    if he was not rated coach he shouldn't spread information that was not accurate or whatever and that's when people got hurt. This is what my instructor told me and it is always true. If he was a rated coach then it was a different story and at this point I agree with you @Nabz! before a unrated guy told me how to execute eps even before my AFF and it was wrong. I was glad I didn't jump. Experienced or not experienced it doesn't matter even most experienced skydiver could have packing errors and cause a cutaway.

    Johnrich, please stop telling others how to execute EPs. you are not a rated instructor. He needs to ask his instructor at his local DZ.

    Good afternoon! So my mom is coming to the United States in several days and I will have a conversation with her about skydiving. I don't know what will happen, but there will be only two consequences: 1) my mom doesn't allow me to go. I go myself and ignore what she says. I have savings and can pay. 2) my mom agrees, (probably hesitantly), and I get family support. I've saved some money to do AFF level 1 and FJC, and i'm getting a job if I want to keep doing AFF after. But I want her to support me, so any tips on how to talk to her??

    dirt means there is dirt in the landing area & runway.

    Hi fellows, when I opened Google Map I accidentally found another DZ near Perris--Skydive Elsinore. It seems like AFF at Elsinore is cheapter than Perris...and someone says there is dirt at Elsinore, or different vibes..a lot of different comments and different perspectives. i don't know. Anyway, any suggestions?

    wait,,so skydiving can really differenciate ourselves??? especially when we apply for college?? wow i don't know that
  12. David Wang
    I always think the same! lol !
  13. David Wang
    I mean I do not have control of that card right now!! So I only have some savings right now lol
  14. David Wang
    I can pay now...I can even buy my own rig after AFF.... but the thing is that my mom won't agree with me. that is the problem.
  15. David Wang
    Thanks for your advice! I will think about that.
  16. David Wang
    lol thanks bro!
  17. David Wang
    not a credit card! a debit card, lol. Thanks for the advice!

    Thanks! yes maybe I will try fjc & level 1 first. Then I will purchase that AFF A licence package in college! I have some money in another card but right now it's not under my control but it will. In college If I do AFF I will go jump every weekend!!
  19. David Wang
    That is a good idea!! Thanks!!

    does the USPA website say if students do not maintain currency they need to jump once with direct supervision? but not drop down a level?
  21. David Wang
    Also I'm planning to do AFF level 1 & FJC...not AFF package, that's from level 2. I need to pass level 1 first i think...they are separated.
  22. David Wang
    Hi! Thanks for your reply. I don't think I need to jump every 30 days if I do AFF at Perris.. maybe I need to maintain currency at Elsinore I guess.... But you are right! Learning to skydive is a big commitment! So sad I'm still in school..money will be an issue if I jump without my family support.
  23. David Wang
    yeah I agree we can learn from mistakes in videos!
  24. David Wang
    This is a kinda interesting story... I managed to jumped twice at Perris without telling my mom... I'm still a high school student and I'm getting a part-time job. My mom finally knew this week. I wanna do AFF in next a few weeks and it seems like I have some difficulties talking to my mom about skydiving..so if she doesn't agree I will just go by myself...but I will just do AFF level 1 & FJC without videos. it's expensive!!!!! But it will be a pity bc it will be my first solo jump. Blue skies.
