ro.is.cute 0 #1 January 5, 2005 Hi. Name's Roger, though everyone calls me ro. Totally new to skydiving, in fact don't do my course 'till Sat at Strathallan in Scotland. Petrified. Completely. Can't think why I signed up - moment of boredom/madness when I was snowboarding. NEVER carry a mobile when you're snowboarding. About me: Male, I think , 39. Mature student of environmental science. Ace runner, cool 'boarder, lousy swimmer, egotist, somewhat arrogant, loyal, 5' 8", 136 lbs wet, argumentative, kind to kittens , sometime usenet troll , drive a Fiat , sometime road-race cyclist, and dashing all-round good guy. Yeah, I know, with all that going for me I'm doomed on my first jump... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
