So, as all of you know, skydiving is a sport with certain risks, people can get hurt, people can get scared, people can get sick… Well, the other day at the DZ, one of the tandem students did just that, he puked all over his tandem master’s leg… Poor guy’s jump suit went from black to orange…. Now, to make matters worse, the next day, THE VERY SAME tandem master was up with a student who started puking… and guess what… … … … … He avoided it hahaha Seriously speaking though, one of the tandem students didn’t listen to… » Read more…

So I was having a very hard time convincing my mom to come jump with me… When she got there, she loved the atmosphere and the people and everything, so I popped up the idea of letting her ride co-pilot. She asked me to go find out how much it would cost, so I just manifested her, and brought over the form for her to fill out. She looked at me and said something along the lines of “I didn’t tell you to book me, I told you to ask how much it was!” So I pulled her chair up… » Read more…
My mom’s coming along

So my mom finally accepted to come to the drop zone and watch me do some skydives. I’m actually hoping that once she’s there, she’ll let me pay for her to get a tandem. She’s somewhat adventurous, but has been extremely against the idea of her jumping. She’s been super supportive of the fact that I love the sport though, so I’m happy about that one =). I’ll write up a post about what happened tomorrow next chance I get. -Adam
So the season’s started, and as with every other skydiving first, I had a few firsts myself… 1st time jumping at two different dzs, 1st time jumping a smaller rig, 1st time doing a 2way and 1st time tracking… That’s 5 beer purchases… I can’t afford that, so I’ll be grouping it all together in 2 beer runs. I’d say 1 beer run, but I gotta at least buy beers at each DZ I jumped at hahaha. I’m gonna be outta money before the month of July – Adam

I finished my A license courses, I’m now at 27 jumps, started my studies for the A license exam… Basically, I gotta memorize two books about skydiving. That, and finally learn to pack a parachute… Back pain awaits =) I was playing some Simon says in the sky with Valerie, basically just following her movements (swimming in the sky, learning the mantis position, grabing my foot with my hand, etc…) Did more Tracking, some dive exits, and ended the day with a huge grin on my face, knowing that 1 month from now, I’ll be doing my A license exam…. » Read more…
