SkydiveNFlorida

Ditto. Mine were really bad at first. Now I still have some problems, but not nearly as bad. I had it where it'd last for almost a week when I started. If I feel at all stuffy I take sinus pills b4 jumping. Of course, i'm not sure whether to recommend this or not as they may have side effects (drowsiness, etc). Angela.

Skydiving is not safe. At least I do not consider it to be. Yes, most mistakes are human error... but, realisically, you will always have human error. And, be it yours or not it CAN kill you in this sport... easily. Angela.

Thanks all! Well, it was 3-way hd exit. My bf & a friend of his from Chicago named Harry. It was a fun jump for sure! I always have a blast on the hd exits!! I look somewhat retarded, but who cares!? lol! yeah, I think a 2-pc purple jumpsuit would definitely make the pic! You gotta camera, Ari? Come down to SoBe this wknd! Gonna be fun!! :D Nancy said the suit should be ready. I just sent it back to her for some alterations. Love the style, it is badass! Angela.

If those names I chose Jadyn. I think that Madeline is also nice, but not spelled with a 'y'. If you're going with a non-traditional spelling,... just go with a non-trad name, too. Angela.

This is a pic of me on a hd exit. I'm not excited or anything, k?! Angela.

I'm SUPER excited! Even more so than for the pm boogie. This is going to be SO cool! ***Anyone know what they'll have for FREE FOOD? Angela

It's all in good fun! I think some people enjoy it. I didn't do a tandem, but my aff instructor joked around like that. But, they should feel you out a bit and get your comfort level b4 scaring you, maybe. Congrads, girl! Love the story! Angela.

Happy b-day, Denise!! 400 is quite a year I must say!! But, so is 390, so, even if you don't make 20 jumps, who cares?! Take care of that shoulder, girly! Don't kill ur self in the name of jump #s! (note: must listen to my own advice more often:) ) cya at SoBe! Angela.

High: Just got my new ff suit and it rocks! Low: Need to have new ff suit altered cuz it appears it was made for a chick with a smaller derier. (This'll make ya feel chunky... lemme let you know.) Angela.

90ish, started in July 03' and have jumped at 4 dzs Hope this year is even better. I am aiming to have my 'c' license by June... I don't think that goal is too unreasonable. I'll may even have it before then

That has got to be THE stupidest thing i've read all year. . . well, I mean,... that's the stupidest thing i've had my boyfriend read to me all year.. being i'm a chick and can't read and all. Where are the instructions on posting this reply? Is my lipstick ok? tee hee. Angela.

well... elaborate?! What, slippery when wet? I like this one: That's cute.. ! Angela.

Wow... that is pretty crazy. Well, your sister knows you skydive, i'm sure she has mentioned it to her friend, no? Ask her. Angela.

I thought it was funny. I immediatly got budgie jumping, but it took me a minute to figure out what sounds like parrot shooting. doh! cute, tho:) Angela.

I know. Trust me... I know Still... can't take break from skydiving to pay off debt... screw that! I'm actually getting a subsidized school loan that will pay one off next month Aaaaww yeah! Angela.

It wasn't the content being a waste of bandwith, it was the number of replies. Threads over 1500 replies slow the forums down, and no one likes a slow internet site. Sangiro shut down the original Eloy 2003 thread for the same reason. Oh, I know. I didn't mean to come off as if it shouldn't be closed. I read that info a while back. ;) angela.

No, Phree... it is not worth charging up $$ if you will not be able to at least pay the minimums on it comfortably. I have debt, but I am glad I went this route because if I hadn't, I wouldn't be jumping likely. And, I can comfortably pay my minimums and make jumps. I will pay more when chunks of cash come along. Tax refunds, financial aid checks, lottery (haha!). You're still making lotsa jumps,... in a short amt of time. I still don't know how you all make it through the winter, I hope I never know I love Florida! Angela.

I know it seems a waste of bandwidth to some... but many people really enjoyed it!

YAY!!~ Congrads! Have you jumped it yet? Angela.

My thread "let's play a game" was my FIRST flaming thread & my FIRST locked thread. That's DOUBLE BEER! May I pour one 4 u? Angela.

I know $$ can be a problem. Hell, I have a nice 7000$ in debt that I am sitting on and paying only interest on monthly while I spend all my $$ on gear/jumps & food. For those w/o a rig... try looking for piece by piece. I didn't have a bunch of cash.. and lord knows I can't save worth a damn... so I first looked for a container.... then I waited around until a used reserve came up on the forums. Then I got a main. I think that when you have no $$, obviously that's something you can't get around. But, when you're spending good jump $$ at Publix... well, that's where ya gotta draw the line and go for Ramen noodles and eggs. lol! I haven't even paid for AFF yet, I still owe Mastercard for that. Airann & VSG, I am sorry you're both sick:( I suppose injuries seem to be a common problem, too. That sux:( I was actually wondering if any people started, then maybe got scared or hit with the fact that the could die doing this, like Ron suggested. I suppose there aren't a lot of those people out there, or they just don't feel like they can post for some reason. It is definitely a possibility. I have never seen anyone die or even get seriously injured in this sport. I saw one jumper break an ankle, but that's it. I know that it's inevitable, though. Angela. ps... for all those living in crappy weather. I think you should migrate to warmer climates. Leave those cold areas to the whuffos, lol!

Stacy, let me know what your doctor says. My eye doctor said that the best candidates are ones who's script is unchanging over a period of 2 years... Mine seems to change every year, too. I don't know if this is a plot against the consumer so that he stays in business, or if it really is the truth. lmk what you find out:) I don't spend that much. I buy the daily contacts and wear them for a week lol! Angela

I see lots of people on this site who have very low jump #s that don't seem to get any larger. I am just curious as to why people don't jump? Did you make 2 skydives and manage to not get bitten by the bug? Did you get injured? Is your dz closed for winter? Is it financial? Just curious as to why some people make a couple/few jumps, then seem to stop for such extended periods of time. Why don't you jump? Angela.
