    socal jumper

    There are quite a lot of us here. . .I usually jump at Elsinore. Most of us will be at Perris for the Memorial Day Boogie this weekend. And the next weekend is a newbie boogie/seminar thingy at Elsinore called Bridge the Gap. I see you don't have your A license yet. Have fun finishing your progression and hurry up and come play with us. Don't know much about San Diego but Elsinore and Perris both have 2 way skills camps (Its called ExCel at Elsinore) that are free coaching. Great way to meet other jumpers and hone your skills after you get off student status. . .

  3. WOW! I think I have so many. . .to pick a favorite. . .awe, I will just list a few. . . My fondest must be when I was 4 years old getting to go flying in my dad's PT-22. They had to modify the seat harness to strap me in and my dad did some aerobatics with me. It was awesome. . . Learning how to waterski on the Colorado River. . .vacations at Big Bend on the Colorado river. . .floating down the Colorado River on inner tubes and rafts. . .fetching drunks out of the river when they tried to swim across and would get caught up in the current. . .(so could you tell I liked going to the river? Still do). Okay those are my most favorite memories. . .I have many more but didn't want to write a book. . . ________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy

    Besides asking your instructors, if you can get to a hanging harness to practice an actual pull, you can get a feel for how each method works. . . ________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy
  5. Andrea, the best times I have enjoyed recently are away from skydiving. Its amazing, there still is life after jumping. That being said, I cannot wait to jump again. ..lol. ________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy
  6. Lisa, at my DZ (Elsinore), we have a 2-way skills camp. I started going there as soon as I had my A license. 25 jumps. I wasn't very good at first but I learned so much about flying with others. It was great experience. Tell people that you would love to fly with them as soon as you have your A license, but that you hope they will understand if you wait till you are comfortable. ________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy

We look forward to having you out here. ________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy

  12. Angela, The fiber in fruit balances out the glucose. When you remove the fiber (i.e.; concentrating just the juice), you remove the balance. Mastication of fruit also signals your brain to fire up your metabolism. You don't masticate fruit juice. ________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy
  13. Well, I have been on both ends of the spectrum. . .I have been morbidly obese, and now thin and healthy. I have had the fat jokes and the anorexic jokes and everything in between. . .

  16. Why jumping on Friday the 13th may be just what I need to break from these stupid textbooks. . . ________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy
  17. Ro, I really don't think it is possible for you to be more giving and helpful. You are always so wonderfully giving. I wish I had half of what you got in that category. That being said, I recently have discovered insecurities in myself that paralyze me from moving forward (which sux damnit. . .I can throw myself out of planes but cannot move forward in life). This is an area in me that REALLY needs to get fixed now. So I am taking steps to fix it. ________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy
