  1. There goes that theory! I am trying to figure out why some people just wont go skydiving. I am a river guide on the Gauley River in WVA, the Upper gauley is a solid class V (five) river. People die and get hurt on it every year. I have been guiding on it for ten years, and have taken my wife down it a few times, so I know she is capable of risking her life. I have tried to get her to do a tandem jump, but she says NO WAY!!! I know this sounds crazy but she has never dreamed of flying and I have and do quite often. I was thinking there may be some sort of connection?!?!?!?
  2. I know that this is not a new topic, but I am curious, are there any skydivers that did not dream about flying when you were a kid? I always have and still do, and not in the skydiving sence, but rather, a superman type flying?! Thanks for any input! Blue Skies!
  3. I'd be worried about who IS looking
  4. Planning on going to Destin this Spring and was wondering if there was a DZ close by? Blue Skies!!! Alan

  8. Never started, tried it once when I was a kid, got busted, never started. Its Nasty, and the people who smoke smell bad, even my wife! She wants to quit but cant, I have dipped since the forth grade, I'm 35 now and have quit this past year, I still get a craving every now and then, a bowl of kind and some watermelon bubbalicious usually does the trick!!
  9. I was really just curious about what it is that is actually being used. and "IF" I were to want to do it, WHAT would I use, you know, I saw it , thought it was neat, and wondered what it was they were using. Thanks for the advise! Alan

  11. What would an inspiring young(35yro) skydiver use for smoke to fly with? Is there a commercially made product or do I tape a smoke bomb to my shoe? Thanks Alan
  12. Does the wind treat you any different in a tunnel like SkyVenture Orlando, and a tunnel like FlyAway in Pigein Forge? I have been to Orlando's tunnel and was wondering what to expect in Pigeon Forge?!?!?! Thanks Alan
