ferrarimv 0 #1 March 9, 2012 Hi. I'm a r00kie. I really really want to get into skydiving, and I'm going over to my local DZ for Safety Day, official 1st day of Beginning of Season this Saturday. Planning to sit through lectures and jump my tandem, and start my work towards my "A" Really really excited! Can't wait till I/we leap over the edge of the door!! Well anyway...I wanted to get a HARDCOPY (book format) of Skydiver's Information Manual SIM 2012. And I know it costs $26+ from USPA site, but figured I'd ask this great community and maybe someone has an extra one laying around that they could "sacrifice" and mail it to me ;) Thank you so so much!! And cant wait to start reading & learnig & jumping & do more reading & learning. P.S. (I'm a SAFETY FREAK by nature & always overcautious) :::Skydive - Preacher ::: ~~Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God~~ (Jn3:3) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel99 474 #2 March 9, 2012 Why not just focus on the first few parts of section 4 (Student learning program) and the BSR's section 2? You don't need a full hardcopy for that. The problem with trying to 'jump start' your learning solo, is that it can be hard to unlearn stuff. Instructors are good people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 8 #3 March 9, 2012 This is the current edition of the SIM, so finding someone to 'Donate' it to you would be tough. We had to pay for them "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you really want a hard copy but not willing to pay for it. Download the free .pdf and print the sections you need. Sections 2, 4, and 5 would be a great start.

They will thank you for it!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Secondly, the dz probably already HAS a 'coppy'. Third, it's easier and fairly cheap to take it to Kinkos and get them to print it off, both sided and bind it together."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
