  1. Jeff - Congratulations!! Good to see another "newbie" finish their AFF - gives me somehting to look forward to. Now if I could just decide on the multiple weekend days @ Lodi vs. 2 weeks @ Perris, I'll get started too. Blue skies.....
  2. Greetings... I have done my first tandem jump and am getting ready to start my AFF training (now that I'm hooked on skydiving). My questions are as follows: 1) which would you recommend for AFF training - a small school (like 2 instructors and a Cessna 182) or something like Perris or Skydive AZ? I live in rural northern California and did the tandem from a small DZ, but am reconsidering the AFF training somewhere else. 2) reguardless of school size - would you recommend a 2 week intensive course at a DZ for the AFF training or go to the DZ once every other weekend for as long as it takes? Just curious as to others opinions. I've already read JUMP! and just started reading Skydivers Handbook. Can't wait to get back in the air
  3. Greetings from a newbie. My name is Bruce and I took my first jump (tandem) yesterday. I haven't stopped thinking/talking about it since then. Nothing I've done before can compare to the pure adrenelain rush I felt during and AFTER the jump. Just ordered the book "Jump!" - any others you'd recommend to a new skydiver enthusiast? Due to the impending change in weather and the 1 jump (min) per 30 days once student status started, I'll probably have to wait till next spring to start training - maybe I can talk my wife into another tandem jump before then. My other interests include training in Ed Parkers Kenpo Karate, rock crawling with 4x4's, camping, hiking, water and snow skiing and about to try scuba. I am married and father of 3 kids (1 girl and 2 boys) and enjoy living in Redding, CA (about 160 miles due north of Sacramento). Still can't believe I really did it
