    Fear Factor

    You just gave it away! We, here on the west coast haven't seen it yet! Oh well, I'll watch anyway.

    Thanks...

    The age thing doesn't bother me, it's the aging process that troubles me. Will my reflexes and thought processes be as quick as they should be, that is what makes me think twice. I realize there are middle age skydivers, but they learned a long time ago so it might be different. But to hear someone started skydiving at 51 is rewarding!

    Thanks...

    I must admit, you are further along than I am. I have only done two tandems, but I knew after the first one, how addictive this sport is! I'm really torn as to whether I should take the lessons to be a skydiver. Is everyone out there young? You see, I think a middle age person might not fit in or be at an age to START skydiving. I know there are a lot of older skydivers, but they have been doing it for a long time. My feelings; I can't hear a small plane go overhead without thinking about jumping from it, how exhilerating! I wouldn't be able to do anything until spring or at least until the weather is warmer here!

    2002 Calendar

    I know I could make one, I just wanted a standard size calendar to fit into a wall holder I have. Good idea though.

    2002 Calendar

    Anyone know of a source to get a Calendar featuring Skydiving, other than the USPA calendar?
  7. That is so true, after the nicotine 'urge' subsides it really is the "habit" you have to get over! The hardest part is the actual habit of smoking not the addiction. You have to learn to keep yourself busy so you don't have the chance to give into the urge to light up!

    I like that idea! There are too many people who don't have a "clue" about what skydiving is today!
  9. I can't believe the good responses I have had concerning my post! What I have isn't just a little head cold, but, geez, I hated missing the jump! I am still putting up with this thing and waiting for it to go away! Thanks for the response. I really wanted to go, but everyone and everything said, don't do it!
  10. If I had known for sure no serious damage would have been done, I would have gone, but everyone was saying, "don't go". I never heard anyone with a response like yours.
  11. I followed everyones advice and my own gut feeling, and didn't skydive today because I have this stupid head cold! It had to be the most depressing day. I had coerced a few people to try skydiving, and I couldn't go!! I absolutely love to do this and couldn't believe I didn't go!
  12. Okay, thanks everyone! Now I just have to work on getting rid of this thing! I think I already knew the answer, but it was such a depressing thought, not being able to jump!
  13. What would be the discomfort, if any, of doing a skydive with a head cold?
