jtval 0 #11 June 14, 2002 Ive sold all kinza things! my dignity for one. thats because I work at a job that pays me a fraction of what I could get in the real world.out of the fraction of money Ive spent it all on skydives or related paraphernalia. so the last two years/730 days'/17520 hours/1051200minutes/60372000 seconds of my life had be sold for 115 jumps/42329 miles driven/7 dz's visited/194230 cool ppl i have met. all-in all i think its a fiar trade. besides what would i do with my dignity if i didnt jump?Have fun, Live free, SKYDIVE!!http://community.webshots.com/user/jtval100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #12 June 14, 2002 >Whats the weirdest thing you have sold for jump money?Well I have never owned anything "weird" as far as I'm concerned, but I have sold one car, one motorcycle and one computer. And used up all my student loans on jumping. I really have nothing much left that is of any value... Except... my rig! Yeah, that'll buy me a bunch of jump-tickets!

Snowbird 0 #14 June 14, 2002 Well, my house is up for sale, and you can bet that some of what I get outta it is going to buy me gear and get me to my 'A'. Except, it doesn't really count. We're selling the house for other reasons, and this will just be a really nice bonus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
