flyangel2 2 #2 April 13, 2005 Welcome. I saw your other post about DZs in the state you are from. Where and when did you do your jump? I hope the money gets her soon for you. Weather wise, the best part of the season is starting.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peej 0 #4 April 14, 2005 Hey Rachel, welcome to the sport and the forums! You'll find that money will be an issue the whole way through your skydiving career, jump addiction is a nasty habit It's funny how money is so hard to make and so easy to spend!

Beeron 0 #5 April 14, 2005 Hi there Rachel....I'm a Colorado jumper as well. Once you get bitten by the skydiving bug, you can pretty much count on never having any money again. Hope you get to start AFF soon! B~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cookiemunster 0 #6 April 14, 2005 True..money's almost always an issue with everything..but after you shell out the money for AFF isn't it only $20 every time after that? Also, do you recommend any AFF program over another one? like the one at brush over mile-hi? I'm hoping to get it done in august..becuz i'm going out of country until then"Dont let the green grass fool you, and dont let it change your mind!"

Beeron 0 #7 April 15, 2005 Well....it's easy to think that once AFF is done it'd get cheaper. Fact of the matter is that after AFF you'll want to buy your own gear, start travelling to boogies, and just want to jump more in general....all of which add up to a lotta $$$. I did my AFF out in Brush (about 4 years ago)...however, it was a very different scene then. Each of the CO DZ's have their good points...maybe you could just take a day to visit each and see which one best suits you. Hope you enjoy you're travelling this summer!

Cookiemunster 0 #9 April 15, 2005 Can you make your own suit cheaper? That's a great idea to go see all of them Hope you enjoy you're travelling this summer! I'll be going to Romania to work with orphans then drop by Croatia to visit my friends where i grew up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
