I did my second tandem yesterday and had a ton of pressure over my right sinuses... eye, ear and mouth. It really hurt. I didn't have this my first tandem. It took a few hours for my ear to finally pop. I really want to move on to my AFF but I'm thinking that I might need to see a dr first. Besides the sinus issue the jump was awesome. He said I did a great job with my awareness, pull and canopy control. I wonder if he tells everyone that :)

I posted here last year about my first jump, which was awesome. I have been waiting to go again but for many reasons it just hasn't worked out. One of those reasons being I broke my leg and had to have surgery to fix it. So my question is I am about 9 weeks out and am already walking unassisted. I am wondering if I can jump in Sept with this hardware in my leg. I will of course ask my surgeon but I don't think he will like the idea. Oh, it will be a tandem jump :) Thanks

We have huge windows in the back of our house and today a bird crashed into the windows. When I went outside to check on the bird I saw another one alive just laying there. So I now have two birds suffering out back. What should I do?

My poor hubby landed wrong in taekwondo and ended up in the ER. As you can see in the xray his bone was sticking out. It was luckily just dislocated and only needed 30 stitches. He's on some good drugs and antibiotics now.

I lived in Chambersburg, PA when I was 10. I remember watching the skydivers coming down above our house and still have photos of them. So cool!

Awesome! How much ground instruction did you get before jumping?

He asked if I was ready and I said no, lol... didn't really matter.

What a cutie

I'm sorry. I hope you get to jump on Tuesday.

oh my

I totally am.

I just did my first jump yesterday. I didn't have the stomach feeling either. I did feel sick after it was all done... my legs felt a little weak. I have no regrets in doing it. Go for it!

He let me steer the canopy which was so much fun. He showed me how to turn and all. It felt extremely hard to pull down on the turns though. He said it was because it was so big and that I would be able to control a smaller one easier... I am 5'3... 115lbs. I can't wait to go again

Should I do another tandem then move on to the aff? What exactly does the aff involve, training and jump? Another question... when we landed yesterday we landed perfectly standing up on the asphalt and not on the grass like the rest, everyone screamed beer. Why??

I will tonight... Promise... Still taking it all in!

Coolest thing I've ever done! So fun!!!

Good thing I have taekwondo this morning or I would be going nuts. I will update you all tonight. Thanks for the support

I am jumping from Skydive Ogden. I am supposed to be there at 4 and the lady said it would take half a day. Is that true?

I am hoping that I am a bit delayed tomorrow so I can jump close to dusk since it's my favorite time of day. Do you have a favorite time?

I am too excited to let it stop me... I wish I could go today... so pretty out. This is all I can think about.

You are totally right which is why I am still going to make the dive even without her there. I am too excited not to jump and it's not like she would jump with me at the same time or anything. My family will be there though. I have a husband and 2 kiddos :)

She backed out on me this evening. So looks like I will be doing my first jump alone... well with a person strapped to my back.

I am making my first tandem jump this Saturday. What does the freefall feel like? Also, what safety things should I watch for?

Thanks. I will def. buy the video and pics. The date just changed on me... we are going this Saturday at 4pm. I am excited and very nervous. How long does the pre-jump stuff normally last?
