leehype 0 #1 February 12, 2007 Well howdy. Never been. But a close friend of mine (who is on this forum) does and enjoys it. I hear tell this jumping outa planes things is addictive, and as much as I don't wanna, that great friend of mine is prolly going to get his wish. I'm not going to bother with things I curently do, as I have to go to sleep in a few hours, but I will say I am well rounded with skills. I can even say that I do things that scare skydivers. I'm about being open minded, you do this, and I'll try your thing. We all have our favriot things to do. To each his own, but only after trying it once. My current standing is ~90% of people like being around me, but they won't tell me why. So, how is everyone doing tonight?What I have never done, cannot be held against me as I do not condone what others do as they condone me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
floridadiver81 0 #2 February 12, 2007 haha...i didnt think you were going to join the forum..LOL. Anyways yes this is a close friend of mine. Im going to get him up in a tandem..and hopefully he gets as hooked as i do. He is right though..he does possess alot of skills. He is very mechanically inclined, and he can build a computer blindfolded with both arms tied behind his back...lol. a little overly dramatic..but yeah. he is good people and hopefully a future full time skydiver EDIT: to fix grammar mistakes."Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

SARLDO 0 #6 February 13, 2007 Dude, I see you are in Jax... i did my first jump (a tandom) there and had a blast. But, once I did my AFF in Titusville, I was truly hooked. Go for it!

leehype 0 #7 February 13, 2007 Well, lets say I am not new to extreem sports. 4x4ing for example. My avitar is not something I have cause I like it. I tend to run offroad quite a bit, and from the people I have talked to, they are calling me stupid for doing so. And so far, the only person I can get to go agreed to ONLY if I would jump outa a plane. I would love to put it into context, but as you might have gessed, my trainwreck of engrish isn't up to par spelling wise.

wildfan75 1 #8 February 14, 2007 Either that or that little button inscribed "spell check" to the bottom right. Welcome! Have fun on your first tandem. That's how my addiction started...just one tandem to cross it off the list. Here I am, a year and a half later with 157 jumps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
