jumpingjunkie81 0 #1 February 8, 2009 In the words of Bolas: "Generally people that start jumping fall into one of the following categories: Bucket List or Break Up. Some fall into both." So when you started jumping, which category did you fall into? Or was it neither? I am in the break up category! *~Tammy~* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearless_chris 1 #2 February 8, 2009 I wanted to do it for a couple years, after I saw some videos from the guys at work, and watching a couple demo jumps. My circumstances didn't allow me to jump until a year after my divorce so I went with neither, because I wanted to do it earlier."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewEckhardt 0 #22 February 8, 2009 This one night I was out drinking with friends and one of them said we should go skydiving. That still seemed like a fine idea when we were sober so the two out of three of us who thought it was a good idea found a drop zone, gave up on that one when they get rescheduling us and having "airplane trouble," found another dropzone, and went skydiving.
