i can't wait!!!"Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
www.skydivethefarm.com is about 45 minutes outside atlanta. it is where i did my training. our dzo offers an A-license package for 1899. it is 25 jumps including aff, coach jumps, gear rental, pack jobs, etc. all you have to do is show up.
the dz is a 55 acre farm with plenty of shade to camp under. we also have two ponds. the farm has a really great vibe too, ask around!
good luck and blue skies"Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -

it happened to me as well. i knew before my butt hit the ground on my first tandem that i would never be able to get enough.

not 100% but i think he is going to be cremated in Hawaii, then his remains will be brought to the Farm for an ash dive. i'll know more after the weekend."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -

Someone needs to make a snag proof box for these fuckin little "harmless" cameras!

dont get discouraged, you just have to get at it until it clicks."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -

*Not giving you advice*
i had the same problem. it took my too wraps to stall my canopy. i had the brake lines shortened by 4 inches and now she flares amazingly good. i still have to be careful because it is basically a brand new canopy to me."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
manufacturer- 500 jumps

QuoteMaybe you can learn to dub video and pick up some spare change.
this is what i do. i do not have the experience to jump a camera yet. it helps pay for jumps. when the time comes that i can jump a camera i'll already know the theory and the equipment."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
video is nice, but not a must. i would go to whichever dz i planned on doing the most jumping at."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
listen to the real people where you skydive at, not someone on the internet. you never unlearn, you just gotta learn who to learn from.

one day, a long time from now, i would like to get into it."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
"hooked for life" might not be the best choice of words, but good luck and blue skies

10 minutes is ten more minutes than most skydivers get before AFF.
Just make sure you tell them that you are planning on doing AFF so they tailor it to that."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
QuoteI have 42 hours of youtube time... I think I'll downsize?

i would say it is helpful as long as you know what you are watching. you need to have the right context for it to be helpful."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
just remember to smile and relax, you are doing this because it is fun

in General Skydiving Discussions
as you can see from all the post above, anyone who has any experience with the farm recommends it.
the rental and student gear is well maintained and trustworthy. i would let anyone in my family use their stuff. my uncle and cousin are actually coming out this weekend to do tandems.
the instructor staff is top notch and on top of their game (and yours)!
as popsjumper said, we have an awesome airplane that is well maintained, and in this sport that goes a long way.
the lz is 55 acres so there is plenty of room to land away from traffic.
and i do work there editing videos, but that isn't why i recommended it. i work that job because i love the farm and had to figure out a way to spend more time there and make some jump money
i started jumping at the farm when i was 21 and just out of college.so i was really broke. hans, the dzo, makes it as affordable as he can because he cares about making safe and competent skydivers. that is evident with the amount of fun jumpers we have.
when you get to the farm find me. im the guy with long hair and a really long goatee.
looking forward to meeting you.
good luck and blue skies
