    remeber- the more you put into improving your skills, the more they will improve. you don't have to spend lots on coaching. you could do 1 or 2 coach jumps then spend your next 5-10 jumps working on what the coach suggest. then go back and do a couple more coach jumps to gauge your improvment. you can also grab a fellow jumper and ask if they want to do some 2-way drill dives. i've got tons of tips and info just talking to the more experienced jumpers when the beer light is on. so ask lots of questions and when people see that you want to learn you'll be surprised at how much help is out there. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    ha ha, that's why my co-workers ask how many jumps i did instead of if i went jumping, if the weather was good that weekend. i've got a few good whuffo friends that i'll talk about jumping with if they bring it up. otherwise i don't talk about it, especially if it's someone i don't know. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    berr is pretty much the standard for having a drink with fellow skydivers. however other stuff is always welcome. heck at my DZ last weekend our good friend Brokeback brought 5 gallons of Hurricanes. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    it all depends on what you do with the jumps you do make. drill dives, coach jumps and jumping with people to work on skills together, will net you better results than solos and goof off dives. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    it's from the Nevermore song "Seed Awakening" it's the first thing that popped into my head when my mentor asked me how i was feeling after we had been quite for a few minutes enjoying the view on my first BASE jump. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    start out with the small stuff like helmet, altimeter, gloves, and goggles. you could hold off on a jumpsuit until after you've got your A and have a better idea of what disipline you want to pursue. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    go to a sporting goods store and get some "slider" shorts from the baseball department. they have padding around the upper thigh and rear. it's not real thick so it's easily worn under your jumpsuit or clothes. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    don't you mean "$2.00 fizzy yellow piss water"? i feel your pain, Shiner is brewed an hour from my house but everywhere in Texas it's considered an import. worse yet, the St. Arnold's brewery is closer and it's usually more than Shiner. life's too short to drink cheap beer. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    here's a friendly comp idea i've been thinking about: a Flop and Drop. the experienced jumpers can have a Hog Flop competition. and you can mow a target in the landing area and get the tandems and experinced jumpers, while under canopy, Dropping small sacks of flour for accuracy and/or points. best of luck with your event! diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    i reckon anytime you exit an aircraft and use a parachute for recreation it's a skydive. S/L, AFF, and tandem are just different training methods which can all lead to the same thing: a liscensed skydiver. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
