thebeev 0 #1 July 26, 2003 Just Did my level 7 and 8 aff yesterday, and did I kick both levels ass! Yahoo! Had to do 7 again because I had a little trouble on the exit, BUT, this time much better! The back loops and barrell rolls, amazing feeling. I'm addicted even more now. Thank you income tax return for getting me here lol, and of course my instructors. Unfortantly there was not enough time in the day to do my solo, I gotta get back up there. Damn thing called a job getting in the way, eh what are you going to do. Now time to have some fun and learning bigger and better things about this awsome sport! Medbill DME Billing Service Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andie2skydive 0 #2 July 26, 2003 It may not be my place but don't get to kocky. Always remember each jump is a learning experiance even at 10 or at 10,000 plus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebeev 0 #3 July 26, 2003 Na, I'm not getting kocky, The dive just felt alot better after that bad exit I had. I know I have alot to learn and I want to learn as much as I can. Every dive is a learning expierence. Anyway I didn't mean to sound kocky, still all excited about those jumps. Medbill DME Billing Service Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SadSue 0 #5 July 26, 2003 Congratulations beev!!!! You Owe BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you don't get Banned! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebeev 0 #6 July 26, 2003 Quote You Owe BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, I was informed in on that already andie, I was reading your post on about your hard opening. I know I have plenty to learn, and I'm sure the same situation would give me a wake up call. I always have that in the back of my head so I'll be prepared. I Always go over my emerg, before jumps. Anyway I'm actually on the other side of the spectrum from kocky. You have a good time out there and stay safeMedbill DME Billing Service Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andie2skydive 0 #7 July 26, 2003 Wasn't saying you were kocky Just giving a friendly wake up call. I just lost a friend in the sport because he was over confident. ENJOY AND STAY SAFE THAT"S ALL THAT MATTERS> Hope you enjoy becoming complacent (sp?) is the worst in this sport. Be prepared for everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebeev 0 #8 July 26, 2003 Appreciate the friendly advice, I'll take as much advice as possible. Really sorry to hear about your friend though. Its always shitty hearing about other skydivers getting hurt or not making it. Exp, if its someone that you knew.Medbill DME Billing Service Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you passed the level without many problems, you could say you "kicked both levels ass!". I dont think thebeev is being cocky (and if i'm wrong and he IS being cocky, he shouldnt be ------------------------------------------------------ "Ive given up on sigs cos I make a mess of them!" ------------------------------------------------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebeev 0 #12 July 28, 2003 Ok ok, I guess I should of word everything a little different. Phonics is right, I'm just excited about doing the levels "well". Last thing I need, is to be known as a kocky ass on this site. Because I'm going to need as much advice in my future of skydiving. Anyway, blue ones to everyoneMedbill DME Billing Service Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andie2skydive 0 #13 July 28, 2003 sorry did not want to start any shit but it came across the wrong way just remember that each and every jump is something new to learn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveNFlorida 0 #15 July 29, 2003 omg! The man is excited, why bring him down? ! It's an awesome feeling when you pass AFF, I haven't even done my 8th jump yet and i'm already happier than ever i've been! I don't think he'd being cocky, he is proud of himself for beating those levels down... and dammit, i'm proud of you too, beev!! I just finished levels 3-7 this weekend, and at the risk of sounding cocky, IT FELT GREAT!! Does this mean I think i'm the shit and can't die or screw up a jump? Of course not! We are all human, and in 8 jumps you can't possibly have gone through all situations that may occur. Congrads on passing!! Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
