FrEaK_aCcIdEnT 0 #1 June 1, 2005 Well i have made my way in here many times. Now im registered and have decided to take the plunge. im hoping in the next month i can start my trainig. I have chosen Skydive Dallas as my place of education. I look forward to contributing to the forums in the future and cant wait to share my experiences with experts to give me guidence. my goal is to one day get into b.a.s.e. jumping. but understand that its not something u just jump into... Im not looking for the quick trip to b.a.s.e. Maybe in the next 5 years i plan to make that first b.a.s.e. jump. after many many skydive jumps. ExPeCt ThE uNeXpEcTeD! DoNt MiNd ThE tYpOs, Im LaZy On CoRrEcTiOnS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You were at TWS and you didn't even drop by the DZ to say hi while you were in town? How dare! Come on, Texas World Speedway is literally a 15 minute drive from Aggieland, you know that.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

mx757 4 #13 June 2, 2005 Dave, I wasn't at TWS my roommate races his CBR1000RR there... if I were 15 minutes from DZ i'd stopped bye for sure.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrEaK_aCcIdEnT 0 #14 June 5, 2005 does any feel that taking the AFF and the class A liscense training back to back in the same week is a bad thing? its hard for me to get time off at work and I am trying to work a deal so i can take one whole week off at work. Do u think it would be hard to get through both courses at the DZ in 5 days? At the DZ they said they have had people finish both in 5 days. I plan on staying in the bunkroom at the DZ so I can maxamize my time. I have also been told that it is best to take it all at once. ExPeCt ThE uNeXpEcTeD!

vamp 0 #15 June 7, 2005 My biggest question would be if you would physically be able to handle so many jumps in such a short time. If you're physically fit in general, maybe it would be a plan, but if you're a desk-sitter such as myself...wow. Then again, if there's a good massage therapist hanging at the drop zone....
