Just wasting time between jumps

[chykynlyps 0]

Hello DZ.com, my name is Rich. I just did my first solo and can no longer really think about much else. I am literally just burning through the minutes until I get to jump again. I jump at Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Hinkley, IL. I have tons of questions. Most of which will go in their appropriate threads. Lots of newbie stuff. Boat drinks and blue skies!!!

Hey Rich, welcome to the forums!
Sounds like you're good and hooked huh? I'm sitting here burning to jump myself! This is a great resource to have your questions answered, just make sure you do a search as most of the newbie stuff has been asked already

Have fun around here!

cold weather months when you can't jump

What are those?

In Chicago any month between October and March. They suck for the most part, but the Bears play in those months so that makes up for our inability to jump out of airplanes.
