    Thanks man, that sounds awesome. I got that vibe a lot at Taft and I really enjoyed just chilling after the day was over, having a few beers. PM me if you're a picky drinker and I'll be sure to bring your favorite barley sandwich.

    Hey thanks, not sure if that matters or not, advice either way is welcome!

    Thanks, maybe I'll see you at Skydance. My brother got me this far as a birthday present so I haven't really had to confront the financial side of the sport. Hopefully I can exchange with a coach on the forum, I'm the only one working with my wife in school so cash is particularly tight. That doesn't include the hundred-plus thousand bucks we're borrowing for tuition, lol! I spent 3 years doing nothing but race bicycles and now I teach high performance motorcycle riding. In both areas I've happily given my time to people getting into the sport. I really enjoyed seeing their improvement and expanding the culture and community of the sports I love. I'm hoping to run into a like-minded individual, someone who loves being an ambassador for the sport that I can hook up with a convenient place to stay and some quality beer that I brewed that's probably totally safe to drink.

    Lol, fair point! I suppose it's the same for me or I wouldn't have done 4 more.

    Hey all, I just moved to Davis and I live less than 10 minutes from Skydance. I did 5 AFF jumps at Taft and I love the DZ but it's pretty far from home now! I can do my last 2 AFF jumps at Skydance but I'll be pretty broke after that. After lurking on this site a bit I've gotten the impression that there are enough experienced jumpers and coaches in the community that it's possible for me to make it to my A license without selling any of my less vital organs on the black market! This gives me hope. Although I value the possible help I may get tremendously, I don't have actual cash to exchange... I can however offer a) beer, considered by some to be more valuable than actual money. Who am I to argue? And b) a possible place to stay near the DZ (contingent on wife's approval/feeling she won't be murdered by you). Hope to hear back soon, I would happily jump tomorrow if the opportunity presents itself...

    Hey all, I did 5 of my AFF jumps at Taft and I love the DZ but my wife is in school and we moved to Davis CA. Looking fir advice on a local DZ (Skydance, Lodi?) and advice or threads on how to do my coach jumps frugally! Looking forward to hearing from and possibly meeting some folks here, love the site and been lurking long enough to know there's some quality users here.
