Default Norcal newbie checking in

Not that I expect to have time to check out and wave off, that's skydive altitude, but intro's seem the norm.
I am packing matt. Some norcal people know me.
Took the rigger's course with KW at skydance last year. Need to test and get my ticket still.
Heading out to Lodi soon, get current.
300+ skyjumps, alot of packjobs. 6k+
I have 1 base. The power tower. Thanks Kev!
Looking to get gear, FJC and start hucking.

See ya
Matt

The best advise now, is read Getting Into BASE

There is plenty of valuable information about where to go now. Including FJC's to attend, and then what to do next, after the FJC. As well as Skydiving practice that will help you in BASE.
