CraigSA 0 #3 January 6, 2003 Hi Yes I have done only 2 jumps started in December and then the DZ closed for the year how nice.They open the weekend and we plan at least 4 jumps so we can get the SA static line course drill over with and try the real skydiving when we actually get trusted enough to open the canopy alone. hehehe Will say and do as I please.

slotperfect 7 #6 January 6, 2003 Welcome. You will be around a long time if you continue to recognize and accept that our sport has inherent dangers. Respect them, train to handle them regularly, and you will be very safe at what you do. It will even rub off on others. Enjoy our forums!

skymama 37 #7 January 6, 2003 Hi and welcome to the forums. You picked the best sport for relaxation! It picks me up when I'm feeling down, and it makes me even more happy when I'm already feeling good. I hope you get to jump a lot more soon.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CraigSA 0 #11 January 7, 2003 Well I just wanna say thanks to all the wonderful welcomes and I hope that I will still spend many hours in the forums. I jump at Nylstroom in SA and the DZ is named Xtreme Skydiving so the weekend has been cancelled but we will at least go for a jump at worst. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluefingers 0 #12 January 7, 2003 No Gerb, they don't know me .... yet but the skydiving community in SA is so small I'm bound to bump into them at some stage or another .... Welcome CraigSA and your mate Xtreme SA! I jump at PPC in Maritzburg .... so if you're ever in the area .... Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CraigSA 0 #13 January 7, 2003 Well great to actually meet someone from SA and well once we get all the necessary jumps we will travel and jump all over since I hear Cape Town is an awesome jump I will try that.I won't forget Maritzburg maybe that could also be fun but at some stage I wanna do a beach landing Will say and do as I please.
