Sweetness

"Take a parachute (and jump)" by Something Happens ! And I personally relate these to skydiving: "Sweetness" by Jimmy Eat World

That is EXACTLY what I felt after my first tandem 2 months ago ! Actually it didn't fade out, it just gets worse ! Isn't there a cure for this ? "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder)

- Dancer in the dark (I cried my eyes out) - Dead Poet's Society and ... - My girl "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder)

Yep, true, they don't do that over here. And what is IAD ? The only training we have in Belgium, is static and AFF. (But AFF sounds just fine for me, I think I'd like that.) "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder)

Hmm, I felt something wasn't right while I was typing "Ringo" Glad you like it too ! "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder)

Exactly the same here ! (studying to be a History teacher) "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder)

Not about John Lennon specifically, but what is your favourite Beatles-song ? I love "Here comes the sun" ... has often made me smile and cry. I think it was written by Ringo. "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder)

I want free fall too !! Hmm, I know what it feels like to have to wait till you got enough money to do AFF, I'm glad I'm not the only one

O man and I thought that Christmas was all about PEACE ... Here's a tip, the one that I'm going to apply this year: go order some fine cheeses and bread (or other food), open a bottle of red wine, and have a quiet evening with only the few ones you really love ! PS: Don't forget the candles "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder)

Thank you all for welcoming me !

When I did my tandem, the other guys on the load were the ones joking to me about my tm. " had lots of alcohol last night and has been partying until 9 am !" ... to which I smiled, and than they said "No, we're joking, he hasn't been partying until 9 am ....... but he did have a lot of alcohol !" Also when the door opened, they all started looking out and then looking at me, saying "Ooow, that's pretty high", but then gave me a wink or a smile. My tm -when the plane took off- said to me "Wake me up when we're at 13 000ft ... I usually forget" after which he closed his eyes and laid his head down. And when we were there and the door opened "Don't come telling me that you don't want to jump ! I jump anyway ... after 15 minutes in the plane, I don't want to return back in it !" (He was great

I'm new here, but I forgot to introduce myself because I hadn't noticed this particular forum Well, first of all: hi to everyone ! This is a great website with apparently many fabuleous and helpful people ! About myself: my name is Klara, I'm 22 and I'm from Belgium. One month ago I did my first, and so far only, tandem, which had been a dream for years. It was actually ment to be a one time experience, but from the moment the canopy deployed, I said to my tandem master "I want to do this again!" I absolutely loved it, for me it feels like being in love Since that day until now I've been gazing at the sky, wanting to jump again, surfing skydive-websites, and constantly bringing up the subject (luckily my friends are patient ... very patient ) I would want to do AFF, or maybe first some SL jumps and than AFF (suggestions are welcome!) I still have time to think about it, because I'm in my last year at college and have no job, which means no money But I can't wait to be in the sky again, so I'll do another tandem in Spring ... I'm already counting the days ! Love to everyone ! "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder)
