BoostedXT 0 #1 December 16, 2005 I just have no desire to jump anymore. Its sad...I loved it at one point, but now I would rather ride my motorcycle, or hit the mountains for some DH mountain biking. I have so many hobbies, and when I wake up on my days off they usually win out. I might sell my gear and take like 2 years off just to chill. Then buy some more gear and get back at it.

PsychoBob 0 #4 December 16, 2005 ***I have so many hobbies, and when I wake up on my days off they usually win out. QuoteI can appreciate your situation. I like hiking, flyfishing and off-roading but I haven't really had the time to do any of these because I've been skydiving a lot and this fall I got into BASE. There's just not enough time or money to do it all. Next year I am going to try and balance out between jumping and my other hobbies. Good luck with the other hobbies and you know we'll be sitting right here or out at the DZ stirring up some shit whenever you decide to come back and play.
