matthias 0 #27 October 17, 2006 QuoteHi, I’m not sure why I’m posting, maybe I’m just hoping someone will say " shut up and jump". I've only done 2 tandems and 5 AFF jumps and on my first 3 AFF jumps I was terrified, I mean absolutely terrified. I was terrified on my first jumps as well, and for me most of the thrill came from the fact I was actively facing my fears and the strength I got from doing it. I'm still on AFF status, but I have faith in the gear and the training. There are implications, but everyone is aware of them when we signed the waiver. I weighed the risks and rewards...and found a reason to continue the progression towards the A license when funds and weather permit._________________________________________ trance/house mixes for download: www.djmattm.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
