    Some good information has already been posted. I agree with all of it. I am in my late 50's and started 4 years ago. I have not had any problems related to my age. One thing I do leave for the younger guys is swooping and base jumping. I break a lot easier than they do, and take longer to heal. I have tried all the other disciplines except for CRW. My one cautionary note is that I would not recommend taking up the sport unless you are in fairly decent shape to begin with because you you can count on having your share of rough landings during the first year. Let us know how it goes. ... Marion

    I love that quote. I am 58 and made over 600 jumps in the last 4 years. With modern day equipment which allow for (mostly) soft landings there is no reason we can't jump for many more years. Having said that, you should stay fit and ready for the occasional hard landing you most likely will have. ... Marion

    I am pretty sure Alex (Potter) and one other wingsuiter are coming from Houston. Also Jeremy is a resident of the farm and is looking forward to flocking with us. That makes around 8 if Supergirl (Andreea) drops out. That would be enough for some cool formations. ... Marion
