kerrydale1888 0 #1 May 4, 2007 Hello skydivers of the worldMy name's Stuart from Edinburgh (Scotland), I've recently returned to the sport after a break of 15 years and wouldn't you know, parachutes are square now, whatever next, men walking on the moon? I completed my A license over in Seville at christmas and jumped my half century last week. I'm working towards my B and hopefully, weather permitting, I should complete it this summer? After my 1st jump I was told, "That's one more of us and 1 less of them", how true? Take care and blue skies to you all , Stuart.In love and life I hath no fear as I was born with Scottish blood.

kerrydale1888 0 #3 May 6, 2007 Hi skymama, Squares are the real deal, i don't know why peapole would want to jump round anymore? I've gone from a PD280 to a Fury 220, I'm now jumping a Sabre 170, it's like going from a mini to a ferrari, there's no comparison? Will stick with 170 for at least a season, don't want to run before i can walk? Take care, Stuart.In love and life I hath no fear as I was born with Scottish blood.

ImGunnaJump 0 #4 May 7, 2007 Hello Stuart and welcome to dizzy.com! Last year I came back after a 5yr. lay-off...I can't imagine 15! It's good to be back though, isn't it??!!Oh, and glad to see you won't let 'down-sizeitis' get you...many people have it and it's not healthy, in fact, it could be lethal!Blue skies right back at you!
