MochaSkyChick 0 #1 October 27, 2003 I just had to share these two pictures. The first is my very first jump ever. (I was a tad nervous) The second is jump # 224. Why 224? Because I like this picture. Anybody else have their skydiving before & after pics? PMS #62 Zarza R[red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuchulinn 0 #2 October 27, 2003 They say a picture is worth a thousand words and if these two pictures don't tell a story... none will! Great shots!!! Thanks for sharing! SMA#18 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #3 October 27, 2003 BWAAAAHHHHHH! I love it, great picture. I always love it when I film tandems and they make great faces like that for the video. I have footage of a girl screaming so loud in freefall it sounds like she is right next to you on the ground.

hooked 0 #7 October 27, 2003 Absolutely priceless on the first pic! Did you really think it was that 'scary' or was it just being in the 'door' for the first time?

MochaSkyChick 0 #8 October 27, 2003 QuoteAbsolutely priceless on the first pic! Did you really think it was that 'scary' or was it just being in the 'door' for the first time? I think I just got myself all worked up on the ride to altitude then actually seeing people leave the plane before me....One second they were there, the next the were gone! Yeah, I think I nearly dropped a brick when we actually got to the door. PMS #62 Zarza R[red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tee 0 #10 October 27, 2003 The first pic is HILARIOUS! Now that is a death grip on your harness if I have ever seen one. Too bad you don't have a pic of when you landed, obviously there must have been one heck of a smile if you kept coming back....perhaps it was that 5th attachment that changed your mind.

misskriss 0 #11 October 27, 2003 That first pic is GREAT!!!! This is my first tandem... Kept my eyes closed the entire way...LOL Did not open them until my feet hit the ground Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selbbub78 0 #12 October 27, 2003 that's awesome! I know i'm amused with the videos people have taken of my earlier jumps compared to the one i did yesterday. Of course it's still awful, but awesome pics.

smiles 0 #16 October 27, 2003 hey, your pics are absolutely preciousyou have so much to be proud for, and those 1st.'s will live on forever in your life. thanx, for sharing- you have got me digging away for my hidden stash of 1st. log book and pics. Why did they get hidden away???????? It is so sweet to recall now looking at my first "real" ripcord pull- damn was I one pumping proud lady! Everything just went so well- exactly as planned right down to saving my handle, and excellent landing (round/ reserve on belly- 1987) Then a simple kiss pass on my 1000th. made my jump-- and I beamed enough to last a lifetime SMiles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #17 October 27, 2003 This is the best post I have seen in..., like forever. I have SO enjoyed these fotos. Absolutely CLASSIC and should be framed. No doubt. I will put my 1st here.

LouDiamond 1 #19 October 27, 2003 This girl screamed the entire jump and it was so loud it could be heard on the video. You be the judge and decide if she was having fun. She claims she had a blast once we were on the ground, I guess that's all that counts."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut 0 #20 October 27, 2003 wow wish i could say i had that big a change from jump 1 to 244......... maybe someday when i'm flying cirrlce around the sky (controlled circle) on my head we can compare some of my early sitflying to the awsom hd i will someday do and it will be as big a difference. rock on!!!!! ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #21 October 27, 2003 DUDE!!! WTF? That is scary. There must be a cypress in there with your lunch and bed roll. You dont look too worried. Green is definitely your color but I think you over did the accessories. Just a pop of color, yes a yellow scarf would have been better. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
