icewarrior1 0 #1 April 12, 2010 So i had 53 jumps nine years ago. have my b license. Ended up quitting the sport. My gf at the time didn't want me spending time at the dz. Anyways, last year i did a tandem and i told myself i need to get back in the sky!! Went to skynights in east troy, wi for safety day, took ground school last weekend and made my first solo jump yesterday!! Was a great jump. Went up with 2 aff instructors. They released me halfway thru the dive. I'm a little shaky but felt good and had a good landing! I gotta go back next week and make a couple more jumps doing backflips, turns and tracking and then i should be current again!!! I'm so happy to be back!

steve1 5 #6 April 16, 2010 Welcome back Jeff! You'll do fine. You never forget how to fall stable. You might need to relax more and just feel the air.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrKotter 0 #7 April 16, 2010 I feel your pain, bro! Was out for 10 years myself before returning to the sport in '08. As soon as I let go of the plane on my recurrency jump, all I could think of was, "What the hell have I been doing for the last 10 years?!!!" You made the right choice. Glad to see you back!
