    Hi Amy, I have done 2 tandems at Skydive Chicago - starting AFP next year. It's the best high ever! We love SDC - jumping again on September 21st - can't wait. By the way, who was your tandem master?

    I lost my Mom in January. I turned to skydiving to escape...and found a home. I know what it feels like to be so scared for them, I will send the warmest thoughts her way..and to you...stay strong! My prayers are with you sister, for you and your Mom. _______________________________________

    What great words. As a new jumper I feel like a sponge - soaking up everything I can find. I will print this and keep it with me always. Thanks you...and to the community of skydivers who make us newbies feel so welcome. _______________________________________

    Thanks to you both - I will def try your suggestions. Cannot wait to go again - I have never experienced anything so amazing - never in my life could I feel like I could actually TASTE the adrenalin. Life simply does not get better than this. _______________________________________

    Hi Everyone, I am sure this has been covered...I found a few mentions while cruising the forum but I am really getting freaked about this. I have made 2 tandems -the first time I was having a having a heck of a time breathing but realized it made no sense and forced myself to breath and had an AWESOME time. Next time - same thing. I know this is 150% mental but I want to do my AFP next summer (gotta save the $$$) and I need to beat this. I am doing another tandem in the next few weeks and this is the ONLY thing bothering me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Skyding has given me a whole new outlook on everything in my world - it's all I think about! To discover it at 40 - I am not having it taken away by a goofy mind game. Any help is truly appreciated. Thanks to all _______________________________________

    I am new to the sport and absolutely thrilled by it! I have only made two tandem jumps and will be doing one more next month - I can't start my AFP until next Spring ($$$). It has totally changed my life. I am in my early 40's and thought I might be too old but I never felt better and never felt as ALIVE as I do now. I'm lucky - I have a very supportive husband (even though he really doesn't get it). I have been made to feel so welcome at our DZ (Skydive Chicago) and the folks there are the BEST. Well, that's me - staring up in the sky!!! _______________________________________
