  1. Gear rental is not a problem. That's what I've been doing waiting for my rig. Only 2 more weeks till school is over and I can go get it.
  2. this is what makes skydivers so great. Everyone knows that life could end on any jump. We trust in each other and live life like it's the last day. There isn't another group of people I would rather be around. - Riding in a boat isn't swimming. To fly, you have to get out of the plane.
  3. Well, I'll definitely be there. Even if the weather is bad, at least there will still be plenty to do. I've never seen a group of skydivers get bored when there is wood and gasoline to burn.
  4. Being fairly new to the sport (32 jumps after this weekend), I frequently feel like the worste jumper around. Either I am working on a good exit, trying to fall at the same rate, or trying not to backslide. As time goes on, I am getting better. Every once in a while, it's not me that is responsible for the mistakes though. I've been part of groups where D licensed people botched getting to the base and had others that came crashing through the formation (sorry Anne, It was pretty funny though). It's just nice to know that everyone else is human and mistakes happen. For those people that think their shit doesn't smell and snub the less experienced, you're missing out on the fun of the sport. The jump may not go perfectly, but what a great time trying. Besides, which stories would you rather hear: the perfect 5 points on a 4-way or the looks on faces as bodies are flying past everywhere. Just thought I'd put my .02 in on my first post to a great site. Keith
