Just crazy about it!

[tfasbend 0]

Just want to tell you how crazy I am about this skydiving. God, why did I have to grow to 49 years of age until I find that absolute heaven on earth. Falling through a clear (or cloudy...) sky, contemplating the landscape below, preparing for the pull, that great lift upward, the slider control (will it come down or not...), the gentle swinging, the graceful curves and landing ... with a rollover or smoothly, what the heck. I always thought gluttony or sex was the ultimate carnal pleasure, but no. Whatever the number of jumps I am destined to complete, I thank the heavens for having let me into this.

Yes, I feel the same way, didn't finally try it until I was 37!

It is certainly an addiction. I'm just waiting on my next check to jump again. It has totally consumed my thoughts and my priorities which could be a good thing or a bad thing, we will see....

It's a love/hate relationship!! You'll be so obsessed with the love of it that your whuffo friends will hate it!!

I'm just calling it my midlife crisis. My husband's latest: "Couldn't you just take up skiing?"



Just give in, there's no use resisting...
