JailBird 0 #1 November 20, 2007 Hi, every1! Im new to the sport and have recently found the forums here on DZ.com.. I say that Im 8 months old cause I recently got another chance at life and not just cause of how long Ive been in sport! My 1st solo jump was exactly 1 month after I got attacked so it was kinda a big deal for me...I am posting this cause recently Ive been inundated with questions about this...and for those of you who havent heard click on the link below...I wasnt there for training! I was there for a job as dive master and boat capt. for an "eco tour" scuba shop! I thought it was a great way to move away from my psycho cheating ex! dont get me wrong Im no peach but I NEVER flipped out, called names, cheated or anything in that realm! I may be a cynical bastard but for the most part Im a happy go lucky kinda guy who likes to wakeboard snowboard skydive or do anything else fast enough for me to do something stupid! some people have a hard time understanding how I dont have to work to do all this... some think Im some sort of loser for not wanting to "better" myself!..but quite frankly I am "bettering" myself by skydiving! Im fortunate enough to be indepenantly wealthy which has allowed me to make over 340 jumps in less than 8 months! I want to be an AFF instructor and SDU/FF coach...if that many jumps isnt devotion/drive I dont know what is! not too metnion if you havent been violently attacked or assaulted then you have no frame of referance..it would prolly cost more to go see a shrink anyway! I am a very lucky guy and have a differnt out look on life! I want to do something with my life instead of merely existing like I was before skydiving! I think that I have finally found my place in life and that is in the air! Im sure most of you understand..however Im sure there are those of you who think Im some sort of A hole but it takes one to know one hahahaha! http://bvibeacon.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=709&Itemid=5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
