my skills.

I live in AZ and have little experience. I went on my first tandem 4 days ago. I know that is takes time to learn the intricacies of this sport. That is why I am searching for a crusty veteran

A little about me:

-Male
-6’3”, 200lbs
-25 years old
-Physically fit
-Willing to learn
-Fascinated by the dedication and respect that you must give this sport.
-Out of all the different specialties I would like to focus on tracking/birdin' it (wing suit baby!)
-Enjoy Beer

If you or a friend would like to pass down your knowledge please post back or PM and I would like to meet you.

I am new to the game and it seems like everyone uses acronyms to describe events, equipment, etc. Would someone mind helping me out with this?

thank you

Other than base and skydiving what other areas are there to explore?

As for gear. I am a gear whore. I like all the cool new toys to get

I am going to need some help with this. How does AFF work. What do I need to complete for jumping solo?

Hey Guys,

I went skydiving for the first time in my life yesterday. I was instantly hooked as I assume all you are too. I jumped tandem with a really cool guy who taught me a lot. I know that these forums hold a wealth of information you just need to search for it, but I like posting. I feel that it will give me a better understanding of the people on here:)

I have a couple questions if anyone wants to chime in.

My next goal is to jump solo. The facility near me has a tunnel. I feel that with adequate practice I will be more comfortable in the air my first time. What do you suggest for proper experience before you jump solo? Tunnel or tandem again?

Second, is I am looking into a sweet jump suit or pant jacket combo. I would like something that is good for skydiving and will work equally as well for base jumping. Should I buy or rent.

I am glad to be a member of this forum and look forward to meeting you all.
