freeryde13 0 #31 January 28, 2006 where ever you are you think about wind direction , and how you would land there if you had to. in the middle of winter in nyc you take a plane to fl and rent a car to jump 5 times and come back the same night . it's rainy and cloudy at the drop zone and you just haaaaaad to go any way. you fly up with the pilot in the 182 and realize the rain isn't so bad up there and the clouds are clear below1800'.....

PrairieDoug 0 #32 January 28, 2006 Quotein the middle of winter in nyc you take a plane to fl and rent a car to jump 5 times and come back the same night . I respect that level of commitment. Right now I'm feeling like such a freakin' lightweight. This morning I talked myself out of a 150 mile drive (each way) to Cross Keys on a totally jumpable day because I didn't feel like being in the car that long. I told myself I was going to get all this other stuff done, but I haven't touched any of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uponone 0 #34 January 29, 2006 Quote...when it's January 28th, you own a motorcycle and a car, and you are selling the car to buy a pack! At least your not selling the motorcycle I have a snowboard trip coming up in April in Colorado with a couple of friends and some family that just moved there. I was all stoked to go boarding because I've never been to any of the mountains in Colorado and heard they were awesome. Come to find out, my family that just moved there moved to Longmont - 10 minutes from Mile-Hi, now I find myself planning a jump trip with maybe some tunnel time at skyventure instead of going boarding like we all originally planned....what to do?

L.O. 0 #44 January 30, 2006 The true indication of your absolute dedication is not just in yourself. When your 5yr old daughter can identify the regular jumpers from your DZ by there canopy colors and flying style thats a big one. She can also identify my 4 way team by name and ranking in the NSL, the airplanes I jump out of regularly and the aircraft ID including the complete end #.
