omnia 0 #1 August 13, 2007 Hi all, New to skydiving and new here... Did my first tandem one month ago and have not stopped thinking about it since. Did another tandem this past Friday. As my friend and I were in the car leaving (she did her first), I suddenly realized I was not ready to go home quite yet, so we turned back and each did one more. I am super addicted. I don't have the money or time for this and have been trying to rationalize my way out of signing up for AFP, but theres no way thats happening now. I can't even drive w/o looking at the sky and thinking "I belong there". Hopefully, I will be starting AFP next Friday, as long I will be able to get off work early enough...will find out tomorrow and am crossing my fingers... I have been lurking here since my first jump and finally decided to give in and post...so hi everyone :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RALFFERS 0 #5 August 13, 2007 I'll Have to agree with ShortyJ-you got it BAAAAAAD! Join the club; this is the most addictive (and most fun) thing I have ever gotten involved in. Mind you, I'm a baby in this sport, just like you, but have already noticed great things outside of jumping in what we do, hang around the dropzone long enough and you'll see what I mean Welcome to the sport! P.S. I noticed you said AFP, and not AFF-did you by chance jump at Skydive Chicago?
