JMC 0 #1 September 10, 2001 Saturday I made my first jump. That was awesome!! 50+ seconds of free fall at 120 mph. I wish I would have done it a long time ago. Can't wait to jump again........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msdeva 0 #2 September 10, 2001 Congratulations!Welcome to our world Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JMC 0 #3 September 10, 2001 Thanks. They wanted me to do a couple of tandems first but I figured you only make your first jump once so I went straight to AFF. I never thought I would enjoy it so much.

Start saving your nickels now, this fun stuff is expensive! Hope you're not married SKYDIVING GAVE ME A REASON TO LIVE.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites msdeva 0 #5 September 10, 2001 I'm glad it turned out well. I, too, did AFF first. However, I still recommend tandems first. The freak-out factor is too great for me to recommend AFF first. I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I did either - but I'm an addict now!!!Where did you do your first jump?

I have a prior commitment this weekend but will try to jump next weekend for sure.
