NuMRX 0 #1 May 6, 2013 I'm new to the forum and I thought I'd drop by and introduce myself. I'm really wanting to get into skydiving and it's been a goal of mine for quite a while but I just haven't done it yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #2 May 6, 2013 Welcome! I always recommend that one should do at least one skydive. Who knows ? You might like it! On the other hand, there is a major danger with doing your skydive that nobody is going to tell you about but I'll let the cat out of the bag... The major danger is...... You'll like it so much that you'll want to do it again and again and again and again and there goes your house payment, your car payment, your SO, your dog, your cat, and all your current friends. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, yeah I've heard that and I think I'm going to get addicted to it for sure. Although I'm afraid that they are going to cover so dang much in ground school for my first AFF jump that I'm not going to pass the test. I hate cramming.

DannyW 0 #7 May 7, 2013 just go for it mate. once you do you will think "why the hell didn't I just do it earlier ?" I am doing my Aff course now and only done stage 4 so far but already all the stuff I was stressing over is gone, its all fun from here. as long as you can remember and put in practice the main things like proper exit, pulling on time and correct body positions you will pick up the small stuff as you get over your initial fear. Like the order of the verbal routines etc if your DZ does them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
