jmar595 0 #1 February 29, 2008 Hello all. I am a dreamer that wishes to actually go skydiving. I have been thinking about it ALOT lately, been wanting to sine I was about 13, now 28. I am going to this summer, just got to figure out the financing part. I watched some videos with the wingsuits. I WANT ONE! If I could do ANYTHING I would fly like Superman and Peterpan. This seems the closest thing to that. Very excited about doing this, I would jump without any hesitations, I have done it many many times in my minds eye. I have to lose 30 lbs. to get to the weight limit. Well, sorry for all the rambling but that is my story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #2 February 29, 2008 If you want something bad enough, i fully believe you can do it. And believe me, there is no feeling quite like sharing the sky with friends.

grannyinthesky 0 #4 February 29, 2008 The lure to skydive can be a powerful motivator for weight loss. I had lost quite a bit of weight before I started skydiving last October, but for the first time in my life, I am not only keeping the weight off, but also slowily losing more without it being a major production. If the temptation to overeat strikes, think about your goal to skydive instead of reaching for those goodies. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

Hayfield 0 #6 February 29, 2008 Go for it. Flying beats eating, although both can have dire consequences... I can tell you this much: when I'm jumping I don't think about food.

jmar595 0 #7 March 1, 2008 Not too worried about the weight issue, that isn't too much of a problem. As far as the Peter Pan reference, that's one of the best ways I can desribe it, but I getcha. I don't know if I just replied to you only or the whole thread. How do you reply to the whole thread? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hayfield 0 #8 March 2, 2008 You replied to the whole thread, but when you hit reply on a specific post it lets people know specifically what you are addressing. As for the peter pan stuff, it's all in good fun. Unsolicited advice: Do yourself a favor and save money so you can do your jumps closer together, if you take a few weeks between them you'll likely find yourself repeating levels and spending more on training than you have to.
