New Skydiver

[pcnut 0]

Hello everyone. My name is Steve, I live in Lake Elsinore, CA. As a xmas gift I got a tandem jump for my daughter and myself.

We both loved it...I knew I had to learn to jump.

I saved up until March, purchased the entire 25 jump package and got my A license in a little under a month.

Now my daughter (she is 19 now) is working on saving up for her AFF. I did get her a second tandem for her bday a couple of weeks ago.

I was doing my solos then so we flew up together, I got to kiss her cheek goodbye and dove out the door.

I love jumping and have met so many cool people over at elsinore.

I usually jump all day on Sundays but sometimes if work is slow during the week I go down to the dz

Thanks,
Steve

Welcome to the forums! must really like skydiving, you've progressed quickly! It's great that you get to share the sport with your daughter, I hope you get the chance to jump with her soon.

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

I think it was really just a matter of timing...

When I did my first skydive (the tandem) I was (am) 40, so I decided I was gonna bang this out with out wasting anymore time, I work for myself so my schedule is flexible, and finally I got my tax return in March. Also I live less than 10 minutes from Elsinore & Perris!

The Perfect Storm!

That's really awesome man. I wish my girlfriend would jump with me :( But that's really awesome you get to jump with your daughter.

I'm totally jealous. Congrats on getting your A cert.

You know what's similar between Cops and Firefighters? They both wanna be firefighters.
