So, what on earth does that have to do with it? Are "minorities" just prone to avoid action sports? Are "minorities" being kept by "The Man" from being allowed or encouraged to participate? I don't get it. That's an inherently prejudiced statement. Is this an implication that a little black kid just couldn't possibly look up to anyone who is not also black? I mean, that's pretty prejudiced/bigoted/whatever to say. It also implies that the little black kid would harbor an inherent racism/bigotry that would preclude him from developing respect/awe/admiration for any non-black sports figure. WTF?!?! Why couldn't she just HANG OUT WITH THE [I]SKYDIVERS[/I] -- YOU KNOW, THE [I]FELLOW [B]HUMAN BEINGS[/B][/I] THERE?! You are making this sound like the only people a person can be relate to and feel accepted by are those of their skin color. That's just absurd on its face. An asian woman would have to see other asian women at the DZ in order to enjoy skydiving, and get hooked on it, and want to learn from and befriend other skydivers? That's ridiculous. And if this hypothetical asian woman did indeed feel that way, then well she's a bigot. -Jeffrey The Pessimist says: "It can't possibly get any worse!" The Optimist says: "Sure it can!"

A club in the Mid-West I jumped at, we made a leap into a backyard beer & pig party. The pilot thought he'd impress everyone by doing a low pass over the BBQ pit, pulled up late and went through some trees and powerlines. Buggered up the gear so bad he belly landed at a small 'private' runway. He just left the plane there, hitched a ride to town and we never heard from him again!
