screechowl 0 #1 August 6, 2008 Did my first (tandem) jump a few weeks ago and want to do it again- but am still in awe of the whole thing. Yes, it was everything I thought it would be and so much more. Though I'm kicking myself for being so awestruck and frankly scared, especially before the chute opened. All I could babble after was amazing, wow, incredible. Now the rush has worn down a bit - it seems so odd that I was so fearful of something I wanted so much to try. Is that the norm or am I a wimp? Everyone else on the flight were lovey dovey young couple so iI felt like a 3rd wheel a bit -is that the usual? I don't have a sig other but don't want that to stop me. How do you choose the best place to join, learn or get your license? What should I look for? I live in Olympia, Washington. Kaposan seemed good, but I don't have any comparisons. Is the 4 page long document I signed absolving them of all liability the norm? Thanks for being patient, with what is probably old questions? I did a blog of the jump on my myspace page http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=188024419&blogID=412832199 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grannyinthesky 0 #2 August 6, 2008 One jump is all it takes to get hooked. I gather you jumped at Kapowsin, so you know the view there is terrific and Kapowsin is a great place to learn and jump. There are some fantastic instructors and fun people to jump with there. You don't need a S/O to have a good time, by the way. You will find lots of people to skydive with. Yes, the waiver is standard and sometimes there are even more pages. Have fun learning to jump. It just gets better and better. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!
