Kaz 0 #1 November 30, 2003 32 jumps, including 8 tandems, 1 ambulance ride & overnight in hospital, 2 long breaks (one from fear, the other just circumstance) and 2 incredible instructors who never gave up on me and believed in me when I didn't - I can't believe I finally did it!!! The feeling is soooo sweet - now I know why I do it! Don't you just LOVE this sport?! Kaz Never ever ever give upKaz Never ever ever give up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaz 0 #4 December 1, 2003 QuoteJust being nosey, what caused the ambulance ride? AFF Stage 7 back in May, TA'd into bad place, had to flare a bit late to miss the tree and didn't PLR (froze in terror) so landed hard on my feet and as my knees hit I jarred my back real good. Luckily there was no permanent injury and I was back in the air 2 weeks later. That was my last TA'd jump, too, because I learnt I was depending on it far too much and it was time to take responsibility for myself.
