In a _____ msg to All, Mark Davey said, an' I quote:

MD | We almost went once but some of the people were afraid to
MD | jump with some psycho instructor strapped to their backs.
MD | Know anywhere where you can take lessons so that you jump
MD | alone?

Why would you want to jump alone as a new learner?  The only way to jump 
alone is by static cord.  You don't learn free fall that way.  I am a 
beginner, and jumped in Glendive, Montana with a very good instructor.  I 
had NO problem with him strapped to my back...it was a secure feeling.

AWESOME, too.  I hope to begin now that spring is back.  I just have to 
figure out where, here in Olympia, Washington, there is a group...

Cheers!
