piratemike 0 #2 November 3, 2008 I don't know about hip replacements specifically, but most doctors will not sign off on skydiving for their patients no matter what their condition. How long ago did you get the new hip? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,430 #3 November 4, 2008 Hi rita, Google Skydiveoregon.com One of the video guys there ( Opie ) has a fake hip. And he jumps a LOT. I am sure that Joe or Theresa will put you in touch with him. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMK 3 #4 November 4, 2008 I curiously clicked on this thinking hip was a synonymn for “trendy”. Damn, we’re actually discussing actual hips. Since the new hip is artificial, shouldn’t this be in “gear & rigging”. Where’s moderator Billvon or Quade?
