First time jumper from KY

[Ping 0]

So I've been talking for years about my big 30th birthday - "I'm going skydiving!" Well, this past weekend the day was finally here, and 5 of my friends and I took the plunge. We met Jim at www.skydiveky.com on Sunday, and had a great day.

I did my first tandem around 1230 or so. The bad part is, I'm now hooked. Myself and a friend of mine from WV are planning on jumping again Spring '09 (my wife couldn't jump Sunday because she's prego with our 2nd - made us promise to jump with her then), and hopefully I can take the next step to learning all I can in this sport.

I can't wait to jump again, and it's only been days since my first! I'm assuming that's normal right?

At any rate, HI GUYS - I can't wait to soak up all the information I can over the next few months. Any information you guys want to send my way on steps/money needed to be able to jump solo will be very much appreciated!

HEY SISTER! Sunday was PERFECT - now let's get rolling with AFF in a year or so.

Welcome to the forums! Here is a link that will provide some information on starting to skydive. Your dz will have a list of the costs of their available training methods. After that, you'll have to spend money on your own gear, which can get pretty expensive. It's not a cheap sport, but well worth it!
