Does it every get old or routine?

Recommended Posts

Each jump gets better than the last. Your awareness goes up and you start noticing more and can fly better. If you get bored, try something new, there's so much that you can do in the air. Are you looking for a rush, than just do something more dangerous or take stupid chances. Or you could try to get paid to skydive, hopefully that'll be more fun than sitting in a cube.

Maybe I'm weird.

(OK, you guys that know me can just clam up, right now.;))

I've yet to get the "bored" feeling. Every jump is balls-in-the-throat with at least one, and commonly more than one, of these thoughts:

1. OK, THIS jump is going to be the one where I'm gonna have a mal.
2. WooooHooo! I get to jump with (place name here)!
3. WooooHooo! I get to jump with (place name here) AGAIN!
4. Look at that freakin' sunset.
5. Look at those freakin' clouds.
6. Did you see what (place name here) did?
7. Did you see what (place name here) did, AGAIN?
8. Lord Jesus, please let this plane get off the ground.
9. Lord Jesus, please let this plane get to a safe jump altitude before it conks out.
10. What would happen if I did (place random, stupid thought here)?
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
