Motorcycles
Boats
excessive eating
excessive drinking

Its not really things I quit because of skydiving, its things I lost intrest in because jumping was more fun.

Mt. Biking
Paintball
survival camping


There are others, but those are the big ones.

Funny.. I didnt start drinking excessively until I started skydiving..

I quit saving money when I started skydiving.

My golf game has really taken a back seat since I started jumpin.

The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

[jlmiracle 7]

I stopped rollerblading cause I was scared I would get hurt and couldn't skydive.

I wanted to be Martha Stewart before I started skydiving, so I gave up wanting to be all domestic and crafty and stuff.

I also gave up cleaning (as often).

Sleep . . . I used to get all of my sleep on the weekends . . . now I get NONE.

I quit watching my bank account grow and started watching it dig a nice size hole.

[Conundrum 1]

Well I havent quit it... but instead of saving money for a new motorcycle, I spend it all on skydiving.

Oh and snowboarding. I didnt make it up to the mountains at all this season. Why? Becuase I either was at the dz or I didnt want to spend the money on the mtn, when I could spend it skydiving.

Snowboarding has kinda gone to the side, as well as attendance of baseball games last season...... probably the same for this year too. I probably should find a job one of these days too........

How about people?.. I think relationships might end because of skydiving priorities also.

Sad thought, but can happen.

Ooh good post!


Skateboarding- was afraid I'd hurt myself and wouldn't be able to skydive
Going out on Friday nights-always have to get up early to drive out to the DZ
Street fairs- San Francisco has so many but I haven't spent a weekend in the city in 2 years (unless it's raining)
Heavy drinking on week nights.. ok I didn't really love this but was doing it every night until I started skydiving.

All the money that I had saved up to buy a beautiful new car (most likely an Audi) went towards skydiving. I gave up designer clothing...well, most of the time. I also gave up jewelry, accessories, shoes, purses. I am selling everything that I can sell to pay for gear. I gave up any kinds of beauty treatments. I gave up my retirement $$$ (I know that's bad). I gave up any extras...movies, dinners, etc. Also, I am not buying any home furnishings, anymore, at all. "Real" work, as opposed to what I have been doing lately, in order to have time to skydive...I need to get back to my career, though. Seeing my loved ones as much as I should...again, something that I need to change.

*Beautiful new car
*Designer clothing, shoes, jewelry
*Beauty treatments
*Retirement money
*Movies, dinners, etc.
*Home furnishings
*Active career in design
*Time spent with loved ones

It is worth it to me...right now...to give up these things in order to skydive more because it brings me such happiness.

Homebody friends
The idea of only having to work one job

My ex-girlfriend. Once she laid down the ultimatum of skydiving or her, I opted for jumping.

Pickup basketball, softball leagues, and a fun little game called Warhammer.

Oh yea. almost forgot how many friends who don't skydive faded away quite a bit.

Haven't totally quit , but seriously cut back on golf and skiing. New schedule coming out should allow for golf activity to increase again.

Restoring my '68 Camaro
Eating
Whuffo friends
Any possibility of someday living a "normal" life

Replaced the above with skydiver friends, jumping occasionally and drinking heavily. Pretty good trade, imho.

Wow! You need beauty treatments? I'm not so sure about that.

Okay. . . . .so it's a cheesy pick up line!!

For me it would have to be:

climbing
Ju-Jitsu
Triathlon
oh and general boredom!!
