I did my first jump a few weeks ago as a tandem, gonna do AFF this summer and have tunnel time booked for next month... its the greatest feeling ever in free fall, and then the canopy ride is the most peaceful place on the planet... good luck!! Awesome! Does skys the limit have a tunnel? Where are you doing your aff at?

The DZ is sky's the limit in PA. I'm planning on doing a tandem there in July, but I'll be doing my first one June 3rd in ocmd while on vacation.

I thought that tandems were required prior to AFF???

I know I should, although between jobs, etc. I'm away from 7:00AM-7:30PM most days of the week, so just trying to get a little info while I can before I find time to go over. Thanks everyone

Thank you so much for all the information! I am definitely planning on contacting them. When you say log book, is there actually something specific? Or is it just me writing down my tandems locations and times?

hello everyone! Although I've never jumped, I know that I'm already addicted to the sport! I have two tandems coming up within the next two months (at 2 differnet places). I've done some research about AFF and am still confused. Sorry if I sound ridiculous with these questions, but am VERY new to all of this and I just want to know everything I can! I've been reading these forums for weeks now, I can't stop! I have a DZ within 15 minutes of my house (Sky's the Limit in PA)that offers the course... Is there a time limit that once you start you have to complete it in? I believe this places lets you pay per jump for the courses instead of all at once to make it easier. Do either tandems count as anything if they aren't at the same place? How many jumps do you generally have before completing the course? Any information or links would be great! Thanks!

What's your favorite skydiving related quote???

can't stop thinking about it...seriously the only thing on my mind...totally psyched.

I'll definitely come back with a video and a story! So... does that feeling Ever go away?

my heart is in my throat already though... and I still have a couple weeks

Thanks everyone! I weighed out the pros and cons, but you know if I googled "horseback riding risks" there's no way I would think it is safe, but I jump 2000lb animals around every night. I'd rather risk it while I'm young then die old and never have done anything. It might be tough to have my bf drive me to two different skydiving places in one vacation haha [note: he is not jumping!!!] I live in the Poconos of PA, there is "sky's the limit" skydive center within minutes of my house... not a good thing if I do get hooked! I can look out my window at work on a clear day and see them comin down. Just looking to meet some new friends with the same adrenaline addiction

Scheduled to make my first tandem jump while on vacation in June!!! I've always been an adrenaline junkie, so I think it's time for the plunge! I have a feeling either two things will happen 1) I'll die 2) I'll be hooked and have a new expensive hobby! Just thought I'd share! Couldn't find any friends that were willing to come with me... so it's just me
