Divinfool 0 #1 August 31, 2011 Feel like a crack addict... Took my first tandem and just had to get back up there. Just completed my Level 1 ground school for AFF at Deland and have been waiting for the weather to cooperate for my first solo (hopefully Th.)...extremely stoked. In the past, I have been involved in all the crazy sports like motocross, spearfishing and diving for many years and finally found a sport that surpasses the adrenaline rush of the stalk of a big fish or a shark in your face. Now....how do I rationalize my gear purchases to my wife??! Fear is the thief of dreams..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Divinfool 0 #3 August 31, 2011 Thanks! After checking out several DZ's, IMHO Deland was tops. My 1st jump was cancelled twice because of marginal winds...I'm ok with that. Like my dad used to say "Discretion is the better part of valor" lol Looking forward to meeting you and the Deland crew as well.... everyone I have met so far has been great.

Then proceed to spend the next month or more on the couch with a big bottle of jergens. Done. *oh and welcome! I totally know that crack addict feeling, all I can think about now is the weekend.The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's way safer to have color coordinated gear right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
