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
