eatinraw 0 #1 July 15, 2004 Hi I am eatinraw, I am a new member and new student skydiver. I just made some major changes in my life and discovered skydiving along the way. I am a raw food vegan working at a raw food institute in Michigan. I am 47 years old and my 53 year old boss talked me into going skydiving. It was the first time for both of us. I am hooked, I think about jumping all the time. I even look at the sky differently than I ever did before. Skydiving has changed my life, I feel younger and liberated. I have made 3 static line jumps so far in two weeks and am going back for more as soon as possible. See you in the sky... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 July 16, 2004 Ok, a serious question. Is beer ok for vegans? Now on past the seriousness... Welcome to skydiving and welcome to DZ.com!

Since I didn't make my first jump until I was 50 I love to hear about "older" jumpers getting into the sport. It's true, skydiving does keep you young. I feel much younger now than I did before I started skydiving, think my whole perspective on life changed with skydiving. Good luck!

eatinraw 0 #8 July 21, 2004 A.D. I don't speak for all vegans, but as for myself a cold beer sure is nice once in a while...here's thinking of you...see you in the sky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
