I actually bought this book used over the summer and have just started reading it. It makes a lot more sense now after reading various topics in the forum. Thanks. Change the energy

Can anyone recommend a good book, in layman terms, to read about skydiving in preparation to get certified. Change the energy

Well said and I appreciate you sharing your story. And so I continue my journey to figure this out. I'm in great shape and what you mention about effecting my 'real life' is definitely on my list of concerns. For now I will continue to read the forum, observe skydivers in early spring, and then make a decision. The dropzone is conveniently a half hour drive from my place which also makes it more appealing. I'm a 43 year old woman who has suffered my share of injuries with broken bones and two acl recontstructions, but I've always bounced back. I can't compete like I used to as a triathlete and am looking for my next sport. Change the energy

Funny you say that because I was just reading about PLF. I may be putting my tax return to work in the spring. Change the energy

Now that's what I needed to hear. I really can't jump hard at all since I've lost a lot of cartilage. You may have answered my question. Right now I can't jump down from 5 feet. Change the energy

So I've been entertaining the idea of learning how to skydive but haven't been able to commit...yet. I have gone tandem twice over the summer and enjoyed it, but the idea of having to learn how to control my canopy is my greatest fear and landing; I have two bad knees from running injuries. I'm a scuba diver and I feel a lot of similarities between the two sports, but skydiving is certainly exponentially faster. I guess my question is how do I get over this fear and what was your deciding factor to commit? Change the energy
