Evelyn 0 #1 September 30, 2004 Besides skydiving. Obviously everyone who posts on DZ.com loves to skydive, but I'm wondering what other activities people enjoy. I like camping at the beach, snowboarding, working out, bicycling, roller blading, reading, visiting wineries, taking cruises. What got me thinking about this is when I dropped off my gear early at Square One I explained that I had to leave to do family things and Brenda was like OMG I forget that people have lives outside of the DZ. So what do you like to do besides skydive? Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laurel 0 #3 September 30, 2004 Work my arse off. But since I'm a newly-wed, I spend as much time with William as possible, play on the internet, run (even though I haven't done this in a while), play with my dogs, play with my nonjumping friends, paint, grow herbs (legal ones), cook, bake, and watch the news (E!). THat's just a little sampling of what I enjoy........................................................................

skymama 37 #4 September 30, 2004 Sex. I just wanted to be the first person to say it. I'm not telling if it's true or not. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpinfarmer 0 #10 September 30, 2004 With winter coming I'll have to say snowmobile. When we've got the snow I ride with my buddies almost every night. Last year I put around 1500 mi. on the sled. Funny before skydiving came along I always had money to buy a new sled every year, now mine is three years old. In the summer I work almost all the time so I can sneak away on Sundays to jump. If I can I try to take in a couple tractor pulls during the summer. I'm also a volunteer firefighter so I spend a fair amount of time with that.

pullhigh 0 #14 September 30, 2004 Well since they already covered sex, I also enjoy base jumping and riding dirt bikes with my kids. We're taking the dirt bikes to the DZ this weekend and as my oldest was going to bed last night, he asked me if we could take a ramp with us this weekend. & years old and wanting to jump shit on his dirt bike already. I have no idea where he comes up with these crazy ideas.... Ganja "Dial 91 and wait for me to yell now" Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyyhi 0 #17 September 30, 2004 Woo hoo, I just discovered that there is still life outside of the DZ. . .I recalled that I used to always have a life but when I started jumping I kinda forgot about it. Camping, jet skiing, waterskiing, (and my new-found thrill) wakeboarding. Okay, pretty much anything to do with watersports other than scuba (cause my ears are bothered by it so much). I also snow ski and love to hike. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pajarito 0 #22 September 30, 2004 QuoteThis might ring a bell, then.... For me, it's horseback riding, skiing, shooting, computer gaming, reading, and music. Cool pics. That mountain was fairly unforgiving in places. Unless you stayed on the beginner slope, you pretty much had two choices...hard or hard. Very...very...fun, though! And fantastic scenery. It was also a great getaway from the usual monotonous daily life there. My team was close enough that we could alternate within the team and take fairly regular trips. It was cool. Attached is a picture of me and a teammate of mine on top of a radio observation post there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
