kmcm22 0 #1 August 20, 2003 Hey Guys, I did my first tandom jump on sunday and i havent stopped thinking about it. This is something i would be willing to give up my career for; " travel and skydive." Im planning on going back in a couple weeks and i want to get certified. Does anyone know a site i could read up on or if you can tell me what steps are needed to become certified? Thanks guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knotfreak 0 #5 August 20, 2003 Same thing here. I did mine on saturday with a buddy of mine. Next step for me is the solo jump. I can't stop thinking about it. It felt great freefalling and tumbling a couple of times. My right contact lens fell out end ended on the goggles. I still get sweaty palms when thinking about the jump. Oh and btw, nice to meet ya all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Fast 0 #6 August 20, 2003 Welcome to the forums.

I suggest you invest in "Parachuting The Skydiver's Handbook" by Poynter and Turoff, it's a great read and being proactive about my training is helping. All I want to do is jump and I can't get the shit eating grin off my face. I'm just afraid I'm going to be out the door before the jumpmasters and will be doing level 1 twice! Blue Skies!!!
