Zoltan 0 #27 August 31, 2004 1. Working with people and introducing them to the sport, building their trust and giving them a lifetime experience is a great thing. 2. Good to be a productive and not only the consumer part of the sport, I love to return something to the community I have received so much from. 3. Tandem skydive is technically interesting and challenging with all the equipment and techniques and I enjoy to learn new things in skydiving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanglesOZQld 0 #30 September 16, 2004 Ps- Anyone out there who says for the money is kidding themselves! Most full time jumpers could do a lot better in a normal job. The LIFESTYLE is what we are in it for! "A Scar is just a Tattoo with a story!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The LIFESTYLE is what we are in it for! Speak for yourself sparky. I make about 10K a year from AFF and tandems, and I have a real job too. I lived the skydiving "lifestyle" 24/7 for 10 years straight. It was exceedingly dull, I'll have you know, interspersed with short bursts of predicatble excitement. It's more fun to actually just have a real life and jump on the weekends these days. I still get paid to travel the world organizing, and all my gear is sponsored, so I guess I get the best of both worlds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
