s0urce 0 #1 July 28, 2010 Long time reader, first time poster... My name is Chris, I'm very new to the sport. My girlfriend and I had both wanted to start skydiving since we started dating over 2 years ago. Initially we were going to do a tandem together to celebrate her birthday on June 27th, but after some research we both opted for the AFF course instead. A month later, here we are -- AFF course complete, over 30 minutes of tunnel time each, and we're both addicted beyond belief. I try to get to the tunnel in Hollywood at least once a week, and now I'll be doing 2-3 Solo's every Friday until I get the A license. I've been jumping at Elsinore so far, but I'm excited to have many DZ's within arms reach in the So. Cal area. A huge thanks to everyone at the 'Snore for being as awesome as they are. I couldn't have come this far without the awesome help from so many instructors there... Lelo, Jose, Bob, Damien, Aaron, Michael to name a few. It's truly a pleasure to be a part of such an awesome community filled with (without a doubt) the happiest people alive. I'm looking forward to siphoning through the wisdom and BS these boards will definitely provide...and maybe I'll contribute a tad bit myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Skymama, How do you know she has a good "tunnel" and is that what the kids are calling it now days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Skymama, How do you know she has a good "tunnel" and is that what the kids are calling it now days? Oh wow...THAT tunnel.. Well that tunnel isn't very large, in fact there's only room for one. Forget 2-way's and 3-way's, and team training certainly isn't an option. Not to mention it's invite only and the guest list has been full for the past 2 years.
