Thanks John! I saw some cool helmets with face shields on the licensed jumpers on our load that I kind of wish I couldve used to enjoy my jump more (but the obvious safety reasons restrict that). Cest La Vie But I notice you are an instructor at Kapowsin! I did my jump at Snohomish today, maybe I'll come down there for my next jump

I guess I'll just chalk it up to nerves, adrenaline and sun exposure. Really though it felt hard to breath (at least with my mouth open) as the air was being rammed into my nose and mouth (I had to breath through my teeth as the video instructed). Thinking about hitting the static line next time to see if I've got the guts to be the one who bails out at 14 thousand... Not sure how I'm going to afford this hobby in a long term scenario

Hi everyone! I am proud to say that after many years of wanting to take the plunge, I did so today (tandem)!! It was not like anything I could have expected (and trust me I tried to figure out what it was going to be like via the www). Here's the thing: It's hours later and I feel extremely out of it. I feel weak, exhausted, and quite honestly dazed. Is this the adrenaline wearing off from a very 'extreme sport' experience or could I be suffering from some sort of altitude sickness or something crazy like that? I did feel like I was having trouble getting good breaths due to the rushing air during free fall. Any help, reassurance, or advice would be really appreciated!!
