w4p2 0 #1 April 22, 2003 Hi everybody You have just got a new active "green horn" to this site. I have been interested of skydiving for long time. Actually I started a course in Finland in mid 80s, but had to pull out due to the request of my kids. Well, the kids are grownups now, and maybe I reach that state someday. While waiting that to happen, and being sill 47 years young, I have booked on S/L course starting as soon as I get back to dry land. I have been a frequent visitor to this site for long time, but now that I am actually starting the sport, I decided to change from the status of passive visitor to active participant. This site has contributed a lot towards the future safety of my skydiving. Familiarity with issues such as dangers of the low turns, situation awareness, up wind / down wind landings etc will assist me in the training and hopefully pave my way in becoming a safe member of the fraternity. I also hope that the mature and responsible line of discussion will continue on these pages. There a lot of us youngsters out there reading this site, learning, wondering and adopting attitudes. Thank you for now......I hope to contribute in the future. Juha Lehtonen Lsv Seaway Condor *** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

covey 0 #4 April 22, 2003 Welcome to the wonderful world of posting!! Glad to see you are picking up on some of the knowledge floating around here. There is a lot to consume. Must feed the grey sponge between our ears. Have fun on your S/L progression, and all the jumps afterwards. Believe those who are seeking truth. Doubt those who find it. -Andre Gide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
