    You don't pay less for hop and pops? That's a rip-off. http://3ringnecklace.com/

    Don't forget to tip the packers that packed all of those chutes for you- http://3ringnecklace.com/

    It depends on the DZ. There are packing classes, or you can ask a packer to help you. I've shown some people how to do it (I'm a packer), but I would recommend someone with certification to teach you. Like anything else, packing is easy, once you get the hang of it. Learn on an easy to pack canopy. I learned on a brand new canopy and I packed myself two malfunctions. Not fun. Practice practice practice too. I remember packing a chute, undoing it and packing it again. And again and again. http://3ringnecklace.com/

    I didn't repeat any, nor did I come close to. Except I had a hard time pulling the tandem chute on my second or third jump. I was nineteen, no upper body strength and I don't think the guy threw the drogue. http://3ringnecklace.com/

    If you really are concerned, you can always sit through AFF ground school. You are taught how to deal with these sorts of circumstances. http://3ringnecklace.com/

    I am still in shock that Danny is gone. I was there when it happened, and the feel of the drop zone was very depressing. I saw him earlier that day and my boyfriend talked to him as well. Whenever Danny saw my boyfriend, he would always say, "Where's the wife?" I have not been skydiving in Georgia long, but to know Danny is to love Danny. He will be sorely missed. I attached a picture of him dressed up as Buzz Lightyear at the Halloween Boogie in Thomaston. Blue Skies Danny! http://3ringnecklace.com/

    airathanas reviewed 1snowangel's dropzone in South Carolina

    I went there for a skydiving competition and I was very impressed with their facilities and professionalism. I highly recommend anyone that is in their area should check it out!
