Jumping buddy

Recommended Posts

I'd be happy to jump w/ you but I'm in another state along with most of the people on this site. IMHO you will have better chances finding someone to jump w/ if you ask people at your DZ rather than asking on a web site that people from all over the world read. Just my 2 cents.

Im kind of shy. I do not like going up to people that have 500 jumps getting ready to do a 10 way.... Here I come wanting to do a little two way...... I could use some pointers with my freefall work.
The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

Why not, just ask people. If you're worried about that, grab some of the people doing 2 ways and stuff, ask them if you can lurk their dive. If they let you do that, you can probably get in on the RW later on. I jump @ SDHouston, usually, grab me and we can try some RW. I'm easy to find, I'm the big guy with 'Aggie Skydiving' across the front of my truck...oh, wait that was a different post... :D hahahaha, sorry, it's been one of those days...

Sorry, just got to this thread now.
If you want to do some 2-way sitflying or play around with some 2-way hybrid I'll be more than happy to jump with you. Just grab me.

Know the feeling. Just nose around for other solo jumpers to hang with. If there are none at your DZ, visit another DZ or two.
It's great hitting new DZs, they all their own vibe.

Hey Cyndi,
Derek and I might end up heading up your way for the 2nd and 3rd. We were going to do San Marcos, but I know he wouldn't have any fun since it would be all free fliers out there. So you better get the futon and the felines ready. :)Kelli

It's cool to do drill dives to work on skills. But at the same time, you only learn by doing (and screwing up a few times along the way -- God knows I have). Nobody worth jumping with will give you a hard time if you go low or miss a dock. The may give you pointers, but they shouldn't criticise you. Hell you're learning. But if you want to do RW, the best way to learn is to just get in there & do it (I think I got my SCR on like jump 30 or something). Same with freefly.
