mabend 0 #1 August 24, 2006 I made my first tandem at the beginning of July, and it was about the exact moment my feet touched the ground that I knew I was hooked. Shortly after, I found this site and I've just been reading everything I can find and lurking in the forums getting a feel for things. I figured it was time to post and say hi. My first solo after ground school was last weekend. Wow, now that was fun. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, but I guess my first jump can't be perfect. I got some good instruction and I'm going crazy waiting to jump again to get it right. In 2 weeks I'm taking a week off work to go down to Crosskeys and finish up AFP, but I might have to go this weekend to get a fix. Anyway, hi to all and I hope I get to know you all and jump with some of you as I get farther into the sport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mabend 0 #5 September 9, 2006 Bumping this back up because I just graduated AFF on Friday. I did my last 4 jumps that day and wow, each jump was 10x more fun than the last one. I'm really starting to feel more relaxed up there and I can tell my arch is getting better every time I jump. I did my duty and bought a case, met some really cool people, and I can't wait to start jumping solo to work towards my A. Addicted for life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
