First Jump Coming Up

[SuperDave2010 0]

So, Next month will be my first tandem jump and I am extremel;y excited. I cannot wait for the day to come. I am 24 and looking for any tips anyone wants to give me. I have been doing my research for some time so I have been learning a few things here and there.

Dont do it.....you will get hooked....

Oh wait what am i saying! Go for it! You will have a lot of fun.
Relax, listen to your instructors. I just got my first AFF jump out of the way last week, now on to the next few levels this weekend!

Take it all in! Enjoy the moment!
I did my first tandem a few weeks ago.... now i'm totally hooked! Saving every dime I have so I can continue in this sport...

I am pretty sure you'll get hooked just because you've already went on line and looked for stuff outside of the DZ.

I say be careful because you may find yourself doing (or buying) all kinds of stuff.
Other than that I say read up when you can but the best stuff might be what you talk about with instructors and experienced people who are trustworthy. That's what I'm going with.

yea you pack 5 guys into a small Cessna for 20 minutes, anyone would rather jump than stay in there for much longer.
