New Student Checking In

Recommended Posts

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.

You're lucky to be able to jump with your girlfriend and have access to a good tunnel.



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.
