deaffreeflyer 0 #1 August 20, 2003 I often wonder if I am the only deaf skydiver that comes here. Are any of you are deaf or hard of hearing? Please let me know and get in touch! Oh yeah, I'll be coming over from UK to stay in Perris to do hardcore jumping for a couple of weeks (Sept 6th - 20th). Will any of you be there and would like to do some fun FF, tracking or RW jumps with me - before, and after the 'Deaf World Record' event. Hope to see you there!

bkdice 0 #2 August 20, 2003 Quote I often wonder if I am the only deaf skydiver that comes here. Nope. We have 2 deaf skydivers at our DZ, both of which visit dz.com. Lets see if they pipe in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycurlycat 0 #7 August 20, 2003 Yup, I'm one of them...been skydiving a lil over a year now. Shame I won't be able to make it out to the DWR this year but hopefully next time it happens. You have a blast and I know you'll meet bunch out at Perris during this time. I skydive at Skydive Virginia! which is located in Louisa, VA so if you're in that area, come on and play with us in the sky :-)PMS #113 PMTS #19 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colintri 0 #9 August 20, 2003 Yo! Another deaf guy here! I skydive at Louisa, Virginia with Skycurlycat too. I recently started in the sport, and I'm about to complete the process of getting "A" license soon. Come on out at our dropzone if you want to play with us. You're more than welcome down there. I'd love to visit Perris and meet the deaf gang but it's not possible for me. Hope you will have a ton of fun at Perris! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #13 August 20, 2003 Nope, there's David down at Spaceland. One hell of a guy and one very good FFer, he's also deaf. Although I had a great conversation with him on the way to altitude once, he reads lips very well and he can speak fairly well also. All around one hell of a guy.

Clownburner 0 #14 August 20, 2003 Well, I do have some hearing loss but don't yet qualify as hard of hearing. However, I will be at Perris at least once or twice while you're out there, and I'd love to jump with you!7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loudtom 5 #16 August 20, 2003 I was just in the Texas State Record Jumps with John Woo. He is deaf and did a great job every jump. I docked on him every jump and he was never late. Tracks like a rock but gets there great. pm me and i will give you his mail address... loudtomtom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colintri 0 #17 August 20, 2003 Well, not quite close to Gallaudet University. I imagine it's about an hour and a half of driving between Skydive Virginia! and Gallaudet. That is if you have a heavy right foot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a certified Interpreter for the Deaf, and most time end up interpreting for John when we are on big way events.

mouth 0 #21 August 20, 2003 I'm not deaf but I do have selective hearing. I'll be in Perris some while you are there and would love to meet you. I'd say we would jump but I've promised to wait until I get the all clear from my ortho guy and get away from those sweet PT people. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

skycurlycat 0 #22 August 20, 2003 Met John Woo and didn't get to jump with him but while we were on weather hold, I got to know him and all the awesome dives he's been on. Looking forward jumping with him real soon. He's constantly traveling and jumping at different dzs right now so hard to catch him these days. Say hi to him at Perris for me PMS #113 PMTS #19 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaffreeflyer 0 #23 August 21, 2003 On never mind you can't make it to the DWR. I am looking forward to meet John Woo and David Armstrong - I heard so many good things about them. Do you reckon you would come over to Europe for DWR 2005/6? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaffreeflyer 0 #24 August 21, 2003 Cool! When you're at Perris, you won't missed a group of deaf skydivers that easy! Don't be afraid and ask me or us to jump with you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
