  1. Josh: Everybody screws up. That's how you learn. You probably screwed-up going to first grade when you were 6-years-old. If you didn't, you're weird. The "fear" thing is another matter. A seasoned skydiver once told me that ALL skydivers have fear ... but won't admit it. I don't understand it. This is a strange sport. Skydiving is all I think about during the week, but then on the drive to the DZ on weekends, my heart starts pounding and I keep asking myself "why am I drawn to this insanity of jumping out of airplanes?"

  2. Does anyone ever go to the yeahsports chatroom? This is the location http://www.yeahsports.com/chat/skydiving/ I check it every now and then, and no one is ever there. http://www.dickmcmahon.com
  3. Michele: From what everyone has told me, the wind tunnel in Orlando is the best one. I just got back from spending a weekend there with some championship RW divers who go there often. (No, I'm not one of them. I'm a rookie.) It was hot there, and the tunnel is very noisy ... but the experience is great. My biggest problem was getting out of it everytime my 2-minute lesson ended. I'd head for the door, reach out for it, then slid backwards ... or, I'd lose my arch and hit the door too high. Anyway, it was fun, but expensive. Dick http://www.dickmcmahon.com
  4. You have a great way of describing things ... especially the fear feelings before the jump. Thanks. Dick http://www.dickmcmahon.com
  5. Let me get this straight ... you're a Monk from Convent, Arizona doing a naked skydive? Hmm, interesting. http://www.dickmcmahon.com
  6. Hey, what's going on here? Is this a skydiving forum or a porno site?
  7. Am planning a trip to the wind tunnel in Orlando next month to work on stability. Anyone here have experience with that place? Thanks, Dick http://www.dickmcmahon.com
  8. OK ... here goes! This one not only has some SKYDIVING stuff, but also a short bit about Bungee Jumping, and sailing aboard the tall ship Endeavour. Hope you like it! http://www.dickmcmahon.com
  9. Skydived? Skydove? If I'm going to jump next weekend, will I have "skydiven"?
  10. Do you suppose DOGS are frustrated skydivers? They do this a lot!
  11. Saving it for my 100th jump, but thanks for the invitation!
  12. You might check out www.deadmike.com I think he has some games.
  13. Yea, I landed on a dairy farm once. I was immediately surrounded by hungry cows, and I'm pretty sure they thought I was their "savior" from above! I'm not sure if a church was formed, but there's a good chance a herd is worshiping me somewhere and expecting me to return.
