This skydiving forum has been a big help to me in the past week or so. I am going to make my first tandem jump in June. Why so far off? Well, I was hoping to get a group together to go, and we all had to pick a date. I started with about eight people, and now it is down to just two of us. Amazing how people chicken out when it comes time to commit to actually doing it. I am so stoked. Thanks to all of you that post important information on this site! I have a feeling that this may become another expensive habit for me. I don't know why I want to do it so badly; I just do. It has preoccupied my thoughts like crazy. I live near an airport where they have glider rides, and everytime I hear an airplane take up a glider I think of skydiving. My eyes are to the sky! Carpe Diem!
