skyyhi 0 #1 December 15, 2003 Woo hoo. . .just finished AFF 5 and 6. Had the two best dives ever. . .Finally got that HUGE canopy to full brakes. . .and had a nice soft landing. . .yeah. My instructor, Tom, was so great. He really took his time coaching me through the entire sequence of both dives. What a truly great experience this was. I am having way too much fun. . .who'd a thought you could have so much fun hurling your body towards earth. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very relaxing day. QuoteSweet, if you're ever at Perris let me know, we should jump together! Chelle, I would love to have the opportunity to jump together. Once we get through the student stuff, lets make it a priority. . . As for the weather, it was cold in the morning, but the rest of the day was sunny and beautiful. . .I stuck around after my jumps and got to know people a little better. Stayed for the bonfire in the new firepit and a couple of beers. . .It was a great ending to a great day. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
