Sillygirl100 0 #1 June 9, 2005 I was just wondering...I love skydiving, there is no doubt about it and I do have other things in my life aside from it. I have been in the sport for almost 4 years and the first year of course I was blown away by the people at the dz, and dz life in general, second year the same thing, this season I'm kind of sad, so many things have changed and things just don't seem as great as when I was new. Now I know the newness wears off of everything eventually, but is it possible to become "bored" of the dz and with the people? Or is it wrong to say that maybe the people you thought were so great kind of suck? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pop 0 #2 June 9, 2005 I am going thwough the same thing right now. I jumped for 3 years and then got burnt out. I thinkI got burnt out more from politics and fake people than the jumping itself. So I decided to hang up the sport for one year and come back next year with a fresh start. I havent jumped in 2 months now, and you know what, I am not bored. And I am never home either....there is so much to do. But every once in a while I do the actual thrill of freefall. It will deifnitly be fun to get back into it next year, and I am looking forward to it7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wonder you haven't stopped - who knows what the shock would do to your system? Better to wind it down gently... I'm sippin' a beer, even though I'm sick and I shouldn't.

This season started out pretty good, I was happy to see people and get back into the air, I love jumping and finally feel like I'm getting better at it, I can't really pin point what it is about the dz.. but it's really disapointing, I want to get better and become a decent skydiver, but I can't bring myself to get my ass out of the rack and be "excited" to go there, it's the same old bs, the same drama, the same gossip, it's exhausting.

Sebazz1 2 #19 June 9, 2005 Um in the order received then a serious answer... -Yes, No or was that No, Yes Things change and your perceptions of the sport and the people will change. I think skydiving is seasonal and often you will not see the same people and the people that are always there have their thing going on. Try new DZ's, try new disciplines, take a break or keep pluggin away. I know I'm shedding my tourist rating come hell or high water Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
