Greg 0 #6 April 24, 2001 The hardest part has to be the agonizing periods of inactivity between weekends. This time used to be filled with constructive things like work, and family, but now they taunt me, laugh at me, like all those damn birds!! It is coupled with the systematic extortion of all finances from my account, oh, my poor savings!!! I will have to live out retirement with an awesome rig, pro track, helmet, gear bag, gloves, goggles, wrist mount, and live in a cardboard box, oh, the pain, the pain!! It has also done some serious dammage to my attention span, I can concentrate on just about anything for 60 seconds, intently, at which time my brain now expects to be rewarded with an awesome view, and cool breeze. I just cant get that during the week, especially here at work!! But I digress........I think the hardest thing about skydiving is........not skydiving!!

skreamer 1 #8 April 24, 2001 I hate that part where they make you get in the plane, and then you have to sit in the plane till it gets high enough, then you have to jump out of the plane and fall for a while (that part really sucks) and then you have that really bad part under the parachute thingy until you land.Apart from all that, I really like skydiving A LOT!g'night/s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 #9 April 24, 2001 QuoteI especially hate watching them surf in on a sweet carving turn, and land like they were born doing it.Man, I tell ya, I was just sitting at the park down the street from my office for lunch. Here in Phoenix, they use this "irrigation" thing in all of the parks, where they flood the park about 8" deep and let it soak in. Anyway, these f*cking birds, they come in fast, fly low over the water, and dip just the tip of thier wings in the water, (a pretty weak attempt, ya little winged b*stard) and then "flare" for lack of a better term and land. Then s*it or eat a bug, and its off again!! GET A F*UKEN JOB, why is it that those little homos get to do that all day, and I gotta work!! Its not fair, at ALL!!

SpeedRacer 1 #10 April 24, 2001 Yeah. The hardest thing is going from the mind-blowing intensity of skydiving to the mind-numbing tedium of earth-bound jobs/school etc. Makes it hard to concentrate. And if you have a computer at your desk you tend to waste time on dropzone.com instead of working.Speed Racer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
