tadbad

Still being new...I haven't really picked up a nickname at the dropzone. But I have a couple others....Tad Bad has been around for as long as I can remember....my friends have told me I always fool people into thinking I am only a "tad" bad. My more recent nickname has been Man Eater....been told I have a bad habit of chewing them up and spitting them out. (Bring on the comments)

I need this job to support my new hobby...so I better quit surfing the web so much. I am actually looking for a part-time job so that I can jump more often...any suggestions?

I know...ever since I got hooked on jumping (only a month now) I spend way too much time at work surfing the web to fill my brain with skydiving info. I am afraid they are going to figure out that I spend 90% of my day on the web...and not working.

Just found this website....hope you find something here...

Now you have me all confused!
Corona was always requested the few times I was out there...but green works too!

I have heard about Team Funnel...and was lucky enough to have Bill Homer (founder...right?) as my JM for both tandems. What a great guy!! Well, I will definitely have to stop by and make some new friends. Are you guys mostly out there only on weekends?
So, then after my first "solo"....clear bottles, right??? (Learned that rule early).

I know...once a month is better than never. Plus...I am so hooked...I am afraid that if I was out there more often I would end up having to declare bankruptcy, cutaway from the real world and move to the drop zone (hmmm..that is not such a bad idea ).

I know...I wish I had enough $$ to finish up my AFP classes ASAP...but it willl probably end up taking me a year or so.
I'm telling ya...if I had jumped before ordering my hot tub...there would be no hot tub!! Too bad I can't move it out to the drop zone, huh??

Do you still jump there?

Thanks for the info. I know the are one of the premier drop zones in the country and feel lucky to be able to take my classes there.
Another question...how worried do I have to be about my first solo? Being the perfectionist that I am...I was not really happy with my second tandem...but they said I did great and am ready for AFP 1. Should I trust my judgement and do another tandem to up my confidence...or just go for it and do the AFP 1?
I cannot believe how addicted I have gotten to this!! I just wish I had the money to do more than 1 class a month (damn that new hot tub I just bought....that could have paid for enough jumps to last me 5 years)!!

Woohoo...road trip!!

Hello everyone...
Over the past month or so I have done my first couple tandems at SDC and am going to start my AFP classes in the next couple weeks (too bad my finances are going to make this a long process).
I was wondering if there is anyone here who is currently a student at SDC. I love it out there and am looking for any reason to spend more weekends out there. I cannot wait to do my first solo jump!!
Thanks
Karla
