AggieDave 6 #2 November 8, 2001 You might want to locate a DZ near you and drop by for a first jump course. You need a *few* jumps before you can become a tandem master.AggieDave '02-------------Blue Skies and Gig'em Ags!BTHO t.u. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #12 November 8, 2001 Add on what?Go to the DZ mentioned, pay your money, get your half hour brief, do the jump, see how you feel afterwards. If you enjoyed it then sign up for RAPS or AFF. Any questions you have can be answered at the DZ by an instructor. But when you say stuff like :Quotei am also looking for a skydiving partner to teach me out here. please drop a line back to me here or at my email address. bring your own insurance and tandem skydiving rig and log books.You are either trolling in a BIG way or you are seriously misguided about how to go about becoming a skydiver.Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clintonradloff 0 #13 November 9, 2001 neither. if you are thinking that?i want to skydive but on my income.its hardmale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #14 November 9, 2001 What and you think its easy for everybody else?If you really want to do it you can afford it - stop smoking and drinking if you have to, work overtime or get a 2nd job. Skydiving is full of people who don't earn big salaries yet find the time and money to jump. Stop making excuses and just go do it already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #15 November 9, 2001 Shut up, Skreamer. You know we are independently wealthy multimillionares. We all have at least 2 rigs and a personal rigger at the DZ so we jump back-to-back loads all day long. And if the DZ jump plane has a problem, we just jump from our private jets.

skreamer 1 #16 November 9, 2001 Justin, shhhhhh!!!! If the newbie finds out about the secret Government subsidy that pays for anything skydiving related (including beer) then how will we keep the sport as elitist as it is? Thank god only members of mensa can pass the A-license test!!! Can you just imagine if we started letting ordinary people become skydivers??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #17 November 9, 2001 Damnit, I forgot. Sorry, Skreamer. I'll be sure never to mention that the skydiving goes on simultanously with the National Institutes of Health testing on the effects of ultraviolet light exposure on women's bodies. What would happen if people found out about all the naked women running around our dropzones? Better not let that secret out either!

skreamer 1 #18 November 9, 2001 I also like the way the beer companies base their R&D and quality control departments on dropzones. I mean really, have you EVER paid for a beer at the DZ? (also nice of Durex to sponsor us in conjunction with that top secret study you mentioned in your post!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #20 November 9, 2001 Mr. X,You be quiet. You're just jealous because you didn't make the cut at the last adult movie that was filmed at the DZ using skydivers as "talent" to work with the ladies. Maybe you'll have better luck next time.
