steve1 5 #28 February 17, 2012 I quit jumping three years ago. Back in 75 I quit for twenty years, before returning to the sport. Both times I was losing interest. It just wasn't much fun any more....I keep hoping I can get that back. The right people, and vibes are definitely needed. After my first break of twenty years, it took a reunion of old jumpers to get me in the air again. It was wonderful. I fell base for a formation. I loved every second of it, and I was hooked all over again. Ten years later, I have mostly lost interest. I'm going to look up some old friends this summer, and I hope to get back in the air. I truly miss this sport. The passion is just gone! It's good to talk to other old jumpers who understand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PROGRESSIVE 0 #29 February 17, 2012 I started skydiving in 79' and stopped after being unemployed and divorced. I got back into skydiving once I was able to land a job to support it in 2000. I had real nice gear. On 7-7-7, it all came to a crashing halt after nose diving into the ground from 150 feet in my hangglider. I was too high to walk away from, and too low to deploy my emergency chute. This crash left me with two paralyzed legs. I had a good run (no pun intended), but I have since sold all my gear for a steal. I'm "getting used to getting used to it." Pete PS: If I got my legs back, I'd be at it again.
