skydiving is like everything else, the more you do it the less nervous you get. you will also remember more. i only have four solo jumps which i did last weekend, but you "wake up" a little more with each jump and retain a lot more. good luck with the plane thing, it kinda freaks me out too. i just breath deep and think about the dive flow and it keeps me more calm. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

dont know if you can but pot works for me. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

no repeats so far. both instructors released on level 3 with solo pull. level 4 was with one jumpmaster and he also released, right and left turns good and even got the forward movement down. we redocked on the forward movement, then we backed off and i had a solo pull. level 1 landing was a little rough cause i came in on my ass instead of a plf, flared late. level 2 and 4 i had a nice plf and didnt get hurt, level 3 was my first stand up landing. it was all amazing and i cant wait till next weekend so i can get back in the air. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

2:1 i did level 1 aff on friday evening last load after my ground class. levels 2 and 3 on saturday, then level 4 on sunday. cant wait till next weekend. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

i finally started my aff jumps this weekend. i have knocked out 4 aff jumps so far and did really well. cant wait for next weekend to jump some more. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

thanks for the input. i ended up doing one jump, last load, on friday after my aff ground school. then levels 2 and 3 on saturday, the level four today which is sunday. it feels amazing to be in the sky, dont really want to come down. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

im finally off work and fixin to head that way. cant wait!!! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

i have been waiting since may to start my aff jumps. i have ground school today and jumping saturday and sunday. hope the clouds move on out cause i cant stand to wait any longer. Hell yeah!!! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

thanks for the comments. i am so excited i cant stand it. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

turtle is still around so things should stay interesting "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Quote How much cheaper is it to buy them as a package? /reply] for 1800 dollars i am getting 25 jumps which includes everything from the equipment rental to the coach and aff instructors. anywhere else i would probably end up spending 2400 to 2600. the farm is also highly recommended. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

i just want a lot of money that way i could do anything i want. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

i am starting my aff jumps this saturday. i am buying them as a package because it is much cheaper. about how many aff jumps should i try to complete in a weekend? thanks "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

people are people....and some SUCK! think this is my new favorite quote "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

i would go with the jackass guy. it has to be more appealing to skydivers seeing that we are all jackasses for jumping out of airplanes. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

What about the people who do not drink?? i feel sorry for them, maybe they should start. if not there is always pot. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Anyhoo, how big does something have to be before it is littering and the cops would do something about it? They don't care if you throw a butt out, if you empty an ashtray in front of them would that do it? Is a bottle top ok but the bottle is over the edge? What say you? here in georgia cops will give you a ticket for throwing out cigg butts. i am a smoker and i always keep an ashtray in my truck and throw them away at a gas station. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

act single, see double, drink triple the best advice i can give. keep busy and its easier to loose yourself that way you can find yourself in something new, mitch "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

you definitely need to do some shopping around. luckily the place i did my tandem jump had the best price around, plus it is highly recommended. check out the link popsjumper posted cause the farm offers an a license package for 1800 us dollars. you might not be able to find something that cheap up north, but even traveling a couple hundred miles and camping for a few days while jumping would be cheaper. thats what im going to do starting this weekend. good luck "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

if the girl has dark hair i prefer shaved/waxed, but if it is not so dark hair there is room for compromise based on candidate to candidate basis. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Hmm ... we (skydivers) as a group are a "clique", aren't we? my opinion is that skydivers are just a group not necessarily a clique, but i would say that the different disciplines (freeflyeers, wingsuiters, freestyle, etc.) would be the cliques. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

its happened to me many times, but the thing that pisses me off the most is when some dick head decides he needs to wash his windshield while i am behind him. its shitty when you get soaked by that stuff, especially if its the stuff with bug remover or rain x, assholes for sure. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

new castle is a good beer. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

well put "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

gotta watch out for gatorade too. alcohol bonds with electrolytes and it can fuck you up pretty bad if it goes straight to your blood instead of your liver. dont know how accurate this is but its what i have always been told. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
