Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for some time and now I feel it's time to make my first post. After dreaming about skydiving for most of my live, i did a tandem in 1999 and was totally enthusiastic. Took me some time, but I finally got around to taking a course this february. Lots of fear, lots of fun.
Now I'm only two jumps away from graduation, and for 4 weekends it's been RAINING. This sucks! I'm sitting at home and reading everything skydiving-related I can get my hands on. Online and offline. I want to be up there! Now!
Well I guess I'll just have to wait another week *sigh*
Anyway. German-speaking folks aboard? If so, and if it's raining at your DZ too, maybe you're bored enough to check out my skydiving homepage at http://www.wortwerkstatt.at/skydiving/ (some fotos. jumplog. a very personal answer to the question "why")
looking forward to "blue" conversation, as long as the skies remain grey ;-)

Hey not to worry i have just got my CAT A and least my lodger said i had (it came through the post today) and here i am stuck on an oil platform 40 miles of the coast of west africa looking at blue skies and light breezes argggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh.
if i could send some sunshine your way i could, but c'est la vie, but not to worry i get back to englands green and pleasant lands where i have got 4 weeks off to jump my arse off!!!!!
and hopefully the weather will be good.
heres hoping!!

Hey Andrea, sorry about that rain. Remember – April showers bring May jumps! Screw the flowers, looking at the tops of clouds is much prettier! Welcome, nothing but blue conversations here. Okay, maybe not always, but that’s fine too – if ya can’t jump, bitch about it !! It’s our god given right, and I exercise that right quite often .
See ya!

I will! thanx for listening. there must be lots of good jumps ahead this year, or else... or else I'll just go on whining, i guess
(a little surprised that someone answers at this time of the night... but then it's probably day where you're located... i just love the web ...)

Ooops, i thought I was still logged in... anyway, I couldn't think of anything worse than rain... but blue skies with no DZ around are definitely worse

How about blue skies, nice warm weather and you had a stupid injury and screwed up your knee so could only watch others jump?

How about blue skies, warm weather, nice breezes, being physically fit, and having a 12 page paper due in two days.

I should think that an hour a page should be good enough. That gives you 36 other hours. You must be able to use a couple of them to jump. After all, that will help clear your brain of cobwebs so you'll be able to write a better paper. Right???

moose,
yout translation was waht i was trying to say yes. if ya feel like coming over send me an e-mail. there area few nice dz's real close to me in either germany or belgium. they have porter, caravans, twin otter, nice turbines to jump...i normally don't jumpa at em since i have a nice cessna dz about 15 minutes away instead of the hour drive to these places. i know you can get a great deal on ryan air flying out os stanstead to hahn. that is if ya want to visit my neck of the wood. there sure is alot of other cool places in germany though.

nice page! i can't speak for than the numbers 1-5 in german and i still like the page, heh!
(now write an english version )

Glad you guys & girls like my page - But an English version? Don't think so... There are tons of english pages out there... can't do better than that
Seems there are worse things than looking at the rain outside... Having to write a paper isn't one of them you can always jump in the day and write in the night !!!
Donna, I hope your knee heals well & soon!
Lisa, what's a booboo???
I'm headed to the fitnesscenter now to do something healthy after far too many hours in front of the computer... need some arm muscles for packing
read u ...

An booboo is an injury...kinda like an owie... silly American baby talk
In my case I'm recovering from back surgery. Last jump was in October, hoping to be back in the air in June.
