Alexg3265 0 #55 February 19, 2014 My wife and I both skydive and when either of us are having a shitty/great or anything in between type of day/week whatever, then that's a good enough reason to go jump... Pretty much leads to jumping all day, every day off. Work and jump. Neither of us are complaining and can't get enough. Yes, you can be jealous.I was that kid jumping out if his tree house with a bed sheet. My dad wouldn't let me use the ladder to try the roof... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much leads to jumping all day, every day off. Work and jump. Neither of us are complaining and can't get enough. Yes, you can be jealous. John's wife jumps, too. I don't think he has reason to be jealous. In general, though, I think the fact that both parties in a couple jump just makes it easier to plan out weekend/vacation time. I know it does for my b.f. and me. It doesn't make us any more special, though. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
