SkymonkeyONE 4 #29 March 7, 2007 QuoteYou want some cheese with that? Skydiving is what you make of it. I totally agree. If you DO quit, just make sure you sell your "big sucky main" and the rest of your gear to some young jumper for cheap and not leave it in your closet to rot.

Tonto 1 #30 March 7, 2007 QuoteIm thinking of giving up skydiving. I havnt made a jump in 6 months. No one who has stopped smoking for 6 months says "I'm thinking of giving up smoking." You've already given up skydiving. Now you either need to start again, or admit to yourself that you've already given it up. tIt's the year of the Pig.

skycat 0 #32 March 7, 2007 If you can travel is money isn't an issue, get some tunnel time to work on the skill/discipline you want to work on that way you have the skills to get on more loads with other people. Now I'm not saying bigways, but easily 4-6 ways belly/2-4 ways freeflying. It won't help your canopy skills, but you will be able to hold your own on a skydive.Fly it like you stole it!

mikempb 0 #35 March 8, 2007 It sounds like you made up your mind already, I have a list 2wice that long why I shouldnt jump, but i love skydiving as much as you can love a non living thing. Theres NOTHING wrong stopping a sport you dont want to do anymore. I Wish you luck and If you ever change your mind..... we'll all be here!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JumpShipGypsy 0 #36 March 8, 2007 I guess i shoud give a little more detail for those that dont know me. I started jumping when i was a DZ pilot. Now i fly for a bush Alaska airline. I have a good container and a brand new reserve, but my main is a Rascal235. if you dont know what that is, its a F111 square from the 80's. Its worthless, so i cant trade it for anything. Ive demoed and would love a pilot188 or sabre 190. but canopys that size are rarely availble used. (i weigh about 190) For those that do know me. thanks for the support. Texas soon and Spokane in the summer should be in my plans for my time off from work. Ben P.S. I can afford a new main and AAD, but i think id rather spend the money on other things like guns, learning to fly seaplanes, overseas travel, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

havensiangst 0 #46 April 7, 2007 When i start BASEjumping for 4years ago i started thinking skydiving sucks and i really struggling to keeping my skydivinglicence..i only concentrated on my new love ..BASE..but i found out that keeping my license whasn`t that stupid anyway, now i use my skydivingequipment to test out new thing..like ..tracking..wingsuit from plane..i don`t have much contact with skydivers anymore but i using my local DZ as a workbench for BASE.. i wish i could use my BASErigg.. unfortunately there are things like rules and regulation i must follow.

jasonRose 0 #47 April 7, 2007 QuoteIm thinking of giving up skydiving. I havnt made a jump in 6 months. I dont work at a DZ anymore, and i dont have any skydivers to hang around with at my current job or home. I would need to invest a bunch of money to keep jumping, my cypress expired and my main is too big/sucks. I dont have anyone to jump with on a regular basis and my skills have gone as far as they can doing solos. thoughts? On the plus side, i have plenty of time off and can travel cheaply to any DZ in the country. Kill yourself!! edit to add: I am kidding of course, however you should smash your head into something hard to beat some sense into yourself. That is all. Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
