Starting after winter...

Recommended Posts

Hi!

Well, after 6 long months, I just had jump 16 (recurrency)! And what a beautiful day for it! Gawd, the last 6 months felt like forever... I tumbled a couple of times after a mediocre diving exit, but regained my balance, a few 360s later and there I am under canopy, quick pattern then on the ground... yah! I just felt so good about it (thanks Andreas and Jumptown, MA!) that I had to share... share your stories here if you'd like also!

Blue skies indeed!

Was going to vote for "inner skier," but we hardly had a winter at all - skiing in the US was no good.

Yes, it was a long wait! 4 months here. Nailed my refresher dive, and have been embarrassing myself on every dive since since :$

Where's the "Buy some insulated clothes, & keep jumping all winter/Boobies!" option? B|

That option was left back in September. Even in So.Cal.

Hi.

Trust me when I say I am RIGHT there with you and I know that 6 months is forever in a way.

I'm just finishing up a year long tour in Afghanistan with the military and it's been 145 days since my last jump.

I did 16 jumps at the half way mark and I was in heaven but I still have over 30 days before I can jump again and I definitely plan to move to an area where jumping is an every day thing.

My advice is, first, do what will be good for you in the long run but after that, it's all about location, location, location.
