skymama 37 #2 September 13, 2016 Welcome to the forums! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSher 0 #3 September 13, 2016 I went to watch a DZ this weekend and felt high as a kite for two days after. I don't smoke, do drugs and only had 5 beers the whole day. The new students went up on SL and 5-seconds and I almost died watching them exit from the ground. Back for sure... There is still lots of time to learn it..

skymama 37 #4 September 13, 2016 Only 5 beers. Yeah, you're a skydiver! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome back, would love to hear some of the stories you have! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenePetri 0 #7 September 14, 2016 Who are you, where did you jump before, and how many jumps did you have? Maybe someone here remembers you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazydaisy315 0 #8 September 14, 2016 Our DZ rule is "firsts". Anything you do for the first time calls for a case of beer. Under advisement, I've started calling my firsts "pre-seconds", lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSher 0 #9 September 14, 2016 I'm transplanted from Europe. In my "formative years" of skydiving I used to go to Centro De Paracaidisimo Costa Brava (Skydive Spain) and had AFF with Mitch Decautau among others. Those days were awesome. However, I had several Real life challenges that impaired my skydiving (and soccer) career. I was on/off for a while, but could not maintain the # of jumps and it all died away. Now I have the time and only needs my wife to endorse it to avoid family issues. I am a very determined SOB, so I believe it will happen WITH her permission and not against. I'm willing to trade stuff like, the new car brand and new paint on house. With regards to the beer. Some of the fun thing with that is the "justification and burden" of providing free to others and the vigilance to enforce these rules for the betterment of the collective. There is still lots of time to learn it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
