100LL 0 #1 June 7, 2010 Went out to skydive twin cities this morning for my first AFF jump. It was awesome!! I had great instructors who kept the mood light the whole time. Jumped from 11K from a Cessna 206....can't wait to get out there and do it again!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just bring it in when you go to the DZ or only when there is a party or something? most people require a case of beer for each first, although beer rules USUALLY dont apply during AFF, examples are, FIRST solo, FIRST, jump on a self packed canopy, FIRST cutaway/reserve ride, FIRST jump on a new canopy, FIRST 4 way, 8 way, and 16 way, etc etc etc...multiple firsts can be completed in one day and only one case of beer is required, i did my AFF grad jump, 1st solo, and planned on 1st self packed canopy all in one jump (missed that one due to having to hurry to make a load, and the fact that it took like 30 mins for me to pack the stupid giant bed sheet in the slipperly damn bag, haha) theres a website explaining beer rules better but i cant rember what it is. . .someone here will post it im sureThanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
