I know we have a few crazy people on here that jump out of perfectly good airplanes so I wanted to let everyone know I had accomplished something I had only dreamed about. I've been in the sport 14 months and in May graduated from AFF.

Today I received my A license!

This all started with 1 Tandem jump in October 2005 and I was addicted.

2007 New year’s resolution same as last year, but different letter. I want to get my B license (Beach/Water jumps!) and to reach #100 jumps!

Some of you may enjoy this.

20 REASONS WHY SKYDIVING IS BETTER THAN SEX

1. You can have six skydives a day and still want more.
2. Finding partners for skydiving is much easier - physical attraction is not as important.
3. Skydiving is much safer; no diseases and no kids.
4. Finding good partners is much easier - everyone knows in advance how good a skydiver you are.
5. It's socially acceptable to do 4-ways, 8-ways, 16-ways...
6. Everyone involved is usually satisfied or not with a skydive.
7. You can ask skydivers if they've put on weight without offending them.
8. You rarely get told by your partner(s) that they've had enough.
9. Solo skydiving is not embarrassing.
10. Everyone is ugly in freefall.
11.You could actually have a whole TEAM that knows about each other.
12.Your TEAM can do a LOT of practicing. Either individually or all together.
13.You can constantly change partners without getting a bad reputation.
14.You can always go back to your ex-partner after having jumped with several others.
15.Your partners will not think of you as "weird" if you suggest a "horny gorilla".
16.You can actually "dirt dive" the act, AND "de-brief" it afterwards.
17.You get certificates that can tell others how many times you have DONE it, and how good you are.
18.You can LOG it and people will even verify it by signing.
19.You can by a stamp that you can use to LOG the various positions that you and your partner(s) have done.
20.For a small price you can hire a professional video man so you can impress your friends and family! If you're really good, you can sell the video for others to watch and improve their own skills.

Yeah but might I add.... if your "chute fails in sex" you can always pull out..... or hit the ground like shydiving..... think I will stick with sex!

Congrats.......I wannna Geaux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just let me know when! We can take the bikes jump in the morning and have lunch/dinner at one of the casinos. Sounds like a plan?

I was so worried about packing my chutte that when I asked my instructor to do my check out dive I didn't even ask him to video or take pictures. I may have 1 pic that was taken on the plane. I'll let you know.


Who's coming to watch juice jump?

Geez, I don't know. It would be hard to go out there knowing I could only watch. haha.

So long as the wings are attached and I am not on filre, I will stay with the bird.

Besides, my old Drill Instructor, after an Airborne recruiting presentation, told us " Gentlemen, There are only TWO things that fall out of the sky, bird crap and fools".

I prefer scuba diving !

They let you jump in jeans and a t-shirt?

Shakey75
08-08-2007, 08:24 PM
Sure. You can jump in shorts if you want. About the only time they make you wear a jumpsuit is when going through aff.

I sent Nick (Video guy) a comment and he wants a Sunday morning Horny Gorilla on the Dummy load! I can't stop thinking about it...I may go just for that 1 jump and just stay all day. Let me know if you want to go for a ride.

I'm going to talk Kenny into taking me for a ride to make a few jumps this weekend. I heard the riding around hwy 11 off of 59 is pretty good. Any ideas where to head out that way? Anyone want to come along? Either day would be good! I promise not to keep you at the Drop Zone to long.
