Icyhot 0 #1 October 21, 2006 Hello! My name is Lee and I am interested in learning to skydive I was just wondering if anyone had some good informational links to learn some basic stuff. Waiting to ship out for the U.S. Coastguard basic training which will last 8 weeks so I have alot of time before any tandem jump. Feel free to e-mail any info at Icyhot_06@hotmail.com. Any good starting advice at all is welcome. I don't drink/smoke in pretty good shape and only 18. I figure there may be some maturiy issues you may worry about but I want constructive criticism too! Thanks alot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laughn_gas 0 #3 October 21, 2006 Icyhot, I am brand new at this sport also, so i cant give you much advice. The only advice that i can share with you is this....... When you decide that it is time for you to do your tandems be very careful. Because al you'll be able to do from there on out, is think SKYDIVE! As for your age? 18 or 81 JUMP!See ya in a minute. Peace out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icyhot 0 #5 October 21, 2006 Thanks all for the help as for where I plan on jumping I have no idea yet I don't know where I will be stationed! I get 3 choices and I am willing to choose them based on how much skydiving and how many skydivers are in an area so locations along the coast or close to it would be very helpful!
