A Great Freefall Thrusts Me Forward

[gale 0]

I just wanted to say thanks to all the people at the Brentwood drop zone for encouraging me to continue with this amazing sport even though I thought I would die of fear. Yesterday was what I think was pretty close to a perfect PFF level one and I've never had a feeling like that in my life. Dreams are the only thing that comes close to this and I love the ability to live a dream. I can't wait until I get to do flips and rolls and...
I just wanted to pass on all my newbie enthusiasm.

Good job, your gonna love this sport. It will consume every aspect of your life, you won't be to get up in the morning and not think "I wonder is those clouds will clear" and god forbid you work in a highrise building!!!

I live in a highrise.
And as for obsission, let's just say my friends are already getting concerned. There's one topic of conversation that tends to dominate and I'm always trying to get people to come out with me but they think I'm crazy. Turns out there's lots of crazies out there.

If that profile is at all accurate (whenever someone says 'PFF' it screams 'Canuck' so gotta check where they are from) - Victoria has all of like 2 highrises, and they ain't all that high. Vancouver on the otherhand would probably suit ya and if you get caught by the cops, offer them some hash or pot and everything will be cool *heh*

Well you're right that there aren't a lot of tall buildings around but the 11th story is pretty good for a nice view. There are 19 floors all together, I don't think that's enough for a BASE jump (sorry). Just a highrise to me I guess.
I'm please to know that some of my American neighbours know about my town and Vancouver too! You guys get a bad rap for thinking we all live in igloos in the winter 12 months a year. Victoria rarely gets below zero and almost never gets snow. As for giving drugs to the cops, I think that only works in smaller towns (I'm from one.)

Making enemies after only 4 jumps huh. It's gonna take a lot of beer to buy you back into those good graces.
