tomvailco 0 #1 September 17, 2005 just wanted to say hi, I just did my first tandem that I wanted to do for years and I loved it so much I want to take the aff course. All my friends that went tandem with me don't want to do it again so I'm having a little trouble just to go do it by myself. wish me luck.

Steeler 0 #2 September 17, 2005 Yep, I had (am having) the same trouble. Going by yourself sucks, but thats the only choice we have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpinfarmer 0 #4 September 18, 2005 Welcome abord. Don't worry about going by your self because after a few jumps you will have made some new friends at the DZ. Before long your old friends will wonder why you are never around on the weekends anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeler 0 #8 September 18, 2005 QuoteWelcome to the forums! This is dead on. I went to the DZ last night, didnt jump but just hung out, asked thousands of questions, listened, and learned a ton and made some new freinds. I think it really helps with the anxiety when you really feel like you KNOW the people on the plane with you and they areent all just of bunch of strangers.

No, they won't be strangers but they will still always be pretty strange.

In a good way of course Take care PJ Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites monkycndo 0 #11 September 19, 2005 Quote No, they won't be strangers but they will still always be pretty strange. Jeeze Skymama, we have never met and yet you seem to know me so well. Tom, I agree with the above posts. If you get to the DZ early, stay late and proudly pay off your firsts, you will meet a lot of great people and have more fun then might be considered legal. Soon your skydiving friends will out number your wuffo friends. See you in the sky, Monkeyboy50 donations so far. Give it a try.
