lightningbugirl 0 #1 August 28, 2004 Hey everyone, how's it going? I'm Gwen! I'm scheduled for AFF #1 tomorrow. Nervous as heck, could never seem to find the dropzone from up there when making tandems! I know I sound like a woosey whuffo still, but how many people do you think end up having instructors actually do the pullin' when alt. is reached during the 1st?

SBS 0 #2 August 28, 2004 Who cares??? You're freaking yourself out...just go do your best. It's your skydive, not everyone elses. Have fun. -S *whisper* PS - it's a little tradition that new girls post a picture or two of themselves in skimpy outfits...nobody really talks about it much, but I'm just trying to help you out... _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

RevJim 0 #3 August 28, 2004 He's lying Gwen. It's tradition that new women post a nekkid picture after their first non-tandem freefall, You're just psyching yourself out. It'll be fine. JM's pulling for you are actually quite rare, but that IS what they are there for. That first jump can be very overwhelming. You'll do fine though, I think, as you sound as if you've been up there before, as cargo. It's your life, live it!

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #4 August 28, 2004 Hi Gwen! Skydiving is such a mental sport. Don't stress out about AFF...you'll do just fine if you stay relaxed and have fun. It's a lot easier physically than you may think. Steve ~ "You're a freak! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBS 0 #7 August 28, 2004 Oh, and when you get there to Elsinore, if you see a skysurfer, Larry/Lawrence there, you have to talk to him. Everyone calls him Larry, but he's really Lawrence. Anyway, don't let him touch you, cause that just makes him think that he may have a chance...make sure to stand at a distance of at least 3-4 feet, so that if he lunges at you, you have time to react and are not caught off-guard. So, you have to ask him how his hang is coming... are you writing this down? Ask him how his hang is coming, and his Henhouse. Very important...tell him that I'm not coming back til I'm satisfied, and he must send video. Can you remember that? Good! :-) -S_____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningbugirl 0 #10 August 28, 2004 Thanks for the pep talk, really appreciate it and no to the naked pic, however, flattered-though I could have like 3 heads etc... Not very choosy .? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
