digurman 0 #1 August 7, 2003 hello everyone, Just made jump 30 at Spaceland, south of Houston and I can think of little else. Planning to Jump in Dallas this weekend. I have done other adrenaline rush activities, legal and not, but I've never experienced anything like skydiving. When I go outside and see a fine, white cloud formation superimposed on blue sky - I just go berserk! I get that same taste in my mouth that I get at about 12000 feet, when I know I'm going to be jumping soon. Not quite the same copper taste I've had before, but something wonderful. I love it when everyone starts snapping up and checking gear and getting ready. Smiles everywhere. Joy, love, thrill, fear, confidence, every wonderful thing I have ever felt all coming together for a moment in heaven. Words aren't real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

digurman 0 #3 August 7, 2003 Hey, cute picture. You know what? I can't seem to edit my profile. Under "modify" and don't see the option to attach a pic or signature file. I develop e-commerce sites(at least I used to - now I just sit around and think about skydiving), I'm not a total moron - I should be able to do this.

Rebecca 0 #4 August 7, 2003 What's up dude? I jump at Spaceland, too, but I don't know if we've met... I'll certainly keep an eye out for you (not this weekend, since you won't be there)! Welcome to DZ.com!! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psuCory 0 #6 August 7, 2003 I think we were all on a load together last Sunday. Granted most of the Spaceland population didn't know what to thing of it... as I was wearing a bumper suit!!! instead of my usual freefly garb. Oh... yeah... welcome to DZ.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Rebecca 0 #7 August 7, 2003 Oh yeah!! I remember you!! You were wearing shorts and a khaki t-shirt, right? Sorry if I didn't introduce myself- I was concentrating on my mantra: "Don't screw this up! Don't screw this up!" Which, of course, I promptly did... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Glad you see it our way! Enjoy . . . be safe and have fun! Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites digurman 0 #11 August 8, 2003 thanks. Everyone asks me what I like best. I like the plane ride, especially when we get near drop altitude and everyone starts getting excited. I love the exit and coming down the hil, then the freefall and the canopy landing. Then I love the rush to get packed for the next load and all the cool, happy, people milling around. The drive home at the end of the day sucks a little. Then a hard week of work (maybe one sick day to get back to the dz) and it is time to start the joy again.

Were you out there. I was in my custom, mustard suit. Everyone kept asking me where I got that ugly suit. I got a long spot and ended up sliding in in weeds 5 feet tall in the next field. fun, fun. It was like a scene from "Romancing the Stone." Words aren't real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
