EAPD202

AllisonH, thanks for the reply, I think im gonna save up for SL. I just found the forum search option and did some more reading and i think it will be the best option for me. It does not matter to me if it takes longer than AFF to get my license cause either way ill still be jumping and im quite sure training will be a blast so im in no hurry to speed the training along. Thanks again guys

Thanks for the replies, I still have not decided which way to go for my training but I have awhile to decide cause its gonna take me some time to save the cash not to mention its late in the year (Im in Illinois) so most DZ's around me probablly wont be open much longer anyway, although jumping during snow fall sounds cool as shit. Part of why I asked for your opinions is cause cheaper is cheaper and im not made of money lol but also which way would make me a better skydiver, i can save the extra cash for AFF if its going to make me better trained. Love this sport its a perfect activity for an adrinalin junkie like me lol and I cant wait to get back out there and start training.

Hey all, Ive only done 2 tandem jumps so I dont know anything and dont claim to but want to learn and am saving money now for A license training. What id like to know is which training method do you guys prefer/suggest? Static Line, or AFF. the place I plan on going for training has a $1000.00 diference in price and im trying to decide which to save up for. Thanks in advance.

From a fellow newbie's point of view, I just did my second tandem jump in July and let me tell you that it is very true what everyone on here say's that you see so much more on the 2nd jump. My first jump was great, but I dont remember much, I was just completely sensory overloaded and had alot of trouble even breathing which looked funny as hell on the video lol. But on my 2nd jump I was not only able to see alot more but I was able to breath quite easily, and even felt very self aware. I remember acually thinking about how I was arching during freefall and had enough presence of mind that I could think. Now im hooked and once I have the cash Im going to start my classes and get my A license and from there my goal is to get my D license eventually. If you never do a 3rd jump, def atleast do a 2nd you will not regret it.
