  1. Z-hills is where my husband jumps, but right now I prefer the lighter traffic at Lake Wales. Also, my instructor/friend is from Lake Wales. I imagine once I am feeling more proficient I will go back and forth. Thanks for the welcome and I look forward to possibly meeting you.
  2. Glad to hear I'm not the only one, but I can't reach mine because me arms are small (probably not abnormally so, thought). I am jumping a student rig, but it is on the smaller side, so that isn't the problem. I'm looking for a rig to buy, and I will get shorter risers.
  3. Congratulations. Keep us updated on how you progress and good luck.
  4. Hi all. I've got 12 jumps, going out every chance I get. I'm new to jumping myself, but my husband has been a jumper for years. I suppose it was inevitable that I start eventually (couldn't let him have all the fun). I finally get my act together when a new employee in my office turned out to be a great friend and an AFF instructor. It's going well and I look forward to getting as many jumps as my family and job will allow.
  5. You're question is a good one. I just finished commenting to my JM that I wasn't nervous at all during my first 4 jumps, but on number 5, where I left the plane in a dive exit, I was terrified. Ever since then, I've had butterflies on the ride to altitude, but they go away immediately after I exit.
