    Welp spent alllllllllllllll day at Pahokee , but due to a late start and the instructor being busy I still have 2 hours or so left for AFF 1. So it looks like if all goes well I'll be doing my first AFF jump next saturday during the boogie. It was nice getting to meet some people and hang out, but this is going to be a long week.. si "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    I find that area of Florida typically pretty boring, I'm new to the sport so I have no idea about DZ's etc. But as far as other things to do and great lifestyle Fort Lauderdale is hard to beat. Its expensive down here but its well worth it IMO "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    Cool thanks for the replys everyone , I'm going to check out both brands of goggles recommended and go from there. I signed up for AFF 1 and will start class saturday morning :) I didnt get my disc back yet so i'll post the cheek flap pic tomorrow. Thanks again "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!!

    They were pretty tight, even left circles when i took them off once we touched down. It seemed to have a lot to do with my cheeks flapping around heh . Believe me you'll see what I mean when i get I post a pic tomorrow.. But then again it was my first jump so I have no idea but I'll probably order a pair of the clear goggles recommended above.

    Looking forward to it Check out the Flex-Z's. I think you'll be quite satisfied with them. Thanks for the recommendation, I didnt have anything on my head for my tandem so between the vanilla ice hair and cheek to neck flap I look sort of goonish heh "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!!

    I wear glass's for driving at night but not blind enough to wear them all the time. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    I did my first tandem jump on sunday and would like to start AFF pretty soon. I had severe cheek flop during the freefall which in turn let air under my goggles that blurred my vision pretty bad. This blurred vision watery eyedness made me somewhat uncomfortable. The most obvious fix seem like a full face helmet? Is there such a thing as going to a full face too soon ? All thoughts and opinions appreciated. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    Well I have officialy lost my mind, WOW sensory overload is a huge understatment. This is an totally insane sport and I now know how someone just falls in love with it. Allthough a lot of the free fall is blurry at best I can't wait to get back up. I haven't signed up for AFF yet but i know myself well enough to know I probably will by next weekend. Thanks to everyone out at Pahokee especially Dave VH. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    Avoid such gatherings at all cost, especially if you have a long time girlfriend. Said ceremony will put all kind of crazy ideas in her brain. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    Shaking Fist at the Sky !!!! Damn clouds , no first jump today but tomorrow is looking good. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    I've actually already seen this bit. It aired about 6 months ago , this was back before i had any interest in skydiving and it was still hilarious. The scary part was that a few of the people didnt even try to back out even when the big guy was going to use duct tape. Scary.... "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    I hung out with my friend/soon to be instructor last night and we deicded it'd be best for me to do the tandem first so thats the route I'm going to take. Now I just have to wait until saturday this is going to tbe the longest week ever. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    " Wiping Tear from eye " I've been very lucky in that department.

    HAH! heh your lucky I sold my car and moved to Florida or I would have had to make a little trip to Dallas and given you a drag racing lesson: And I haven't made my first jump yet so theres a 50/50 chance of sucking.:) Thanks for the warm welcome lisa and everyone else!!

    I got an X-box , a area rug for my new house and all my friends chipped in and bought me my first jump which i will be making next weekend :):):):):) "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    Thanks for the replys everyone !! Looks like i'll most likely be doing a tandem into AFF progression, can't wait for the first jump!!!!! Nice to meet everyone "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    I appreciate all the replys, seems like theres a 50/50 or sp split about doing a tandom first. As far as my DZ goes its already been chosen. Mainly because one of my good friends is an instructor there and my other good friend just got his AFF there. I guess i'll just talk to my guy and see what he thinks would be best for me. If were to decide to forgo the tandom how forgiving are the student canapys? it seems like most of the serious injuries and fatalities i've beem reading about happen during landing.

    Just wanted to say hello everyone I've not made my first jump but will hopefully get to jump on the 11 th if the weathers nice. One quick question do you have to do a tandom before your first AFF jump? "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "
  24. Ncrowe
    Thanks for the replys, I do feel much better after reading the last one due to the fact that when I first came across this forum about 2 hours ago I spent the first hour and a half reading through the incident forum trying to educate myself on the dangers of this sport.( other than the most obvious one of falling through the sky at 120 mph). I'm still excited about my upcomming tandom and I guess i'll know after I touch down if i'm hooked or not. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "

    Check out "Name of the Game" by the chemical brothers, its been around for awhile band I've used it on some drag racings vids and it makes for cool back ground music. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! "
