  1. Why do I skydive?? Cuz I like the look that I get from people when they find out that I throw myself out of a "perfectly good airplane" And I think that I have been called CRAZY more times in the past few months since I started skydiving than I have in the past 24 years Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead.

  2. I got a 20 min session at iFLYSFBAY for $269. Which is not too bad I think. The tunnel is a good training tool though. Eventually I want to be able to do FF and RW. So I am using the tunnel as a stepping stone to help aid my progression to my goals. At some point I will be there.....but I am definately not in no hurry.

  3. Thats how I feel.....wish I would have made the first jump sooner. Where do u plan on doing AFF at? Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  4. +1 to that. Maybe one of these day I might run in to you at one of the DZ's around here. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  5. Good luck with the rest of your AFF. You will definately have a blasty blast. I see you are doing your training ou at Byron?? I plan on doing some jumps out there within the next couple of months since I live fairly close. I need to start checking out the other DZ's around me.

  6. I just got the Ozone and love it. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  7. Damn that sucks. Dont ya just hate the weather?? I am supposed to jump on Thurs but now it says RAIN. Oh well, if I can not jump that day, I still have my 20 min block at iFLY later on that day. Have you ever tried doing any tunnel training? Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  8. Grats on the first tandem and welcome to the forum. Hopefully there will be many more jumps here in the near future. Cuz ya just can't have one Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  9. That is awesome!!! Congrats. Now the real fun will begin Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  10. Awww why not?? Is that not the progession now days? First few jumps are belly, the next couple after that are freeflying then on to wingsuits. Then by your 30th jump you can start swooping and jumping with a camera. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  11. And dont forget to arch!!! Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  12. Welcome to the forums. If you think that you are addicted now......just wait till you go thru AFF and finish it. Thats when the real addiction starts Good luck and blue skies Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  13. I think that reading is one thing and helps you learn up to a point, but actually experiencing AFF and the jumps to come later on will really help you and your comfort level with the sport. Though I must say, the ride up to altitude still makes my nerves a lil rigid, but once out the door I feel as comfortable as if I were standing on the ground.

  14. Thanks!!! I wish I could be out jumping every day Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  15. Welcome to the forums and good luck with your training. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  16. Welcome to the forums. Thats how I started off. I did my first tandem and not even a week later, I was back for #2. After that second tandem, I knew right away that my fate was sealed for skydiving. If you thought your tandems were fun.......just wait till you are jumping on your own. I could not use enough words to desribe the feeling that it gives me. blue skies Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  17. Welcome to the forums. Do u have any plans for continuing your training and finish AFF? Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  18. If I had the day off from work tomorrow I would offer to give u a ride. I pretty much live right in the middle of both. Try lookin on here http://www.sjrtd.com You can prob catch a bus from the BART station in Dublin. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead.

  19. Welcome to the forums and to the best addiction of your life. I feel kinda lucky that I live 15 min from my DZ and about an hour and a half from the tunnel. blue skies Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  20. Yeah Lodi will be a very minor detour, but well worth it. Like the other poster said, it will only be 10 to maybe 15 min at the most from I-5. Just keep an eye out for Peltier Rd. Take that exit and follow it down till to see SR-99. You will be able to go straight on the overpass, a right to get on to 99 or the frontage road left to get to the DZ.......which is where I am headed in a couple of hours If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck and keep us posted. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
  21. Well if you are planning a trip down to California, you should make a detour on your way to SF and check out the Parachute Center in Lodi. It is an awesome DZ, people are great and you cant beat their prices. When you are off student status and are back out this way, you should make some jumps there. If you plan on going to iFLYSFBAY, make sure you book your time in advance......they get really busy. Other than that, it is a great place and the instructors are really helpful at training, especially if you tell them you are going through AFF. Good luck and blue skies Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
