kitcat 0 #9 April 7, 2004 Geez I expected to see you at the DZ a month ago Hello, I've got all the info. on starting. But not the funds to start yet. I sit and watch the sky day dreaming.....it breaks my hart! I think going to the DZ and not being able to start classes would just be too much. Good thing the wait is almost over. At the boogie i wondered at the sad looks that surrounded me while we waited for blue skies. Now I know that this is a worse kind of wait. I would rather jump into everything head first (ha ha)!

Amazon 7 #10 April 7, 2004 Hey for what its worth.. come on out and meet people.. meet the instructors.. ask questions...get the vibe of both of the DZ... really.. I hung out for a couple months when I first got back into it.. saw what kind of gear I wanted.. met lots of people and got my old decrepit body into better shape.

Many DZ.Com people are there...Talk with the DZO about training.. prices etc. ON Sunday Snohomish will be closed and we will be moving the show down the road to Kapowsin. So you are welcome to join us...next thing you know based on how you feel about either place... you can make an informed decision on how you would like to proceed with joining us in the sky.Feel free to PM me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nael 0 #11 April 8, 2004 I agree that its a good idea to go out to the dz before you start jumping there. I started AFF last weekend, but I was at the dz the 2 weekends before that just hanging around. Met a lot of people which made it really comfortable for me to start AFF there, since there were already some familiar faces once I got there. It makes it a lot easier when you've got people to talk to and ask questions aswell, plus - for me it was a good way to pass the time, because skydiving was all I was thinking about anyway!www.TerminalSports.com.auAustralia's largest skydive gear store Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
