skycamefalling 0 #2 June 27, 2010 Well depending on which method you decide to go with for your training. You can do AFF, IAD or Static Line. There are some DZ's that offer package deals that will get you through your AFF and all of your jumps to get your A license and then there are DZ's that do not. Use the Dropzone link to find ones around you and make some phone calls on pricing. Even better, make a day of it and go visit a few DZ's, talk with the locals to to see what kind of vibes you get. Cuz ya never know, you might be out there jumping sooner than you think Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on the time spent skydiving other toys really could be sold. Case in point is my bass boat. It's definitely been getting less attention than before. The meaning of life . . . is to make life have meaning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
