BillyVance 34 #26 March 2, 2010 Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote *** Have you joined the Deaf Skydiving club out of Perris? What club? Is this full of old skydivers who didn't protect their hearing? FYI, I co-organized a Deaf World Record event at Perris in 2003. Then we have probably met, I am Gypsy, a cameraman out of Perris...I filmed them when they first got together! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/onekick/apes/swoop2-1.jpg Cool... can't say I remember you... Craig O'Brien did all the video work for our event. That's the only time I've been to Perris."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cocheese 0 #39 March 3, 2010 Dude you worry me. Get a grip. Know you are a skydiver and that you will be in the air soon and all will be good. Take some time today to make a few mental skydives in places you wish to jump. Try to laugh about anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #40 March 3, 2010 Quote For 40seconds my mind is quiet. I'm obviously doing something wrong then... I'm usually thinking about things during most of my skydives... making sure I'm in the right place to get the shot... that the sun is where I want it to be (relative to me)... listening/observing for signs that it's time to break off... any number of things are going through my head throughout the skydive... There is often a moment when I first leave the step that is relaxing... but alas if I let it last too long I might lose my subject... of course I enjoy what I do in skydiving... but it is by no means peaceful... in the direct sense that you're speaking of... I suppose in another 1000 or so jumps it might become second nature and the peacefulness will return but until then I'm going to enjoy the activity I have when I skydive...

Icon134 0 #45 March 3, 2010 QuoteFine. But you're on the road to skydiver burn out if you can't find peace in the air.I never said I didn't find or have peace in the air... just that I was usually occupied in the air... I don't mind being occupied... in fact I quite enjoy it... I would rather be busy then not (in general)... I don't generally very much enjoy just sitting around doing nothing on the ground... why should it be any different in the air... I find enjoyment and peace in analysis and such... having said that sometimes it is nice to get out... pull high and enjoy a skydive... or leave the GPS at home on a bike ride or run... and just go get lost and not analize every little thing... but just because one persons idea of a peaceful skydive is one thing... it doesn't mean it's the same for everyone...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...
