Amazon 7 #7 February 9, 2005 Hmm Its not that bad when its cold.. If you get started now.. you can be progressing nicely when it does get warm.. just choose the best days...and go for it.. The Static Line progression keeps you down low for a while yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salsa_John 0 #10 February 14, 2005 Welcome to the Family. Newbie here too. Had a real problem with arching and landing. All it took was some good coaching and some practice and now I have my A License. Come to Florida. The weather is 73 today. My instructors encouraged me to not quit when I was having bad landings. I am glad I kept on. Blue Skies "You did what?!?!" MUFF #3722, TDSM #72, Orfun #26, Nachos Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigerclaw 0 #12 February 15, 2005 Welcome Becky! I'm a fellow newb. Five AFF's . It's a bit too cold to jump here in Virginia, too. If you have the time/money, try a warmer drop zone Or...... ya might wanna ask around about Tunnel Time. Most of our "Seniors" highly recommend it ( Right Guys/Gals ?) I'm hoping to do some tunnel time AND Jump in Florida in late March. By the time I get back, it should be almost warm enough to get some jumps in at my regular DZ..
