stephhenyar 0 #1 November 19, 2003 Hi all, I am new to the scene. I went skydiving for the first time last weekend. Its incredible! Meditation at a new level. After searching for a hobby to indulge in, I believe I have found it. Expect to see me around this site more (you know, during the hard days at work "If you have knowledge, let others light their candle in it" ~Margaret Fuller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikemc 0 #10 November 19, 2003 you will get those bruises for another couple of jumps then it will disappear. Student kit isnt always the best fitting anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdgregory 0 #11 November 20, 2003 I did levels 1-3 on the first day and I had some serious bruises. Part of it is the student rigs, one size does NOT fit all. The other part, make sure you tighten them up good. Welcome to the skies. Welcome to the forums. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #14 November 29, 2003 Hello, and welcome to your new lifestyle. If it grabs you, as it does most of us, it grabs you good and doesn't let go. Just be sure not to sell anything you need, lungs, liver, significant other, to finance your new life. On second thought, if your S.O. isn't into skydiving and wants you to quit, feel free to put them up on the auction block. Glad to have you here, and I hope to see you around the forums.

Do so again! Would that we all could so eloquently see the beauty of the sky as he did. Try to remember to never get so caught up in the performance aspects of skydiving as to forget how blessed we are to have such a wonderous playground. It never looks the same on any jump...
