skyesthelmt 0 #1 August 11, 2009 On my 25th birthday back in January, I decided to do something BIG, skydiving was the answer. I did my first tandem... and loved it. Couldn't wait to go again, so for Valentine’s day, my boyfriend took me and shot a video of the jump. In May I went on a tandem jump with him and knew at that point, I was basically done with Tandems... only I wasn't sure I had to courage to continue with a solo jump... He surprised me this last weekend and signed me up for my FJC at Elsinore. Being an instructor, I had a huge resource in him and used it to my advantage. We went over my SIM, I asked all the stupid questions over and over again… and then I attended the class. I completed my first jump on Sunday 8/9 at Elsinore... and it's safe to say, that to my parents disappointment... I will be jumping at every opportunity!! I surprised myself this weekend by going thru with the jump… and I loved every second of it. I’m still nervous about flying under canopy, but as Josh says, you’ll only get more comfortable with experience. Everyone at Elsinore is amazing… and made my first jump experience more memorable then I could have ever asked for!! We will definitely be a fixture at SDE on the weekends!!
