Diving after another jumper

I like this thread... I'm going to put some of this to use...

I'm pleased... my threads are usually duds.

If I get to attempt this again tomorrow, I may return with yet another question.

When I first started diving out after another jumper that I want to dock with I waited a good 2-3 seconds thinking it was suppose to be vertical seperation. This made it very difficult for me to catch up to them(I'm a slow faller). So, when I started asking what I was doing wrong, everybody said I was waiting way to long, and that one second would be plenty to give the required seperation.

Cheers,

What??? Skyfest is almost in your back yard and you're thinking about going?

Get your butt over there...you will NOT regret it...I guarantee it!

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Yeah, lately I've been giving it much more serious thought because everyone keeps telling me how great it is. HOWEVER, I'm having a hard time finding out very much about the details, like what is scheduled to happen on each of the days, and whether there will be any formal-type classes so I can LEARN while I'm there, what the cost is, etc. etc. Apparently the website is still under construction; I get a lot of "More info coming" pages.

I got my 'A' this past weekend. I still can't believe it. I was going to post my good news on a new thread, but I've hardly been able to sit still long enough to do so!

I'm a POP, too. I did my first tandem on my 50th b-day.

I'm still on cloud 9 about my 'A'!
