  1. What about getting a sticker from each place and adding it to the map as u go? And if you happen to find a dz without a sticker, print the logo and cut around it, glue it on :) Just and idea, hope it helps I might be a little obsessed....
  2. It’s my crazy way...... Think of being in a car and the window is down. You’re going 70 down the highway. Stick your hand out. (If u do this in real life plz drive safe, this is just what I think about) You feel the wind push your hand back. Now push forward. That’s going “into” the wind, when you relax, the force of the wind wil pop your hand back pretty quick. Basically, upwind, is pushing into the wind. It slows u down. If your going downwind, it speeds u up, all the force is pushing on your back. It’s just what came to mind when I was learning that a few months ago. It all gets better from here! Blue skies! I might be a little obsessed....
  3. RELAX.... Easier said than done I know. Once u relax you will do better. :) And that just comes with time. Hang in there! I might be a little obsessed....
  4. Omg how could u not smile!!!!???? I might be a little obsessed....
  5. Don’t quote me.... Aff (accelerated freefall) is usually 8 levels of instruction Afp (accelerated freefall progression) is 16 levels. For both you still need a total of 25 to get A I might be a little obsessed....
  6. You know, no one ever told me I was supposed to bring beer for my A, and i felt like an idiot lol, any "firsts" lol. Wouldve been nice if someone had mentioned it before i got there that day. I might be a little obsessed....
  7. Wow... Thank you. The people and amount of support in this sport is absolutley priceless. Honestly, the other people in the sport really helped with confidence. Luckily, my money issues with AFP were taken care of by a very generous gift from my birth mother. Bought me a rig too...... Its been an interesting journey. I might be a little obsessed....
  8. Whoa, this has probably been the best experience ever!! I was on a wind hold most of the day but was able to get my check done on the last load! I’m more excited about this video than any of the previous ones. I finished everything and still had 2-3k ft, so we did some sky swimming :) if you ever get a chance to visit skydive Carolina, you will have a blast. If you have a minute please watch my video :) https://youtu.be/hsOoSGhM7z4 I might be a little obsessed....
  9. He invented the three ring cutaway? That’s a cool piece of info! 😁 I might be a little obsessed....
  10. I searched the forums and didn’t see a clear answer. I broke a tooth last week and I’m having a root canal tomorrow (Tuesday) and I’ll get a temp crown on Wednesday. Will this effect me his weekend in jumps? I think it was the form I filled out for my first tandem where it asked about if I had dental work done within the past 48 hours or something like that. Thoughts? I might be a little obsessed....
  11. Hahaha! Yup, I’d be in trouble lol I might be a little obsessed....
  12. So I’m in SC, Home DZ is Skydive Carolina. Unfortunately we haven’t had the best weather this year. I’m in AFF and skydiving is on my mind constantly. So when I couldn’t jump this weekend I decided to get crafty :) Now I get to wear a 3 ring around my neck! I’m really proud that they turned out as great as they do!! Check out the photos! What do u think? I might be a little obsessed....
  13. I always take what I hear with a grain of salt, it’s still nice to have y’all take a look and throw out ur opinion. I always ask my instructor if there’s something that interests me that I hear 😁 I might be a little obsessed....
  14. I guess I don’t know enough about static line but I’m not sure I can get her to do that. AFP or aff would better suit her, just because of being alone on the first few... I might be a little obsessed....
  15. I don’t know. I live in the east coast. I might be a little obsessed....
