SteveM

Well I'm single now days so I don't have to worry about a wedding ring, and I hate to say this Pammi, but I think I'm going to slip off my closing pin necklace during the day while I jump. Also, I don't really care where this was posted because I try to read all the forums anyway, but I never thought about something like this before. Good post Amy.....................

Judyindeskys, I don't know your age (and I'm smart enough NOT to ask) but there was a song out when I was a kid by the name of "Judy in disguise -- with glasses" that just rocked. What a great memory that brought back to me............. Sorry, guess you had to be there. Steve M >^..^< for me -- SkyDiving is a life sentence -- for it has saved my life.

Well, what the heck, just jump at both of them. That means your having twice the fun. ^..^< for me -- SkyDiving is a life sentence -- for it has saved my life.

OK, so after about a year of just look'en, it's time to start posting. I just hope I remember how to spell check. Anyway, can't wait for some WARM weather and clear blue sky's Steve M >^..^< for me -- SkyDiving is a life sentence -- for it has saved my life.

J.T.....On the advice of Alan Menti, I started stretching last November when I signed up for a "Wind Tunnel Camp" with the Airspeed Team in Orlando for January ' 02. At the time I only had 7 skydive's, I now have 41, and had no idea what an "Arizona Airspeed" was. After spending straight 6 days in the "wind tunnel", I learned how important stretching was for skydiving. I now stretch 7 days a week for at least a half hour EVERY morning. I jog--run 5 days a week and lift 3 days a week. I have lost 51 pounds of weight over the last 8 months and look I like I'm in my early 30's again.( I'm 48 now, single, 5' 8", 180lb, brown eyes / hair with a 33' waist....JUST in case there might be a single lady out there looking for a nice guy).....The fact that skydiving has totally change my life is the under statement of the year. I do get some "looks" from a few of the others at the DZ when I start stretching EVERYTIME I arrive and before my first jump, but I just show them one of my "fat" pictures from last year and it's a funny thing...... you see them over on the side starting to stretch and getting limber before they gear up. I just kind of smile to myself. As far as I'm concerned, not only should you prepare your mind before you jump, but you have to prepare your body as well to avoid any injuries that could side line you for a week or even a MONTH while your healing. The choice is yours. Blue Sky's to ya
