lummy 4 #1 April 28, 2004 Okay peeps, voice your opinions. Our very own Skye is bustin her ass working manifest and video every weekend to save for AFF. Her plan is to save up for level 1-3 and do those. Then do the rest whenever she has enough money. I'm wondering if it would make more sense to save up for all of it, get the discount for paying up front, and knock all 8 levels over the course of a few weekends in a row. She could also do her L1 now, and bang out each level when she has enuf money. I think at the rate she's going, she'll have made enuf money by Aug or so regardless of when she starts. It's her choice of when or if she wants to, I just thought it might help her if she heard others opinionsI promise not to TP Davis under canopy..

sunshine 2 #2 April 28, 2004 I think her bf should rob a gas station to pay for her AFF. Otherwise, i'd wait til i could do it all at once. Sorry skye, i know that keeps you on the ground for another couple months, but it's just my opinion. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

Seriously, I put some money on the books it on her b-day, and throw a JT on every now n then to help. The thing I'll need to remember is to take a step back when she does start.I promise not to TP Davis under canopy..

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Deuce 1 #16 April 28, 2004 All I'm saying is that even if she buys the course up front, it can take months to get through the 8 levels due to wind, etc.. After that she can knock out one a week or so until she's done. Because of high winds and bad weather I took about 13 weeks to get through the 8 levels, and did 3 levels on one weekend where the weather was good. I know she's ready to get started because she told me so herself. Jump today, for tomorrow it may be windy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Girlfalldown 0 #17 April 28, 2004 Hey Gary, It took me over 2 months to finish AFF. The reason was because I started it in late October and we were constantly rained out. I still went to the dropzone every weekend rain or shine though. I think if she starts it now and does them when she can it would be fine. She's still going to be around everyone and it's not like she'll forget what to do. She has everyone there to answer questions for her and she's basically submerged in it. What does Skye want to do?

If you can jump more than 2 times a weekend that's even better. Stuff you already know: Level one will be an all day event - The training will kick your ass. You will be sore Level 2 and 3 are good to do an the same day. - Expect exsessive training and rolling around on the carpet prior to 3. 4 and 5 are very similar dives so performing them the same day is very helpful. 6 much fun.. your first intentional flippy dos 7 Try and do it on the same day as 6 but if not, it goes well with level 8. That's my suggestion and depending on other circustances, it's subject to change. Good luck!My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

Girlfalldown 0 #17 April 28, 2004 Hey Gary, It took me over 2 months to finish AFF. The reason was because I started it in late October and we were constantly rained out. I still went to the dropzone every weekend rain or shine though. I think if she starts it now and does them when she can it would be fine. She's still going to be around everyone and it's not like she'll forget what to do. She has everyone there to answer questions for her and she's basically submerged in it. What does Skye want to do?

skyesspot 0 #18 April 28, 2004 QuoteSkye have you been talking to anyone at the DZ about it? Like Connie? Not yet really. I'm kinda shy about asking to give me a discount and stuff. The coaches and stuff can't wait until I get in the air to help me, but as for asking about any deal... No I haven't. Life is too short. Don't sweat the small stuff.

skyesspot 0 #20 April 28, 2004 QuoteWhat does Skye want to do? Skye wants to jump, but I do want to get level 1 - 4 paid off. Then it's just $150 per jump after that and with as much as I work out at the dz, I can do that easily. Side note: Everytime I realize I'm getting closer and closer to actually doing this, my tummy gets more and more butterflies. Life is too short. Don't sweat the small stuff.

hookitt 1 #21 April 28, 2004 Wait long enough so I can be your instructor! Save enough to do at least a couple levels every weekend. If you can jump more than 2 times a weekend that's even better. Stuff you already know: Level one will be an all day event - The training will kick your ass. You will be sore Level 2 and 3 are good to do an the same day. - Expect exsessive training and rolling around on the carpet prior to 3. 4 and 5 are very similar dives so performing them the same day is very helpful. 6 much fun.. your first intentional flippy dos 7 Try and do it on the same day as 6 but if not, it goes well with level 8. That's my suggestion and depending on other circustances, it's subject to change. Good luck!My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
