The people who are waiting for the PS3 arent huge gamer nerds like you think... well some of them are. Most if not all are going to buy the PS3 for 600 bucks and resell it for 3 to 4 thousand dollars when the demand near christmas is super high. Most stores are only getting in an initial shipment of 10-15 units for the entire holiday season so nationwide their is a severe shortage of supply compared to the huge demand. They are waiting for up to 3 days for this system but if they are lucky enough to score one then they will likely see profits of thousands of dollars. I know all of this since my roomate is in line in front of Walmart right now hoping to turn 2 days worth of work (is waiting in line work?) into a few grand. 2 BITS....4 BITS....6 BITS....A DOLLAR!....ALL FOR THE GATORS....STAND UP AND HOLLER!!!!

I cant give you an instructors perspective of the Tandem Progression since I am a low timer but I was a student of the Tandem Progression and I highly reccomend it. In the 3 Tandem training jumps I had I got to do a lot of Practice Handle touches and learned Altitude awareness and the feeling of freefall without being overwhelmed by jumping solo. When the day came when I started solos I was very comfortable and felt more aware then I think I would have if that was my first freefall. 2 BITS....4 BITS....6 BITS....A DOLLAR!....ALL FOR THE GATORS....STAND UP AND HOLLER!!!!

5000 is really not that far off after fees, training, coaching, AFF, and a rig.The AFF program as a whole package will probably cost between 1300-1500 bucks(it can also be bought on a per jump basis but that varies per dropzone). After that you are gonna need to rack up about 13-15 jumps to get your A which with gear rental and coaching will probably cost 500-600. After that if your tired of renting uncomfortable student gear then your gonna want to buy a rig, helmet, altimeter, and goggles will be at least 2000 if you buy used and will be way over 5000 if you buy new. It sucks that the sport is so expensive but trust me I have spent almost all of my saved money on skydiving and I do not regret one penny spent. Everything is totally worth. If you have the money do it!!! *These are rough estimates from my own experiences and could vary greatly from what you will have to spend. Contact your closest dropzone and find out how much it costs, for the exact training costs and look on the classifieds to see how much good used beginner systems are going to cost you.

Hughes is the best welterweight ever. He will retire with that title before he loses it to GSP. ------------------------------------------- For any UFC fans out their, I saw Royce Gracie in an airport like a week after the Hughes fight and I talked to him for like 5 minutes.

Well Buddy Im sorry to hear that things have been so difficult for you so far, but I feel I can actually give you some advice since me and you are still students and I can relate to the stress you are feeling while going to the DZ. Believe me it is definetly normal to feel anxious about skydiving, espescially when you are new at it. Everything you are learning in AFF is meant to help you but it also can be very intimidating, since it is all about life and death actions and safety procedures which are meant to keep you safe. Yes, definetly it gets easier to go jumping at your DZ. In the begining around solo jumps 1-3 I felt downright nauseas about going skydiving and I hated the ride up to altitude since I was so nervous. Now after racking up some more solo jumps and becoming much more comfortable I dream all week about skydiving and cant wait to get geared and have fun in the sky. I know your feeling a lot of pressure now because you want to pass your next levels of AFF but if you simply relax and focus on your tasks at hand and listen to your instructors then you will be fine. Definetly do not let your feelings keep you grounded on jumping days. Whenever you let your anxieties get the better of you then it will make it harder to focus and concentrate on your next jump. I can assure you that the more you jump the less anxious you will be, I guarantee it. If it were me I would have gone up on the next load since I always felt better during AFF after landing from a safe jump, which made me want to go again, regardless of if I accomplished all my tasks required. While you may not have felt comfortable with going up again which is fine, (NEVER LET ANYONE TALK YOU INTO A JUMP YOU DONT WANT TO GO ON) you probably should not have gone home. Spending time with your instructors and learning more about safety and procedures even if not jumping will make everything easier as time goes on. I cant give any advice really about your technique but I have read that Tunnels can provide a safe FEAR free way of honing your skills, so if you can there is no reason to not give that a try to correct your spinning. I think its usually considered the best option in skydiving to not wait to complete your training. If you know your DZ will be closed before you will finish then you really have no choice but to stop however if you can complete your training before the winter then you should that way you dont have to wait and face all these fears again in a few months. If you want to gain some confidence about the future then just read about the AFF experiences from some of the most experienced skydivers on these forums. Ive read many times that skydivers with D licenses and 4000+ jumps now have had problems about anxiety and failure of levels multiple times during training. Those skydivers kept on progressing and facing their fears and now they are world class flyers, there is no reason why you cant do the same.

I dont have my A license either but to break into Skysurfing of Freeflying I know for a fact you have to be pretty much an expert bellyflyer before you start doing other shit, and bellyflying takes good skydivers hundreds of jumps to master completely. Freeflying is my long term goal as well, so Im right there with ya. 2 BITS....4 BITS....6 BITS....A DOLLAR!....ALL FOR THE GATORS....STAND UP AND HOLLER!!!!

Hell yeah Miami!!! The Dolphins blow but for whatever reason we have some kind of voodoo curse on the Bears. Whenever the Bears are undefeated and awesome we beat them.
