shannonlucas 0 #1 October 29, 2008 Saturday, I finally got back with it - 9 years after my first 7 jumps (4 static line and 3 AFF). A bunch of dot coms, graduate school, and a couple of years of paragliding later, I decided it's time to come back to skydiving. I've missed the sport, both the activity and the community of people around it. In the time between, I haven't found anything that really compared. I'm now jumping at Skydive Temple in Salado, TX. I really like this drop zone. It's just the right size, I thought the instruction was great, and I get a great vibe from the people there. This was the first time I wasn't nervous about jumping. Outside of skydiving, I'm a web developer. I do a lot of cycling, still paraglide on occasion, and have been taking improv classes lately. I also dabble with photography which I hope to eventually combine with skydiving. It's good to be back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #2 October 30, 2008 Welcome to the forums and welcome back to the sport! Skydiving photography and video is one of the most fulfilling things i have ever done with my life, get out there, pack on the required jumps and see for yourself. Have fun around here PJ Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shannonlucas 0 #4 October 30, 2008 Quote You have a lot going on. I expect I'll be letting paragliding go. It's fun, but doing it in Texas is a pain. Cycling is my main outdoor exercise; I do charity rides, but I don't race. Quote The improv classes are interesting. Will you perform in front of a crowd soon? I'm only in the level 1 class right now. I'm not expected to be ready to perform in front of an audience until I finish level 3. No one says I can't before then, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that just yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOSTandCRAZY 0 #5 October 30, 2008 Good deal, man. Keep with it. I have one AFF jump left, and outside of Skydiving, I'm a Systems Engineer and professional beer drinker. Who could ask for more?"Get these balls!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shannonlucas 0 #6 October 30, 2008 Hey, you're in Virginia. How far is your DZ from D.C.? I'm going to be in D.C. for a conference in March, and I've been thinking I might try to get in a jump at one of the DZs in the area there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
