Scary story Dave!!! Glad you are still around to tell it!!! Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us. Believe those who are seeking truth. Doubt those who find it. -Andre Gide

Hello Adam. I am new to the sport too. I just finished my eleventh jump Sunday. Jumps 8-10 were off student status but with a group doing RW. I switch from rip cord to boc on number 11. So I decided to treat it like a AFF 1 jump. It was also going to be completely solo for the first time. I was really nervous going up to altitude. That little hacky handle must have had the color worn off of it from me grabbing it so many times on the way up. When the door call came my stomach was in my throat. After the exit everything was back to normal though. After I completed the PRCPs I only noticed one thing really different, how lonely it was. It was still a great skydive there just wasn't anyone else too look at. Kind of like when you solo an airplane for the first time. After you get you refresher out of the way and see that you can still do it you will do fine i'm sure. Hopefully you will get blues skies this weekend and you can work on this hurdle some more. Good luck. Perhaps we will meet at a DZ someday. Believe those who are seeking truth. Doubt those who find it. -Andre Gide

Hello Brokeneagle!! Understand you had and John had some business to take care of last Sunday. I can't wait for Saturday. Let me know what time we need to meet on Saturday, I will be there!!!!! Believe those who are seeking truth. Doubt those who find it. -Andre Gide

I can't wait to get my A license. One of my goals is to jump all the DZs within driving distance. So I will definitely try and pay you guys a visit. I have to get rid of my other hobby stuff to purchase a beginners rig. Then I will be set. I just got my helmet and altimeter in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to use them this weekend.

Thanks for the welcome. We are always learning. It isn't that impressive that I was able to get done with the AFF in one weekend. I had great instructors that explained everything very well. That along with all the support from the other jumpers that weekend. We did the ground school on Friday and that helped out a lot. That way we just had to do a review of everything the next morning. I am having a ball and can't wait to get back in the air. Believe those who are seeking truth. Doubt those who find it. -Andre Gide

Hello everyone. This is my first post. There was a slight break in the weather here weekend before last. Which enabled me to do my AFF in one weekend. I did my graduation jump last Sunday. Hopefully we will get great wx this weekend cause I am totally addicted now. I did a tandem jump about 8 years ago and did the Airborne thing in the Army. It doesn't compare to freefall sport jumping. Can't wait to work on my A ticket more!!! Believe those who are seeking truth. Doubt those who find it. -Andre Gide
