skidiva 0 #1 December 9, 2005 Hi to all I am a 21 year old female, relatively new at the whole skydiving experience. Only 2 jumps under my belt, yet I am so addicted, it' unreal. because of the shortage of funds, I opted for the static line course, and new I'm counting the days so that I can start free-falling!At the moment I'm learning to pack,(packers licence is my top priority) so that i can start earning cash to support my habit. Oh, and i'm from Cape Town and would love to correspond with anyone who wants a pen pal.Mail me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skidiva 0 #9 December 11, 2005 Thanks for the reply, Skymama. Was wondering whether there are any oniline packing tutorials, videos or electronic format packing manuals that I could obtain. Based in Cape Town, South Africa, and there are major shortages in skydiving collateral. I've tried all the newsagents, and bookstores, but ALAS, none found!. I'm looking to subscribe to magazines. Would appreciate any feedback Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
