New Perspective

Recommended Posts

Last night I went the the auto races. I have been to the Indy time trials, but other than that just TV racing for me. As the sprint cars went screaming by, the announcer announced (that is what they do), "Isn't this exciting, and they are reaching 120 MPH on the back stretch." 120? That is as fast as I am falling! No wonder this RW is hard to learn.

And I decided I would rather be in dangerous sport of skydiving and not the dangerous sport of auto racing.

When I'm driving down the 405 Freeway here in California and it's nuts (like most of the time) I often think here I am doing high speed RW with a bunch of people I'm totally clueless about. Their skill level is all over the place, their equipment may or may not be up to snuff, plus a good percentage of them are impaired by either inexperience, old age, legal, and illegal drugs.

Then when I hear someone at the DZ say they won't jump with someone they don't know I consider the fact they spent a hour on the freeway to reach the DZ and they sound ridiculous to me.

I feel that my skydiving keeps me sharp for racing....
