RkyMtnHigh 0 #5 January 22, 2007 I've gone through several phases of why I enjoy skydiving: At first it was all about adrenalin and addiction to a sport that made me feel so good and supernatural. It was all about how many jumps I could make in a day each weekend and watch the videos, comment on what I did on the jump or what they did on the jump, as well as to attend as many boogies and meet as many jumpers as possible; next phase was that I wanted to try every discipline within the sport, hit milestones, and have more quality jumps versus quantity and have a noticeable improvement and progression in the sport; now, I'm in the next phase...my current goals are quality, focused jumps for a specific goal. It's been an interesting journey.... _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RkyMtnHigh 0 #10 January 22, 2007 Sold my gear to take a break and focus on my recent career move AND because I needed to downsize my main and my current container only held down to a 170..therefore I needed a new container which would fit the Sabre2 150 and Lightning 143. I will do freefall jumps but for 2007/2008 will spend more of my time focusing on CRW proficiencies. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broke 0 #13 January 22, 2007 because skydiving actualy is a challenge for me. Each time I jump I feel the kind of accomplishment that I have never felt before. A lot of learned things have just come naturally to me. Skydiving I had to work and work hard for it.Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.

CSpenceFLY 1 #20 January 22, 2007 First jump,because I always wanted to After that cause it was cool and I liked the rush. Now,mostly because I like being around the people,knowing how to fly my body and from climbing to altitude till I land my canopy I don't think about anything else.

kbordson 8 #21 January 22, 2007 First jump was for the challenge of my courage. To see if I could overcome fear. After that first freefall.... it became a challenge to fly beautifully, to control my body with slight movements, to release EVERYTHING for just one minutes focus on one thing, to RELAX. And the people! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
