At what age did you start skydiving

Recommended Posts

Woohoo, I didn't have to check the oldest category! I started about 4 months shy of my 35th birthday. I was having a little mid-life crisis.

Now, now, it coulda been worse.

I took my ground AFF classes on my 40th, but we got rained out. Made jump #1, 4 days later.

Mid-life crisis didn't really set in until about a year later. Still getting over the mid-life crisis thing, but I think I now understand life a little better. Before skydiving I was pretty rigid about a lot of things, now I'm a lot more laid back. On the flip side of that, before skydiving I could concentrate, now I seem to have a very short attention span -- relatively speaking.

17 - Mid-winter in Colorado, I lied about my age, paid $60, and this whacked out guy that was operating a dropzone illegally (from what I understand now) on this little chicken farm hooked me up for my first static line, I think on a dash-1B. I heard years later that he ended up doing some time in jail - thank god for rebels!
