popeyefireman 0 #1 May 3, 2005 I am just wondering what the age group for RW is. With so many Freeflyers out there, how many of the newer jumpers are staying strictly will RW as their discipline "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.

skybytch 273 #2 May 3, 2005 I know people from 18 to 70+ who do RW. I know people from 18 to 70+ who freefly. What makes you think age has anything to do with which discipline people choose? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #4 May 3, 2005 I do not understand this insistance of skydivers labeling themselves with their discipline. I am a skydiver. I aim to be the best that I can be. To answer your question though, I do not see how I can possibly be a good freeflyer if I'm not also good on my belly. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

AggieDave 6 #5 May 3, 2005 Wanna know whats funny? There's a lot more RW folks at Aggieland then FFers and we're a "college town" DZ with a lot of college students. Its all about what the student wants to become good at, but first they need to become good at RW then they can move on to FFing (for many obvious reasons that have discussed at length in other threads). So now we're getting some of them dabbling with FFing and I can see in a year we'll have a core group of folks that are pretty damned good at whatever they want to do in the air.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
