lorysflight 0 #1 February 11, 2004 Hello, I am not yet a Skydiver, but I would like to know more about it. Anyone that can talk to me about the facts in Skydiving, it would be appreciated. Thanks Lory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 February 11, 2004 Welcome to the forums! this part of the site. It can answer a lot of your questions that you might have as a newbie. Start out with a tandem, I'm sure you'll love it!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lorysflight 0 #3 February 11, 2004 Thank you skymama. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SlyFox 0 #4 February 11, 2004 Welcome and good luck on your future jumps. You might want to check out Dropzones on this site. Locate the nearest dropzone and give them a call as well as post another thread asking for jumpers from that Dropzone. Everyone here seems to be more then glad to help out one another. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.**** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ChileRelleno 0 #5 February 11, 2004 HI!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Misslmperfect 0 #7 February 11, 2004 hi lory, i saw your post in my thread asking if my tandem was fun, but since you now have your own thread, ill answer you here with a huge HELL YES! so fun in fact, that my husband and i both decided to go through AFP this spring when our local DZ opens. i am in absolutely no place to give any kind of skydiving related advice, but i will say this. i would definately reccommend tandem first. this may not apply to everyone and im sure many many people did their first jump solo and did it well. but i personally cannot imagine experiencing skydiving for the first time and being in that much control! i think i would have enjoyed it lesss. tandems are great in that you get to experience the feeling of freefall and being under canopy without having to worry about much. not saying you shouldnt be aware during a tandem, but you have someone very qualified and experienced attached to you who can take over if something goes wrong, or you freeze up. again, take my advice with a grain of salt..just my thoughts and personal preferences. good luck and have FUN! you'll remember the experience for the rest of your life!!!!! melOh Canada, merci pour la livraison!
