CaneSpider 0 #1 July 2, 2003 Hi everybody! I'm from North Carolina! Isn't that VEIRD?! Sorry, bad Goldmember reference. Anyway, my name is Steve, I'm 25, and I'm hopefully making my first jump on July 16th or 17th, at Skydive Carolina in Chester, SC. I'm excited but also nervous as crap. I'm also planning on making a AFF jump, instead of a tandem like the others I'm going with. I feel like this might be something that I really will love, and doing the AFF jump, I feel will help me to progress faster. I'm so freaking jacked up about my first jump, I've had skydiving dreams like 5 nights in a row now. I wouldn't be surprised if I have them for the next couple weeks straight at this rate. Over half my group I'm going with to jump has already backed out, so I'm feeling excited that I'm 'tougher' I guess. Anyway, any advice on AFF jumps or tips on a first jump would be much appreciated. Seeya. Skydiving is my affirmation of life. it's good to know God still needs me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raefordite 0 #9 July 3, 2003 Hello CaneSpider! Welcome to the sport. I am sure that Danny Smith and his gang will take good care of you in Chester. Tell them Kate from Raeford says hello! AFF is a cool way to learn. Just be patient and alert during your training and I am sure you will do fine. Keep us posted and let us know how you are doing as you experience skydiving for the first time. blue skies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I moved to NC recently, and have visited Chester...its a nice dz, big landing area, and they took the time to show me a map (its a big triangle!) when I asked for one. Good luck!
