Pokerzen 0 #1 August 1, 2007 I'm a first time ever skydiver as of 3 days ago. My wife, my brother-in-law and myself took the jump at 8500' with instructor assistance to stabilize and pull the cord. OMFG!!! My wife and I are now planning a trip to the Skydive Space Centre to make the 18,000' tandem our second skydive experience. From there we'd like to go on to get certified. I love this website ... everything I could want to know all in one spot. Good to meet everyone and I hope I get to know you in the future. Here's our jumps! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb3Et9bu_8s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0me9zE1GT4E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RO-kEuQYdY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #4 August 1, 2007 Welcome to the forums! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pokerzen 0 #5 August 1, 2007 Thanks for the click-throughs. :) QuoteAwesome! How much ground instruction did you get before jumping? We received 6 hours total on-the-ground training. On the Friday night we trained for 2 hours on basic procedures and what to expect. Day 2 was 4 hours where we covered emergency scenarios and did some simulation work. From there it was up and away! :) Bob and Mary from Grand Bend Parachute were just great! I'm sure they are probably members here but I don't know it yet.
