Who influenced you?

[Daizey 0]

My biggest influence so far has been from JT.

I can honestly say that my love for skydiving came right after i saw JT's first video and pics. I thought it was awesome that I had a cousin who skydived and i wanted to be just like him. I was about 15 at the time, so at that point all i could do was dream. Over the next few years though i learned so much from JT. And this spring he helped me take skydiving from my dreams to my reality
From show me those pictures to teaching me things and helping me achieve my dreams, hes definitely made the biggest impact in my skydiving life-hey, if it werent for him, i may not even have a skydiving life.

Who was it in your skydiving life that has influenced you?

Probably everyone that i've met so far has influenced me in one way or another,
from really modest skygods to very timid students, to all-out self absorbed assholes.

I'm pleased to say there has been far more good than bad so far.

the visuals and the beauty of the sport itself for what it really is, purely at its very core. Skydiving desire must come from within. I believe that no one person can really influence one , in this sport. It is you.

Lots of people in different ways. A non jumper to start initially. Kelly Eisenhoff, Sonic, Kruse, the Jestream boys, Pancake, Boxman, Doug Park, the lawndarts, John Eddowes... I'm sure I'll be influenced my many more as time goes by as well.

He has been for about 7 or 8 weeks, he probably will keep doing that until the new owners of the DZ in Granbury start it up and start running that DZ right.

aww, thanks kristi
My biggest influences were Billy weber and Kieth larrett. but if I didnt mentoin all the ppl form Daytona I would be cheating them.
even our very own JCEMAN

BZ,Mike meyer, fred brown, tanya hannigton, damn they all made the dream seem so reachable.

I had found the skies by doing research I didnt know a skydiver who brought me to the dz. but, Onbce i got there I found some mentors in alot of different aspects of skydiving.

(read my post in the incident thread, I think my appreciation for Billy Webers training his obvious)

Let's say it all together now slowly........"It's all about Clay..." Hey....at least I didn't let the rumor start again. I couldn't believe the things people said the last time a chick slept in the video room with me. Geez......the stories people make up....
