Can't do it

Recommended Posts

I am a firm believer in balance. Too many skydivers make jumping their entire life. It is healthy to pursue other interests. I never want the DZ to be my entires social life.

I admire you for making your choice. If you can, though, I would encourage you to keep your rig....You will hear the call of the sky again.

The part I hate right now is that I don't have that "family" feel at the DZ yet. I miss walking in the hangar and have at least 10 differen't people yell "Clay's here!!!!" :D



I can relate to that one! Same thing happened when I moved to FL. ZHills is starting to get that "homey" feeling, but it takes a while!

Baaaaah!

Now THAT is the "family feel" he wants. It isn't the people shouting. ;)

Isn't Clay looking for that elusive 'flock feel', or is that still a crime in Ohio.B|

Ok pulled my ads down off the site! I just can't sell the equipment.

Nacmac, you might not be getting a FedEx pack. I'm going to the DZ this weekend. Dunno if I'll jump, but I'll be getting my rig back into my handsB|

Dammit sucks being a skydiver, you can never make a solid decision :D

If I do get back into the air, I'm not going to be at the DZ every weekend. I have other interests I want to persue.. So I'll keep you posted. B|

What is the definition of an "underage lamb"? How do you tell? Ask it for it's driver's license?



Isn't a "lamb" already an underage sheep?:|

Either way, the mint jelly still is in order.:o:o

Jumping doesn't have to eat up your entire life. When you feel overwhelmed, skip a weekend. I'll see you in RantoulB|

Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

I held onto my gear for about 15 years. Looked into selling it once, and realized it was worth more to me in my closet (round reserve). I don't regret it at all -- I used it for quite awhile after I started again, and I always knew I could when I wasn't jumping.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
