  1. So I was looking at a dating web site and one of the women had a bucket list on her profile and number 2 was go skydiving. So I figured what the hell and sent her a message “Hey I’m going skydiving this weekend your welcome to come. It would make a really good first date story and if it doesn’t work out you can tell the next guy he better make it good because you pushed the last guy out of an airplane.” Any way it worked were going Sunday. I’m going up Sat to do my AFF 6 and 7 jumps. If I understand correctly if I pass both then I should be able to jump on my own after that. I guess my question would be would I be able to exit at the same time as her with her TI or is that unlikely. It would be nice to see her face in free fall but I can under stand the hesitation of a TI letting me jump out at the same time. I know it will all probably depend on the TI and will defiantly have to ask just. I was curious if I could get an opinion here. Ideally if one of my AFFI on sat is also a TI I might ask him/her to be her TI for that jump that way I will have jumped with them before and thus increases the comfort level. Of course this is all contingent on me passing 6 and 7 tomorrow. I’m off to the tunnel to practice. Enter Funny thought Here

  4. [By the way, I purchased a SIM before I was originally scheduled to attend the FJC a couple of years ago. It's the 2009-2010 edition, but I am assuming there haven't been too many changes] There is an App for that and its free. Enter Funny thought Here

  9. Hey everyone. My name is Jamie, Aug 18th 2011 I was in ohio and tried to rollar coaster, I was not able too because I was too big for the seat belt to fit around me. It was a real wake up call for me, When I got back to colorado I started losing weight. In 6 months I have lost 100lbs and I am pleased that on Feb 18th I completed my AFF1 class and jump. It was so much fun and signed up for AFF2 march 3rd. I am definatly looking forward to learning as much as I can and getting involed in this sport. My current goal is to try to get my A by the End of may. Should be a fun time. Its funny on the trailer ride to the plane some of the othere guys told me I was smart for doing my AFF now. When I exited and the cold air hit me like a ton of bircks I did not feel that smart but I still had a lot of fun :) Enter Funny thought Here
