Keys 0 #1 May 4, 2001 Obviously skydiving is a fantastic rush, addicting and fun as #$%^. But you know what else is really cool about it? Where else are you going to find a place where a Doctor, waitress, unemployed construction worker, truck driver, financial analyst, engineer, house painter, and a teacher spend the day diving together, then sit around a fire drinking beer and talking. No prejudice about socioeconomic status, age, race, or gender. Now that is really cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airann 1 #3 May 4, 2001 I totally agree with Keys. It is amazing what everyone does in the real world. Yet we all come together on the weekends and speak the same language. I have never seen this phenomenon happen anywhere else. It is very refreshing.Clear Blue and Extra Alt, AirAnnhttp://www.AirAnn.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut 0 #4 May 4, 2001 don't forget about people from other countries, language isn't a barier in this sport either, skydiving goes over many many boundries!!!!"if dreams are like movies, then memories are like films about ghosts"-counting crows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keys 0 #5 May 4, 2001 I didn't even hit on that. We have a small clublike DZ, but last weekend we had a guy from the UK who was in the US on business. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk 2 #6 May 6, 2001 well we have a moderatly large dz for australia and we have tones of different nationalities living working at jumping here. i think its the fact that we are all "suicidle lemmings :) "nah i think its cause we r united by our true passion in life, skydiving plus skydivers generally by nature are non-jugemental acept when it comes to whuffus :-)"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone."Pablo Picasso.

ditch9276 0 #8 May 6, 2001 Hi Keys, no skydiving makes more fun than #$%^. But the rest you wrote thats the trough, and that what wingy wrotes was right too. Isn´t it wingy???For all they don´t know what i´m talking about, here the answer: i live in good old germany, and wingy was an us citizen and is here in germany for business (cool wingy) and he was on our dz in germany, and he was jumping and talking with us.there´s no border in skydiving, we all just want the same:go jump, have fun and hang out with our second family (all skydivers are one family)DITCH>volo ergo sum< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
