were you spinning? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

It won't be long....... You can learn a whole lot jumping with others. I must say though, I still enjoy the occasional solo. It puts me more in tune with the act of skydiving, rather than flying my body, if that makes any sense. There is a lot to experience by yourself, and quite a bit of time to think about it when relaxed and alone. Sometimes I just like to fall, and nothing else. Just watching the planet grow to immense proportions, it's amazing how thrilling that alone can be. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

***Is it understandable for me to want to slow things down and take a few weeks off? ------------------------------------------------------------ yes, it's completely understandable. everyone is going to go at their own pace, and that's fine. Just remember that this sport is all about currency. The more you jump, the more you will retain muscle memory, and the more you will be able to relax. That said, alot of people take a step back and assess priorities and the like. If the sport calls you, you will come. For me skydiving is a stress release, but I have a few more jumps than you. Do what you need to do.You can always come back, and your friends will be waiting. Blue skies brother, I hope you feel better. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

around here (America) I'm pretty sure the standard is to knock of $1 per jump from the new price. That's what I've used and seems to work well if the canopy isn't abused. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

QuoteTo add insult to injury, the very first thing they gave me to eat when I was stabilized in the hospital was apple sauce. I could not eat solid food and they did not know what kind of tree I hit. I laughed so hard when the brought it in. And a big thanks to all my friends who sent me apple pies, apple juice, apple jam, apple sauce, home made apple ice cream and for the one wonderful person who brought my hard cider. ----------------------------------------------------------- that is some REALLY funny shiite!

both my van and my car combined aren't worth what my rig is worth. But when it really comes down to it, a good running vehicle is priceless, even if it is a POS. I think we take a lot for granted.
