KennC 0 #1 October 23, 2007 I started jumping at Beiseker in 93/94, completely not intentional, I only stopped in for a coffee and to watch some friends jump. They never ever did show up and I found myself making my first jump later that evening. I jumped for a couple seasons but due to money issues and being a single dad I shelved diving until this year again now that the kids are grown and pretty much on their own now. My oldest girl has one tandem, my son has 4 tandems and his first jump course and my youngest is anxiously waiting for next season and her first jump ... nothing would please me more than to someday launch a four way with my kids. We'll see! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KennC 0 #7 October 24, 2007 Thanks everbody, it should be much better on the pocketbook now, I was able to get a good used set of gear from Pacific Skydivers and what a difference it makes in jump prices. .. thanks again for the welcome :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slingerapie 0 #8 October 24, 2007 Welcome here :) Your kids are lucky with their dad being a skydiver... COol that they are in to it as well! My mom is scared out of her mind everytime she knows that I will be jumping. She doesn't understand why I love it so much... she is afraid of hights.... LOL. (my brother doesn't understand either though, and doesn't even want to do a tandem....) Hope to see some pics of your family 4-way some time.. Don't try to live forever, you will not succeed!
