Eule 0 #26 January 12, 2007 QuoteQuoteI presented my instructor with the jar of cherries. Rather an odd gift. Wouldn't lederhausen have been more appropriate? I don't understand why lederhosen would have been more appropriate - can you explain? (This would have been a good candidate for a PM instead of a post, but Andy9o8 has PMs shut off.)

Kynan1 0 #28 January 12, 2007 More than you man, more than you! haha No doubt, it's a blast and this is just the beginning. I look forward to jumping all week like many, remember my last skydive and how it feels to fly your body. I finally got the feeling of a good head down for about 10 seconds on my last jump, it rocked. I enjoy doing other things as well, but nothing as much as jumping. It owns me!

bazelos 0 #29 January 13, 2007 Well with everything new (that has a certain degree of a challenge) comes frustration untill you "get it", and I am sure I am going to hate the moments I am grounded because of weather conditions while the experienced can jump away. I am also going to be incredibly pissed off at myself when I start spinning around out of controll on my cat8 jumps. But all that will just make me apreciate jumping even more once I get qualified He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

toolbox 0 #30 January 13, 2007 The really good question is,"What happens if both chutes fail?" And I answer,"Then I aim for your house bitch". Skydiving feels just like life as usual for me nowdays. If I go more than a few days without hucking myself at the ground, then I feel kinda wierd and lost. A non skydiver could never understand why we do this, and I'm not sure I understand completely myself what drives folks to hurl themselves out the door. My pappy say's we aint wired right. I think he's right. There is a good reason we skydivers are so rare. Most of are ancestors ran away from scary shit and hence they lived to pass genes on to the next generations. Those who sought out scary shit were alot less likely to pass on anything before they ate dirt. I really believe skydivers are born and not made.

Unstable 9 #31 January 13, 2007 I love jumping - there was a period after 400 some jumps that I couldn't jump for a season or two - it was hard looking up at the sky on beautiful sunday afternoon and thinking "gee, in Kansas, it's saturday evening - I wonder how the day of jumping was?". I love jumping - I love the gear, and I love parachutes. I think I'm just as happy packing parachutes as I am jumping them. so intriguing. You know how much I love skydiving?!!? I love it so much I vowed never to date a jumper. yeah - that's right. Last thing I need on a jump day is drama or distractions. Jump, land, pack, pack for other people, pack until I feel like jumping again. None of this drama crap.

kallend 2,027 #33 January 18, 2007 How much? Somewhere between 3.8 bushels and 5 furlongs.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
