fastmartin2002 0 #1 May 23, 2002 YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT FUCKING SUCKS MORE THAN IN ANYTHING THAT HAS EVER FUCKING SUCKED BEFORE. FOR THOSE OF U OUT THERE WHO LIVE WITHIN RELATIVELY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A DZ CONSIDER YOURSELF FUCKING LUCKY. I LIVE IN RURAL EASTERN KENTUCKY WHERE THE CLOSEST DZ IS 202 MILES AWAY IN BARDSTOWN, KY. THE ONLY THING ANYONE WANTS TO DO AROUND HERE IS HUNT AND FISH, MAKES ME SICK-----THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE SKYDIVER IN THE AREA AND HE IS ONE COOL DUDE. SO, FOR THOSE OF U OUT THERE WHO JUST LIVE RIGHT DOWN THE BLOCK FROM SHEER ECSTASY THIS IS ONE DUDE THAT IS LITERAALY GREEN WITH ENVY------MAKES ME SICK.

jtval 0 #5 May 23, 2002 fastmartin,YOU should consider YOURSELF lucky, too! I live in a COUNTRY that does not skydive. not by my own choice either. I was forced to move here with my job. at least you can still drive to the dz. I am not even allowed to own a vehicle here. just when you thinks its bad enough...it can get worse. when I did live in the states. I ,too, had to drive 3.5 hours just to jump once, If i was lucky. but honestly,isnt it worth the drive?Life's a bitch, and I'm her Pimp!JThttp://community.webshots.com/user/jtval100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallRate 0 #6 May 23, 2002 JT, any chance you currently reside in Singapore? I figure if they won't let chewing gum into that country they probably wouldn't allow skydiving either. FallRate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
