Magistr8 0 #1 June 15, 2003 Getting my Solo.I was reading another post here and saw that Luna just got her A. Good Job. I am sitting here practicing in the mirror my body position in the hope that the jumps I do this weekend will bring me that much closer to my A. At the rate I am going I figure I could have my Solo in maybe 5 or 6 more jumps if all goes well. As I sit here writing this I am realizing that not only does skydiving bring me extreme happiness but it gives me so much more energy to do things that I other wise would normally just put off till the next day or not do at all.

dropdeded 0 #3 June 15, 2003 I was telling a buddy thats goin through aff what an experience it is to do that first solo. He says hes gettin video of it. I tried to explain how it feels to be alone, in the air, no camera flyer, just you, that first time. I said go for the video but it will be a completely different experience without ANYONE up there with you. dropdeded------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aero04 0 #6 June 15, 2003 Good Job!! Just wait for that first solo. It is an incredible feeling just falling by yourself, feeling the feelings of freefall, looking down on clouds, words simply can't describe it. QuoteAs I sit here writing this I am realizing that not only does skydiving bring me extreme happiness but it gives me so much more energy to do things that I other wise would normally just put off till the next day or not do at all. Yep, skydiving has a way of doing that. Pretty cool, huh!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magistr8 0 #8 June 15, 2003 I'm pretty confident that everything will go well with my premiere pack job. What is a makes me a little nervous is the riding of the slide that I am going to need to do to get my A. Weather looks good today, Here is the forecast for the day. Hopefully I'll get 3 jumps in and be that much closer. I need the vibes. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."
