SkiD_PL8 0 #52 April 6, 2005 QuoteI use to also get on the swings and swing as high as I could possibly go ...and just to the point that I hit the max height before the swing went back 'down'...I would LEAP OFF IT AND FLY!!!!! lol..should have known I'd be jumping out of something someday... I did the same thing but I just did a backflip at the top instead of jumping out forward most of the time. Guess I was more destined to freefly? Greenie in training.

kai2k1 0 #53 April 6, 2005 Every chance I get I still Climb the tree at my parents house. I'm afraid to go as high since i weigh considerably more than i did when i was a kid There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenHall 0 #54 April 6, 2005 Any of you guys "swoop" with swings when you were real little?? We'd get as high/fast as we could on the swing, then jump off just as the swing started going up again. If done right, you'd fly pretty far only inches off the ground and have to start running to keep from falling over once you landed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pop 0 #55 April 6, 2005 QuoteMy husband thinks that all (or a very large %) of skydivers were treeclimbers as kids. We asked around the DZ one day and it did appear to be a large % that were treeclimbers. So did you climb trees when you were a kid? Christina I think a majority of nonskydivers out there are also tree climbers7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
