    The first DZ I jumped at was in the desert. We just put down a bunch of old carpet. Worked GREAT! "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-

    Skydiving changes lives. I have a woman friend that quite honestly had a life she wasn't sure she wanted to live. She started skydiving and loves her new life. I have found something in the sport as well that has become very much a part of my life. Congratulations! and welcome to the family.

    You are doing fine. It will happen. It just takes time. Look around and realize everyone else at the drop zone was a student when they started as well. Blue Skies "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -Groucho Marx- "Tom flies like a rock" -Tom Carson-

    I've got over 1,000 jumps on my Body Sport. I had two landings this last year so I put on knee pads and a but pad. The zipper finally gave out as well. So I'm look'n at another 1,000 jumps on it... oh, by the way... Why would anyone want booties on a camera suit?

    Hey, Bill has done over a hundred in a day at Lodi as well...... He charges less... if you want to pay less to jump you could drive there... I jump both Perris and Elsinore... both are great places with wonderful people. Hey, my 81 year old mom likes to hang out at Elsinore, Perris and Lodi...

    I worked construction. Pipe-Lay barges and work boats. Surface pops with just a few gas jumps. The best memories ever. Now, I find myself working as a project manager for a large millwork and fixture company in Los Angeles. Not near as rewarding..... I'm old so it's just a few scuba pops a year now.

    I suppose I could hunt something and kill it if I had to... but for me, it's more "live and let live"
