dkf1979 0 #1 December 5, 2003 Ok. Got a question. Am I the only one who, when reading a skydiving story, or watching a skydiving video, begins to feel as if they are going to have a heart attack, hyperventalate, scream, or basically just start flashing back to freefall? I sit here for hours reading and watching video's getting high off every one!!! http://bodypilot.bounceme.net Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrogNog 1 #2 December 5, 2003 Basically, yeah, you're a freak. Personally, my palms just sweat when I think hard about skydiving. If I'm watching someone else do it, I'm OK. But if I'm visualizing being part of it, waterworks. Plays hell with my gloves in the plane. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casch 0 #4 December 5, 2003 You mean to say you enjoy watching skydiving vidoes? It excites you? Brings a smile to your face? Makes you shiver a bit maybe? Little shakie, makes you want some altitude? What a freak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkf1979 0 #5 December 5, 2003 Sucks to be a poor. You have to live through other peoples videos. I gamble to support my skydiving habit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdgregory 0 #6 December 5, 2003 if by your question you mean does watching skydiving videos get your blood boiling thne um yeah me too. In fact I saw a terrible movie the other night. "Cutaway". Oh man it was awfull so I watched three times that night. I couldn't figure out why I had to keep watching it because the acting was so bad then I realized that more than 40 minutes of the film is skydiving! Um maybe I should seek help for my addiction. Nah, I can quit anytime. I am fine. Gonna go jump now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb092 0 #7 December 5, 2003 I try not to watch videos because it makes me feel like I want to be in the air not on the couch. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bch7773 0 #11 December 5, 2003 I had that too when I was still a new jumper. Do you know how to get even more excited? Watch the clips of people pulling low... that cypres one comes to mind. Those still get my heart pumping and I have to make sure I'm not screaming "PULLLLL!!!" at the computer MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kramer 0 #12 December 6, 2003 Yeah, I have one where the guy cuts away at like 300 or 400 feet. By the time his reserve inflates, he's probably not more than 50 feet from the ground...it scares me everytime. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
