jumpinfarmer 0 #1 November 3, 2003 first time i've ever posted anything on a computer.made my first tandem in april wile on vacation but didn't like it, however i thought skydiving still looked cool so i tride aff a week later.my instructor warned me this was an expensive adiction.my reply was i only want to do it once to say i did it, as soon as i landed from jump one i manifested for jump two.i spent all summer trying to do seven days worth of farm work in six days so i could jump. i've looked to the sky all my life being a farmer but never for the resons i do now.i don't know how i'll make it through our long western new york winter without visiting our big playground in the sky. thanks!

hooked 0 #2 November 3, 2003 Welcome. I find it weird that you didn't like your tandem but went ahead and did an AFF jump! What do you think it was that you didn't like, on your tandem? Anyway, good luck to you during the long cold winterJ -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

jumpinfarmer 0 #5 November 4, 2003 i'm sort of a control freek i like to do things my self.thats why i think i didn't like the tandem,but totaly loved aff.the tandem was like riding on somone elses motercycle or snowmobile,it was fun but i realy wanted to do it myself.as for the farm i'm a crop farmer so i can come and go,but still have to work with the weather.my skydiving suprises the hell out of everyone i know because i would never fly in a plane,now i don't ever want to have to land in one.

Soozie 0 #6 November 4, 2003 I think we all start thinking we are just gonna try it this one time. But it get's in your head and never goes away. You can never look into the sky without feeling it. Glad to have you with us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertsky 0 #7 November 4, 2003 You may soon learn what great winter vacation spots there are in Florida, Arizona, S. California - at the major skydiving centers there. If you decide to checkout Skydive AZ, don't forget to check out the smaller DZ's in the area too! I moved to Tucson 6 years ago, and love the year round season!*********************************** lookin' for that old time, friendly, club-like dz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpinfarmer 0 #8 November 5, 2003 I hope to get to travel to some warm spot to jump this winter, if I can get someone to cover my snow plow route while I'm away. It sucks but I have to pay for all my toys with something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapWeathersby 0 #9 November 5, 2003 made my first tandem in april wile on vacation but didn't like it I found my tandom jump very uncomfortable. My hands went numb. I've also heard stories of people passing out b/c of their blood circulation being cut off. But i did like the sensation...which is why i went back! You should head down to Georgia...if you get a chance.. doesn't get very cold here....________________________________ "Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value."
