gonzalesna 0 #26 November 16, 2009 Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote We always just tell the students to breath that in, and tell them, "That is the smell of fear"! Well, I've always gotten at least a little nervous on the way to altitude... Unless your doing something unusual or a demo, that goes away after about a 1000 jumps! Less for some people! Part of why I enjoy Students so much, I get to relive that feeling! It's not the skydiving... it's the leaving the ground. I'm afraid of heights... I'm gettin' gassy just thinkin' about it. I can relate, My wife is afraid of Hieghts too, she has little over 1700 jumps now, still wont get on the roof of our house, Or cliff sive with me and my son, but now . she sleeps on the ride to altitude...to you will adjust, just hang in there! Actually, I don't wanna lose it... I dig it. Especially the sharing part.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
