It was great even though I just stopped by for about 30 mins and ate some food with a friend, there were alot people! Im def going to go back this sat or next and stay a little longer this time.

Awesome I just Pm'd her, thanks again! Ill jump back on here this weekend and tell yah how it went. No expectiations for my self im just going to go and spectate

Ok you talked me into it! It wont be till the afternoon though because I have to go up the mountain in the morning for a little. But what the heck do I do when I get there, haha Other than watching awesome people land of course!

Ok Im going then. Busy sat but Sunday over the ortega hwy and there early in the morn. Feel kinda weird though just rollin up myself

hahahah Damn you guys are over whelming!! Im going next weekend and sitting around and watching and we will see what happens. Elsinore, I think its open year around. No thinking and one foot in front of the other has always worked for me so thats what Im going to do. Embrace the fear fight it and beat! Its on!

Thanks! That is exactly what I gotta do.

That was great! Its much better to know other people feel the same way I feel but the deference is you followed threw with it.

A lot of people have trouble getting themselves started. I would recommend reading through this thread and reading the linked cartoons. Right, its kinda the hardest thing i have come across to commit to but that is exactly one of the reasons why I am going to. Thanks for the link. That was great! Guess its one of those things you gotta suit up and show.

So freakin awesome man! Super insperational. "Just did it"! Im really looking forward to the experiance and Im glad there are people out there that feel the same way I do.

Thanks for your reply Skymama! I heard of that book, I will def pick it up tonight. My main prob is the height and the initial exit. For some reason the first couple secs right when I left the door I dont seem to remember anything but I do remember everything else and obviously dont want that to happen during AFF. 2nd watching videos of people spining out of control to the point of being incapasitated because of a bad exit scares the crap out me but in the tunnel it does seem like it would be easy to recover but I heard its defferent in the sky. Ugh - I do know though I want this more than anything else I have ever done and it just kinda sucks cause there is no one that I know really well that skydives or that lives in Orange County that skydives and could give me advice.

Hey guys, Since my tandem last summer I have been obessed with everything that has to do with sky diving including researching everything - reading books and jumping in the wind tunnel acouple times in which I could hold my own with in two mins and move foward, backwards, up, down and spin around with in 5 mins no prob my first time. Im 31 and have been riding street bikes since I was 16 and Im a snow board instructor during the winter on the weekends. I drive from Newport beach to Big Bear fri- sun. I love the need for speed and usaully can confront my fears but I just cant seem to go to the damn DZ with out over thinking it and turn into a big whimp. I know its kinda stupid to even post this on here but maybe just throwing it out there will help because I really want to start my AFF course! Just need to some how force myself and budget myself for the course and then do it. Thanks for reading!

Dont you guys all skydive? Sounds to me this is a forum for the pottery barn. Martha Stewart and Oprah argueing over what kind of soil to use for sun flowers.

If you dont mind me asking, how did you chop off the tip?

hahah

I was at the farmers market in La back in 2001 and wanted a redbull but they didn't have it so I had to run across 3rd street to the liquor store to get one. As I was about to cross 3rd a girl from behind me said 'hey cutie' and all I remember is turning my head but my body kept walking forward and stepped in the street. Next thing I remember is hearing voices all around me thinking I was still in bed waking up from a nice rest the night before not remembering anything that had happened till I opened my eyes and saw I was in a hospital bed. I freaked out but could not move, two nurses were holding me down because I had a broken leg and collar bone and a really bad concussion. I guess I stepped out into traffic got hit by a Jag going 40 and flew 20 feet and had a seizure and was knocked out for two days. Over all not too bad but "TG for morphine'. hahah I feel mostly bad for the woman who saw everything go down.
