merryonion 0 #1 July 14, 2006 Hi everyone! I did my two first jumps last weekend and it was awesome! Its a little tiny DZ so it wasnt very organized, but it was definitely cool being there for the weekend. I cant wait to do the course and learn how to do stuff and be able to jump alone - plus Im looking forward to getting over the fear of crawling out of the plane. Actually, I hate hanging the most. Apparently I hang really weird. Just another thing to work on, right? What was your first jump like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #2 July 14, 2006 Welcome to the sport and to the forums! By the sounds of it you're doing Static Line right? My first jump was a little different because i did AFF but the fear was the same, i remember the door opening at altitude and thinking "HOLEEEEE CRAP! Here we go". The jump went fine though. I still look at our static line students when they get out of the plane and think they're very brave. Keep at it! Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwings 0 #3 July 14, 2006 Meh, the fear doesn't really go away, it just gets smaller and locked away. My first static line jump, I was so pumped i didn't realize my forearm was bruised until someone at work pointed it out. I hit target, y'all. Granted, with radio, but that feeling was great. My first jump ever was a tandem. The clouds were great, the sun was great, my tandem master was great. In another words, perfect. After he did his checks, he allowed me to help steer the canopy. Can you imagine, a 5'0, 110lbs woman trying to handle that tandem Big Bird? It was funny. Good luck with your course. You're doing static line, right? Where do you jump?Why don't you just go to the police station in a red clown suit and let everybody know what we're doing here? I have a phobia for moobs. Thanks, youknowwhoyouare.

merryonion 0 #4 July 20, 2006 I guess you could say I'm doing static line, but I've really just only started and don't know what I'll be doing. I won't be able to do much this summer ,which sucks, but it's just way too expensive as I have to pay for university this year. It's also far away from where I live and I don't have a license or a car... I jump in Nova Scotia, Canada for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
