EndlessEcko 0 #1 July 26, 2008 Hey, I'm Chris, and I just jumped for the first time 3 days ago. It was the most amazing thing I have experienced. I can see why you all love this sport! I am going back this week and sign up for the certification classes and jumps. Be Safe! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labrys 0 #2 July 26, 2008 Hi Chris. Welcome to skydiving. Your post makes it sound as though you did a tandem, is that correct? Enjoy the class and the extra bonus that comes with doing it on your own. It's a whole 'nother animal. Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EndlessEcko 0 #3 July 26, 2008 yes, I did a tandem. I went out for my brother's birthday and now I can't wait to go back! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EndlessEcko 0 #6 July 26, 2008 I'm going to do AFF. I know the DZ I jumped at has a program that is a 10 jump program. But I also know that for a class A it takes at least 25 jumps. What are jumps 11-24 considered? I'm really looking forward to this! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunt_Joshua_G 0 #7 July 26, 2008 From what I have read so far after your AFF training I think you have to do like 6 Coach jumps. Unsupervised Solo Freefall C8 Clear & Pull from 5000' C9 Fall Rate Drills C10 Docking with Fall Rate Drills C11 Dive to Dock C12 And A License Check dive and ground review with Chief Instructor. Thats what I have found so far."When the people look like ants-PULL, When the ants look like people-PRAY." "Only skydivers know why the birds sing."

SkyPainter 0 #8 July 27, 2008 Hi! Welcome to the sky! Same thing happened to me when I jumped! Everyone else chickened out, so I went alone. AMAZING time! I am waiting for the weather here to break so I can start AFF in Pepperell, MA. Need to coordinate my schedule with the S&TAs, and have the whacked-out New England weather cooperate! Looks like the FJC and maybe first jumps will be AUG 7, 10 and 11. CAN'T WAIT! It has only been a few weeks post-tandem, and I am getting REALLY itchy to get back up there and jump! Buy the SIM, and read it like the Bible! Welcome again, and Safe Landings!
