colbrodie 0 #53 April 11, 2003 Matt- Be warned that two truly old people (by your standards anyway ) are moving onto the plantation tonight. It would be mighty nice of you to show us some Southern hospitality and create a nice path to keep our wheelchairs from sinking into the mud! See you tonight for cockatillios - oh, wait, you can't legally buy cockatillios yet!

AirMail 0 #65 April 12, 2003 I don't know whether I love or hate these age questions. May 15th is my 1st skydiving birthday and my real age is 58. Maybe if I add them together and divide by 2....Yeah, that's it...29 1/2. And if I add them together it equals the number of jumps I've made. I love numbers.I'm just starting to "really" live.

mouth 0 #66 April 12, 2003 I told you that you were Dopey starting this age thread, geez. OK, I'll be 39 in less than 4 hours. I have 399 jumps because all you children had to go in for dinner last Sunday and didn't want to play just 5 more minutes so we could get one more load. I've been jumping almost 3 years and having a blast. I've been through labor twice, refuse to walk on hot coals but have no problem putting my cold feet on you, have a daughter almost your age (forget it kid), and will jump with you anyday and go buy the beer. I always heard the closer to 40 you are the worse life looks...lies I tell you ALL LIES. Lisa -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

FreeFlyFreaky 0 #70 April 12, 2003 Had to chime here. I used to lurk a lot and post some, Sangiro featured a couple of my writings in the column section. I just happen to tap in and felt like writing to you guys. I just turned 46 on April 2. I have been lucky enough to be freeflying since jump 20 when I was taken on a head-down with Steve-O, and Larry at Skydive America in July of 2000. I’ve been lucky enough to be trained by and jump with the best in the world. I first saw “The Clouds Edge” in March 2000 and was A-licensed soon thereafter and began my jumping career with everyone in that video. It has been an amazing time ever since then. I just want to say thanks to all of you that I have gotten to know. I’m a guy who has done everything from Himalayan mountains to cave diving Florida’s springs. I lived an traveled and circumnavigated the world doing nearly everything you can imagine. Fishing, hunting, hiking, climbing, biking, racing, and flying all corners of the planet. Mountains, rivers, gorges and oceans have been my playground. I’ve been lucky to say the least. But it wasn’t until skydiving until I found my people. Of all the sports and activities I’ve ever done it has only been skydiving where I felt that everyone is an equal. Doesn’t matter your jump number. I’ve either been there or eventually will be. Whatever your number the quest is always the same. To be better next jump and enjoy the shit out of this one. Because this is it. This is it folks. Here and now amongst the greatest group of people on the planet sharing a special thing. The fun quotient is off the charts. Thanks for the fun. Wanna go jump? Whit oh btw, I don't look my age and will embarass the pants off of most of you young'ns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve1 5 #74 April 13, 2003 Sebazz, When I jumped with you at Lost Prairie I could have sworn that I was almost twice your age and that you had about a thousand jumps more than 180 jumps. Little did I know but you are actually three years older than I am. I'm just wondering what your secret is to longevity?......Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
