Can someome please tell me where I can go to learn all the "slang" you guys use here? What's a "flower" exit? Is there another word you guys call "slang" as I am calling it right now? Being THIS new can be painful sometimes and I really hate to bug you all with my question. Is there a Skydiver's Dictionary some where that I can read?Please help a girl out???

Quote I have 7 jumps to my credit now, and have recently completed AFF Level 6 (I had to repeat Level 3 because I couldn't turn correctly during freefall and also landed in someone's back yard--embarassing, but a funny story to share). That is SO funny landing in someones back yard. I want details! I'm very new...just two tandems ( and a few more for sure until I can get this breathing thing down) I have learned a lot just being here
-
Oh my god that was SO funny! Thanks for the laugh
-
ahhh static line...i have read about it. i think i am already too hooked on that freefall feeling to do that tho...after all, isn't that the best part? i wish it lasted a lot longer.soon as the door slides open i don't even want to wait for the guys on the floor to go first...am i sick?
-
Again, Thanks again everybody. I only have two tandems and I feel right at home here already I'm just not sure what SL is...but congrats!!!

Thanks. I'll be around!

Quote"Well depending on where you live and do your training" I'm in sunny southern california. i live in orange county but the two times i jumped i drove to san diego.i really liked those people so i plan to keep going there. " you don't need to get brand new gear.... Used gear can run $1k - 4k depending on what you want." at this point i have no idea what i want but i'm studying up. "once you get settled in its not to bad. I try to make a couple jumps every weekend so I normally spend $200 a month." ahhhh, i can't wait to get to that point!

I'm in a little over 10k this year alone... Quote10K???? did you have to buy a plane too? of course i have no idea what anything costs yet...now you are scaring me.

oh my gosh, thank you everybody SO much for responding! the part about screaming "i can't breath!" made me laugh and i will try it for sure. and thank you knewman for letting me know i'm not the only one. i feel better already! more then likely i'll jump again next month ( i think of the cost as a bill i'll have every month like the rent, car payment) until i get this down, own my own chute and skydive happily ever after

o.k. i did 1 tandem and thought i was going to die because of the air "forced" into my lungs. i could not for the life of me breath or take my hands off my mouth/nose until they chute was pulled.i mean i REALLY thought i was going to die.i was pulling on the harness? ( see how new i am.lol) trying to get it off of me. i was trying to turn around to get my face out of the wind.the poor guy on my back...so anyway, the chute opens.....i am IN LOVE with what i was doing. all i could do was think about jumping on my own. so...i go again determind to get over the breathing thing. i LOVE when you first jump out but bamb! the wind again. this time i knew i wasn't going to die and that that part would be over fast and i loved the rest even more. but what in the world is happening to me? has anyone ever heard of this? i am so frustrated because all i wanna do is jump on my own.
