  1. Sounds like a good ride. Where do you do your riding? I'm not currently training for anything but I love those long 1/2 day rides. I normally just go out for about 35-40 miles. I have never tried to go further. About half way through my trip, I start having a difficult time staying on the saddle. Any tips for a sore ass? "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  2. 3 total- all three s/l and 1 of them practice pull cord. I dropped the frikin handle! "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  3. try The Bravery - no brakes "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  4. damn, your not kidding! "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  5. I would say YES absolutley. The whole experience is so effing HOT! I would say there is a lot of sex appeal around skydiving as well as around people who love the sport. "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  6. Do you ever listen to the Bravery? Love em'! I think you might too. "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  7. Very true, and very funny "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  8. I am not licensed, however I can tell you with just the skydiver part, you will be paying a little more than average for your insurance. A lot of companies out there will not cover people who normally engage in extreme sports, and if they do it is at a higher rate. Unless you were already covered and started the sport 2 years later. I just started jumping recently. I work for a financial institution and one of our licensed Financial Consultants told me that my family would not be covered if something happened to me while I was skydiving. This of course freaked me out. (I have like 4 policies, maybe over covered) In any case I went home and scrubbed the hell out of my policies. There was nothing in there about it so I went for clarification. Thats only if I was just signing up. I have had all of my policies for more than 2 years so they are fine. I would shop around if I were you. Don't stick with just one quote. And scrub the policy before you sign it to make sure your sport is covered. "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  9. Welcome, glad to see other new people get as excited as I have. I wish you many more happy skydives! "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  10. Right there with you! The level of service in many companies these days is way too low. Go granny! Thanks for waking them up! "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  11. My heart goes out to the friends and family of those who were on board. What a sad day it is. "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  12. Yes, I started this last Friday but did not get to jump again because of weather. I don't live in the most skydive friendly state (OR) It rains a lot here. In any case I am supposed to go back this next Sat. and the weather is supposed to be better. Man I can't wait for spring! "not all grief is bad grief, just ask Charlie Brown"
  13. Hello, Just want to say hi. I am new to dropzone.com and also new to skydiving, but totally addicted already. I have to say my first jump was probably just as exciting or more so than my first time having sex. What a way to live. I'm in, it will be good to know ya!
  14. Could it be that she has a great rack and you can't help but notice. Even ladies can't help but to check the nice ones out. Part of it maybe that you are trying not to, sometimes that makes it worse.
  15. I am in Love!I had my very first jump ever, tandem with Keith, and camera man John filmed. I can tell that Keith is very experienced and I felt like I was in good hands. They were great as a team. This was the best experience I have ever had. Ralf and Cindy were great as well and made the before and after experience fun. I am hooked for life! I do believe I have found a new hobby. I will be back soon!
