Taikoen 0 #1 January 11, 2007 Since I've been on DZ.com every day at work for the past two weeks or so, I should probably introduce myself as an attempt to be polite. You know, before I tarnish myself for the entire internet to see with my smartass humor. I made my first jump for my 18th birthday, and then took five years off because school > skydiving, based on average income for doing each of the two (positive versus negative) and that it is in fact legal to do the first when it rains. I started back up a little bit over a year ago, slowly, because I was technically still in school, and took it slow as I paid off student loans and well, not eating turkey sandwiches every day. After getting my A License, I've stuck to jumping enough to stay current until I found gear of my own, at which point I'd probably become some demonically obsessed guy who never left the drop zone because I didn't have to pay for student gear any more. Right now a rigger is looking at a rig for me to see what needs to be done to get it back in jumping condition, and I hope to be in the sky much more often very soon! I live in North Dallas and jump at Skydive Dallas (although my first jump was at Skydive Temple). I plan on doing a couple hundred fun and/or RW jumps so that I look less stupid before I do anything else. The fun thing about skydiving is that it's like practicing sex...Maybe we should try that dock again? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #4 January 12, 2007 Welcome! SD Dallas is a fun DZ, I've been there more then a few times. SD Temple is a great DZ as well, if you get the chance to visit, do so. Infact, there are few states as lucky as TX to have so many fun DZs in a relatively close distance. Where in n. Dallas are you?
