NtheSeaOrSky 0 #26 April 19, 2002 Swappie, don't go! And even worse, don't go bowling! If you still insist on leaving, I suggest horsebackriding.....its very close to skydiving........its all about balance, you get the nice thigh bruises, you gotta hang on to the steering lines, and when ya hit the ground going fast, you feel like you had a super hard opening.....just a better option than bowling!

Pammi 0 #31 April 19, 2002 Sorry Slappie that you're getting a hard time! I wouldn't be able to do this sport at all if not for Merrick paying for all of it when we first started dating, then using his credit to buy my rig and so forth. I think people who stick with it under more difficult circumstances are true skydivers. It's harder for those who have kids, lower finances, etc and that much more rewarding too!Closing pin necklaces! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #32 April 19, 2002 No Shit!!!! Both my Brother and sister and law have fallen off their horses recently. Luckily, nothing more than some really nice bumps and bruises plus some stiff walking for a week or so. My mom on the other hand was seriously injured a few years ago. Had a horse flip over on her and broke all of her ribs, crushed her cocyx and cracked her pelvis. She was hurtin. I remember trying to gently roll her through the airport over the tile floor in a wheel chair.... In sport skydiving the worst injuries I have had were a cracked cocyx and bruised pride.

bbarnhouse 0 #33 April 19, 2002 Acccckkkkk~ When I was young I used to exercise thoroughbreds at our racetrack.Well I was fairly short and no one was around to give me a leg up ao I moved this horse over to the wash area so that I could use the rail to stand on. I also had a bucket in my hand (white) that I was just going to move after I was seated. Well hells bells if that horse didnt rear and knock me into the side of the tack room. How was I to know the damn critter was shy of white objects.....grrrrrrrIt only takes a little pixie dust...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spy38W 0 #41 April 20, 2002 Quote I'm tagged a whuffo I never tagged you a whuffo, don't go bowling just b/c of shit said here. The great thing about skydiving is the abililty to F-up royally, come back, and do it again right. I came Oh-So-Close to giving up because I had to cutaway two jumps in a row. Not because of fear or anything, (I love to cutaway, brought the adrenaline back from that first jump, but then again, I'm a psychopath), but because I was tired of taking shit from one jumper (ALT). But, I stayed around, doing a few jumps per weekend, (but mostly flying skydivers, being part of the crowd, and seeing what I was missing). Now I'm back to my full-strength self, not being able to go 2-3 days without thinking of a grand way to quit my job by opening the door and saying, F-you, I quit, and then jumping... BTW, I am 80 - 90 % sure this is how I'm going to submit my resignation, and my boss typically has me flying over Immokalee (SkyDive Naples) and Clewiston (Air Adventures) on the way to his second office, so keep track of the news. --Drunkometer 2002sober [··················+···] hammered Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lippy 918 #44 April 20, 2002 Don't fret Slappie. I've done more jumps on student gear than anybody at my DZ, and at least 80% were paid for by packing Mantas. I finally got my rig, and I chose that over a car. I walk everywhere cause I'd rather fly somewhere every once in a while. My point is, where there's a will, there's a way[/inspirational Disney music]. Whoever called you a whuffo is either a dumbass or a whuffo themselves. The fact that this offended you show's you care about this sport a hell of a lot. And if for no other reason, don't take up bowling because, well, the shoes are fucking gross!!!- live like a poor man so I can play like a rich oneRoger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
