  1. i start my aff one week from today. i am so excited its all i can think about, literally. after my aff will my mind be able to compartmentalize jumping a little cause i need to think about other stuff too. so i guess the question is will the obsession subside a little, and if so how many jumps did it take for it to seem "normal"?

  2. Clique
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    This article is about social groups. For other uses, see Clique (disambiguation).
    A clique (IPA:/'kliːk/, pronounced /'klɪk/ by some Americans) is an exclusive group of people who share interests, views, purposes, patterns of behavior, or ethnicity.[1] A clique as a reference group can be either normative or comparative. Membership in a clique is often, but not necessarily, exclusive, and qualifications for membership may be social or essential to the nature of the clique. The term 'clique' may be used pejoratively.

  3. i have always been the one to push whatever i am doing. with motorcycles i like going fast and with dune buggies i like jumping higher, and with photography i loose myself in the shoot. with skydiving i go fast and high and there is no way that you cant loose yourself skydiving. it is such an unnatural thing to fly/fall, this is why i think the rush is so great. for me it is a very spiritual few moments. i love the way the world looks sharper during and after a jump.

  4. i start my aff jumps on the 18th. i noticed that my ears hurt for a little while after i did my tandem jump because of the sudden change in pressure. are there any tricks to making this go away or not as bad?

    thanks,
    mitch

  6. i have only done 1 tandem jump and i realized i was hooked by the time i hit the ground. ive saved 1800 and start my a license jump package this month. its all i can think about but ive finally started to annoy my friends a little less.

  7. my opinion is to forget the 20 and go with a 12 gauge. the likelihood of her ever having to shoot it is minimal and if she does have to shoot it im sure she will be glad for a little more knockdown power.
    they make shotguns with shorter barrels and shorter stock. they are called youth models. this might be perfect for a smaller women.

  12. i start aff on july 18th. i think i am going to camp out and jump that saturday and sunday. got the initial 1800 but figured i needed to save a couple hundred extra cause i hear a lot of people fail at least one aff level. cant keep my mind out of the sky.
