pfd32713 0 #1 October 2, 2008 My name is Ryan. I went skydiving 9/21 for a "once in a lifetime experience" something i could say i had the guts to do just once. It didnt hit me right away but its all i though about. By the next day i thought to myself, how will i ever top that. I knew i could never go back to the life i knew. I was back in a week making as many jumps as i could. I never cared about clouds and weather before.My whole life i worked and planned for the future. Always planning for the next step. I know now i was just existing.I want to live and experience and feel everything life has to offer. Ive only completed b1 but falling with my own chute knowing that the only one getting me to the ground is me was amazing. I have a new respect and admiration for all involved .

mr_music11 0 #6 October 2, 2008 Welcome! Yes.. skydiving definatly has a way of reminding you that you are alive! Nothing like a little attitude adjusment with a little alititude adjustment! Good luck on your training! C'mon on out to Nor Cali where the fun is high and the skies ususally blue! Enjoy!If flying is piloting a plane.. then swimming is driving a boat. I know why birds sing.. I skydive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brucet7 0 #9 October 10, 2008 My daughter told me today that she loves to see me talk about skydiving. There is a life and a passion that radiates. I thanked my wife for letting me take up this expensive sport. "You're welcome. And it is cheaper than a psychiatrist."
