skydiving brain?

[smiles 0]

I made my tandem jump in 1987 and really enjoyed the freefall, canopy opening, landing....the first few seconds I could not remember and that bothered me, did not enjoy at all. Took me about 5 months before deciding to return for Static Line training. I am sure I would not of returned if I had first experienced a static line jump.

So- 16 years later I am still skydiving and do not believe I am an adrenaline junkie as have kept balance in my life re: 16 years jumping and 1038 jumps.

One of the biggest differences I have noticed is how the seasons affect my mood and health. Winter is long and depressing---have always had health problems in winter.
Summer time is completely opposite.(skydiving season for me is approx. May-Oct.)--feel so healthy and strong, able to make a few jumps, garden, swim, be way more active physically and really healthy.

So...if we have 'special' brains, maybe that explains why we are all alcoholic, single freaks who find every job in the coroprate world as dull as ditchwater?

I feel better already! :)

I'm not alone!! :D
