McDirt 0 #1 July 17, 2005 Hello everyone I am very new to the sport of skydiving. One tandem freefall. But i have had a few 24 to be exact static line jumps in the military. Anywho... i thought i would write in search of a mentor around the Raeford DZ area to teach me the ropes and reccommend some good gear. Anyway thanks for reading and wish me luck!!
