Fireflyer 0 #1 April 16, 2003 Well, you all sucked one more newbie into the fold. I got a Tandem jump in and I am jumping again for AFF L1 on Saturday the 26th! I am very excited to get started in my certification to get my license! From the first few moments, skydiving has replaced my fave "extreme sports" - mt. biking and snowboarding. They seem like just plain old sitting on the couch by comparison! Thanks in advance for all the info I plan to suck off the site!. I' be sure to post after I get a few in!!!

nightjumps 1 #7 April 16, 2003 1. Once addicted; be prepared to spend half your income and all your weekends at the drop zone. 2. Sell the snowbaords and mountain bikes, you're gonna need the money. 3. You won't lose your girlfriend, you'll only lose your turn. 4. Be prepared to buy lotsa beer... We have a lot of beer offenses. 5. You are about to embark on a journey that few take and stay with - as a result we are a very tight family circle. 6. Our family is dysfunctional. We can hate each other this week and next week, all is fine. And, while we can hate each other, let some non-skydiver say something bad about a family member. Welcome to the family Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamsville 0 #8 April 16, 2003 Skymama, do you ever feel as if you are standing at the door of a large banquet hall, trying to say hello to everyone who arrives? |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane. Harry, FB #4143 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #9 April 16, 2003 QuoteSkymama, do you ever feel as if you are standing at the door of a large banquet hall, trying to say hello to everyone who arrives? Lol, yes, but I don't mind at all! I figure as the "host" greenie of the forum, it's my duty to welcome everyone and make them feel comfortable. I'd hate for someone to be standing on the side of the room having no one talk to them. Plus, the one time I missed someone, I got complaints!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
Raefordite 0 #10 April 17, 2003 You picked a good time of the year to start learning! Tandem is a great way to be introduced to the sport. Have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fireflyer 0 #11 April 17, 2003 hey well thank you all. as i am involved in other extreme sports (nothing as i said like falling from a perfectly good airplane!), i appreciate the support! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cava 0 #12 April 17, 2003 Welcome new sky person. OF COUSE you find skydiving far superior to other sad excuses for excitement, such as snowboarding. I myself decided that getting into snowboarding (after growing up on skis) would be the new escape for me. I went two or three times, started skydiving, and haven't bought a rip-off lift ticket since. Beware the new addiction you are heading for. You will think about jumping more than sex. That is not a joke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
