  1. ***Students should be left mostly to their JMs, I think, if they're having anxiety issues. Once I said I wasn't jumping that day, the JMs just said "okay. its your call." the people pressuring me were the sport jumpers who were not my instructors. The JMs both said I'd made a good call. _________________________________________ Totally agree..............most of my problems with extreme pressure were from other skydivers....not my JM.....example.... The first cold day in wisconsin.........about 10 degrees at 10,000 feet. I was supposed to do my first 30 second delay from 8,500.......my JM told me I needed to wear gloves.........I told him I was really uncomfortable jumping with gloves for the first time in the cold weather........and told him I would like to make the jump the next day....giving me time to practice pulling and exiting the aircraft on the ground. He completely agreed. I got a bunch of crap from some jumpers about getting over my fear .....to me it was not a fear.......it was a safety issue..............the next day came and I was gearing up for my jump.......still really nervous about the gloves.............and before I knew it I was getting yelled at by another skydiver about my fear.......my skydive went right out of my head.......I did not get on the plane that day......... skygirl1
  2. EVERY TIME I GO HERE I LEARN SOMETHING NEW.THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO TEACH YOU EVERYTHING THEY CAN.THEY ALWAYS GO THE EXTRA MILE TO SHOW YOU AND UPDATE YOU,ON WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT WILL HELP. WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING YOU WITH ALL OF YOUR SKYDIVING NEEDS,THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. SO WHETHER IT IS YOUR FIRST JUMP,OR ONE OF YOUR COUNTLESS MANY TO COME. HERE IS THE PLACE TO BE. MAKE SURE TO COME AND "HANG OUT" IN THE AIR. OH, AND OF COURSE, AFTER YOUR DAY OF JUMPING TOO. BLUE SKIES, BRAD BADTKE FOND DU LAC WI.
