Everyone is telling me to PLF. But it's my intension to land on my feet. Hahahaha Or am I missing something? The youtube vids are helping a lot. I’ve been reading some too. Thanks for everyone’s help and replies. Please keep’um coming. Not spent much time at the home DZ yet. It's still summer here. The instructors and office staff have been inundated with people doing first time tandems. As soon as the weather cools down some and that Pacific Northwest drizzle sets in, the one timers will all go home. I don’t mean any disrespect here. Everyone needs to start somewhere in this sport. I myself was a one timer too…..twice! Is there a name that everyone’s came up with for the people who jump once and do not return?

Hello all, I've been reading some of the writings in the Safety section here for new jumpers. I have a lot to learn. I have my first Static scheduled for September. Was it overwhelming at first? Landing patterns, knowing when to flair and not to flair, wings level…. The last thing I want to do is face plant and be picking turf out my ears. I can’t wait! I do fly 2 string Sport Kites so I have a small concept of wind characteristics. Please advise, thanks all ~Hold Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye

How did your 5,6 and 7 go last weekend? ~Hold Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye

My home LZ is Snohomish. Granted, I'm very new to the sport and only have 4 jumps out of Snohomish, but I think the instructors are very professional and treat all students with the best courtesy and respect. Equipment is great. Besides, there are some awesome views from Snohomish. Ya have the Puget Sound to the West, Mt Backer to the North, Glacier Peak to the East, and Mt. Rainier to the South. In my humble opinion, ya can’t get better scenery. I hope you can jump there. I don’t think you will regret it!!

Blue Skies All, Hello, I'm new to this forum and new to S/D. I've been jumping out of Snohomish, Wa. Doing my level 4 and 5 (static) on the 12th of Sept. Then on to my AFF. Sort of got a late start in this sport. I’m pushing 50. But I tell you, I’ve found nothing else that compares to how I feel when I am in the air. Once my feet touch the ground, all I want to do is get back up there. This stuff has been keeping me up at night. What a rush. I love it. I feel better about myself and more confident at my job. I figure, if I can do this I can do anything. For me, skydiving is a place where I lose myself and find myself. Please tell me if no one else feels the same way. I have about a thousand questions. I’m hoping to meeting some great people and getting some good advice. Right now, I'm asking if there are exercises I can do that will help with arch positioning. Take care, talk to ya soon ~Hold Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
