hey gang, just wanted to say hi to everyone. I will be making my first ever jump on Saturday and I have been riding a wave of adrenaline for about a week now that shows no signs of abating. thanks to everybody involved with Dropzone.com, it has been an invaluable resource from the moment I decided to voluntarilly jump out of a perfectly good aircraft;)
I hope I enjoy this as much as I think I will! Hopefully I can work through the progressions and get certified before too long! I f anybody wants to share their first time tips or experiences Ill will be glad to read them. See yall at the dropzone!!!!!!!!

Hi Grendel,

I have only had one tandem so far so I can only give you so much advice. From my experience all I can say is don't think about actually jumping out of the airplane too much. That's what I did and I made myself really nervous. The tandem masters will make you feel as comfortable as they can and remember all tandem masters are professionals. If your like me once you actually get out of the airplane you are going to feel something you have never felt before, pure freedom!! Have fun!!

Welcome to SKYDIVING! I'm a newbie myself having just completed my first IAD this past week, and oh what a tremendous experience. The only tip I have is make safety a top priority, and listen intently to your instructors. I wish you blue skies and a safe return! God Bless.
