freeflir29 0 #2 May 1, 2002 Other than the 2 weekends we were shut down it hasn't made any difference to me. If I could jump any more I would. "It's all about the BOOBIES!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #3 May 1, 2002 I'm kinda confused... Sept. 11th didn't affect how often I jump at all; not sure why it should have?pull & flare,lisa---On the other hand...you have different fingers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rgoper 0 #4 May 1, 2002 the tragic events of 09/11/2001 have had no adverse affects on my sky diving, that is after they lifted the ban on aircraft. i jump every chance i get! Richard"Gravity Is My Friend" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #5 May 1, 2002 Well I've gone skydiving less often since then, but that had nothing to do with the events of september 11th and everything to do with me being sick and tired of the politics at the local DZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #6 May 1, 2002 Except for the few weeks that everything was grounded, and baring crap weather, it has been about the same... just been doing different stuff, less tandems more fun jumps and pond swooping...Bill- when you gonna come to spaceland?http://www.aerialfusion.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottbre 0 #7 May 1, 2002 I did my first jump on the weekend after September 11th, so "More often" is the only choice I have. 200 feet of Saran Wrap and noone to play with. . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #12 May 2, 2002 Hiya Bill,September 11 had a rather serious impact on the business I work for. The winter monthes were particularly bad to the extent that I didn't get paid for most the of the time the snow was on the ground. I had to cancel all of my winter travel plans, all of which involved skydiving.This summer I will be skydiving MORE then last summer, simply because I don't have a whuffo girlfriend demanding my attention every weekend._AmICQ: 5578907MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfeYahoo IM: ametcalf_1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #13 May 2, 2002 If anything, September 11 has made me skydive more....I have taken a hard look and life and how fragile and precious it is. I want to spend whatever remaining thime I have on this Earth living life to the fullest. And that would include skydiving. Despite the fact that I am still fighting my dad on the whold skydiving thing, it is worth any trouble to be able to fly free, if only for 60 seconds at a time.Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
