Congrats.. on your achievement... WTG

yeah.. I appreciate that one.. lol.. AAF seems like the way to go.. I am thinking of making the trip.. Just to do the AAF.. And in case you need to stitch anyone else.. I carry 1% Lidocaine in my first aid kit.. Actually i think i have some Prolene as well.. LOL.

Ok I see the differences.. Yeah.. I am excited about it.. Starting to look at gear.. But it will be awhile before i get any.. But my next oppertunity to tandom will be in a few weekends.. I will let you know how it goes.. I have been checking out.. WWW.skydivingmovies.com I love that site.. Talk to you guys later..

I talked to the DZ today.. This is what the guy said.. Well. Emailed me anyways. Tell me what you guys think..l It is $165 for the ground school and first jump. After your first static line jump consecutive jumps through the student training syllabus are only $60. This price is all inclusive, there are no hidden charges. This includes your equipment, jump master, individual instruction, de-brief, insurance, repacks and lift tickets. Parachute packing classes are included too! On the average, it takes between 12 and 20 jumps to complete all of the training and qualify to become and licensed skydiver. Through the training we will get off of the static line and truly free falling on about your 5th or 6th jump. We will then increase the exit altitude and freefall time with each jump until we work you up to 10,000 feet and 45 second delays (freefalls). After you graduate the program and are permitted to jump unassisted, lift tickets are just $15 to 9,500 feet

alright.. i can do the tandom here.. I will let you know if i can make my way over there.. thanks for the info..

thats pretty competitive to here.. and it gets me away for the weekend.. How many jumps per level do you have to complete before moving to the next level.?

Its about a 5 1/2 hour drive to there. not too bad.. If you can email me a weekend cost.. And maybe in a month or two I will come over that way.. Kplum@sbcglobal.net

How much would it cost to do it in a weekend.??

I am in Arkansas.. North west corner..

not too sure.. Thats something i will have to call about it.. The nearest DZ to me is http://www.skyranch.com/

I have never done this before.. I am in a position now to do it... So I was wondering.. Should I do a tandom jump first to see if I like before i start the static line? i understand that i get to free fall a bit before the instructor pulls the cord.. where static line i think you free fall for like 10sec. Just trying to jump in (or should i say out) with both feet forward.. But want to do it correctly and make sure that i do enjoy it.. thanks for the help
