I'd have to say Chicken, since it tastes like everything and nothing at the same time! So Jilly, meet me at Rantoul, and I'll judge for sure. It's your life, live it!

FlyGuy 0 #9 July 12, 2003 I think DZ politics might have something to do with it too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #10 July 12, 2003 This may be hard for Normal People (you, me, and maybe three others) to understand, but some people just don't ever get into it. I see those 4-5 jump student just standing around, not really caring if they get to go up or not. In a sport like ours, those who don't push on diligantly in the beginning get washed out in about 5 or 6 skydives.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
