love2FreeFall 0 #1 June 10, 2006 Hello everyone!! I'm new in here so I just came to introduce myself and tell the story of how it all started. First we could say from the roof with my superman cape at the age of 6, but that didn't work out to well. So in Dec. 1999 while on a trip to Playa del Carmen,MX I went into I diving shop ready to go diving with my mom, but there was a sign that said "you always wanted to skydive" and I told my mom you know that is sooo true, so I had to convince here not to go diving and hello SKYDIVING!! Next morning I wasup and ready for my big jump, to bad I had to wait the whole day and the weather didn't allow me to make my jump, but the next day was my lucky day, that's when I made my first jump with Jurgen. I fell in love with the sport and the next week before returning to the states I went again for a second jump, this time I had to change instructors the first one had a little to much to drink...so I took my jump with Duncan. After those 2 jumps of course I wanted to be able to jump alone, but with the end of my trip my dream of jumping alone went back to to being a dream of who knows maybe one day? It all changed last year when I was on a fatal car accident that almost takes my life, but fortunally I was really lucky to be one of the survivors and being able to write about it today. That for me was the worst thing that had ever happened, before that I was never scared of doing anything I used to love all types of thrills, the thought of dying had never even crossed my mind, but after that lots of things changed , I didn’t want to go out because I was scared of something happening again, after 4 months I just got sick of feeling that way so I tried to get over my fear by going skiing with my family like the year before, the first day I was mentally screwed up, I was on top of the mountain and my legs felt paralyzed just as soon as I would start sliding down into the fog. I could not ski to scared, the next day I had to get an instructor who finally made me feel a little more comfortable until I started to enjoy myself again. I knew I needed a little time out from the everyday life, so I was able to go away to Playa for 4 days, when I got there, I went to the DZ to say hi to my friends and after watching a couple of jumps from the beach my good friend Victor got me to trust him and take a jump. For the first time in a long time I had again that feeling of freedom, happiness and the most important part just letting go again without restrictions of holding myself back….Now I got my addiction back and I’m ready to complete my dream of skydiving on my own....that’s when I finish making my savings ….But this time there is nothing stopping me life can be cut to short like to waste time without doing the things that you love. Wait, did someone actually read up to here? If someone did thanks so much!!!! and I hope to be flying very soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
