Cari 0 #1 July 18, 2008 I finally did it! I've wanted to for so long and did a tandem jump yesterday at Chicagoland Skydiving Center! It was awesome. I think that it was the beginning of a new addiction! Anyway, hi everyone. I'm Cari! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cari 0 #7 July 19, 2008 I didn't even know what AFF was until yesterday. I really am very very new to all of this. I am doing AFF starting on the next one. I was going to this time, but I opted for one more tandem because my nerves were getting the best of me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunt_Joshua_G 0 #8 July 22, 2008 I'm loving this sport already. I only have 1 jump so far but wil be doing my second jump first AFF in about 2 weeks.

Douggarr 6 #9 July 22, 2008 As for the addiction skydiving is like legal crack. A lot safer, however. I bought a parachute after 3 jumps.SCR-442, SCS-202, CCR-870, SOS-1353 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cari 0 #10 July 23, 2008 I've already been looking at gear to get some prices since I really had no idea. For all I knew, full gear could have been $50 or $50,000! I'm going to start asking more experienced people for advice on this so that I can get set up as soon as I actually have the money for it (probably not until next year sometime). It really is like crack.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millertime24 8 #11 July 23, 2008 Gear tends to run from 2k for a decent used rig to 6k for a nice new one. All depends.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
