TShearer 0 #1 July 24, 2007 Hi all! I am so glad I found this forum to be able to talk to other skydivers. I did my first tandem jump on July 7 at Skydive Suffolk and I am hooked. My instructor was awesome, I didn't feel that scared before going up. I did feel a bit naseous after landing because it was hot out, I didn't drink much before I jumped and I get a bit of motion sickness sometimes. Anyways, I want to do my AFF but I think I'd like to do another tandem first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TShearer 0 #3 July 24, 2007 Thanks for the tip, I will ask my DZ about that. None of my friends can understand why I want to jump out of a plane, I can't stop talking about it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TShearer 0 #5 July 25, 2007 Same here, I keep trying to talk about it and no one understands really what I'm talking about. So I figured I need to make some friends who actually do know what I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's worked out pretty well for me so far. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keka 0 #7 July 25, 2007 welcome! glad you liked it! I thought the same about having another tandem jump before starting my AFF...I'm glad I didn't.... AFF is expensive... I would save my money for all the jumps you will need. tandem is a lot of fun though...but if you really think about going through the AFF, you will need to start to save $$ now. have fun! http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org PMS#551 I love my life :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
