blacklabjumper 0 #31 October 21, 2008 My best friend Nate who jumps at Orange in VA. We went thru the student program together. Nate got his coach rating a couple of years ago and is a very active jumper. We have gone to a couple of boogies together and gets really excited when he sees another balck jumper. nate is agreat guy and a ton of fun to hang out with. He can design a mean Pimp glass for drinking. Once on the way back from a boogie me and nate stopped at this little redneck diner for a bite to eat. When we walked in the waitress told us "we don't serve black people" Without missing a beat Nate says to the waitress "that's good because I don't eat them". Some of my most memorable jumps have been with Nate. The man has mad skillz. In fact I am calling him now to let him know about this thread. he will get a good laugh, he has a great sense of humor when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm just keeping it real because that's just the way I roll.Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metalslug 31 #34 October 21, 2008 QuoteYou do realize 'minorities' is not just black people right? In my country; minorities are white people. During my 3 active skydiving years I've known 3 skydivers of color, only one of which had more than 100 jumps and he is exclusively a military jumper. I doubt there are many countries where skydiving demographics can be accurately scaled to population demographics. Economics and culture play a larger part.

akarunway 1 #35 October 21, 2008 Quote ....Where are they!?! No seriously, I mean, are they all hiding somewhere we can't find them? To keep club and nonprofit status, our lil' DZ does a bunch of this diversity paperwork stuff, and I had to spend the evening answering questions like "What does your organization do to include various Minorities?" et cetera. No I just realized what a bunch of white kids we are. Okay, so where are all the African American Skydivers jumping?!?! I know, like, Mary from Couch Freaks, the dude with the Racer, and the video guy from Rantoul a coupla years back..... Only met one. At SSC. Nice guy. James. He went in on the same load I was on. Took the last pic of him in his life. Pre jump. Sad. I donno. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

blacklabjumper 0 #38 October 23, 2008 No it is not true. It's just a funny story leading up to a good punch line. Nate was making a joke when we stopped at a diner, as we were walking in the place he amde a joke about them not serving black people and what he would say if that was the case but it wasn't. The people were real friendly. It was a little local joint filled with locals.Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacklabjumper 0 #39 October 23, 2008 No I wasn't serious. The part about going to the diner was true. The people were friendly.

thesaint 0 #42 October 24, 2008 Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention please! Introducing: One Black Skydiver,.....Nate!!!! Please hold your applause. He has been in the sport just a lil while about 5 years and jumped in about 30 places and has wondered within himself where are all the other black skydivers. When asked about it he says: "I hear about other black skydivers but never see them". In all honestly though I do know six other black skydivers, but one of them is my wife. I have tried and tried to get my friends to come out and jump but no luck. In fact if I had a million dollars for everytime one of my friends said they were gonna come jump, and actually did, I'd be broke!!I love skydiving so even if none of my family(except the wife), friends, co-workers etc.... will jump thats their loss. I'd be happy to show up at any DZ as long as I can get there. So then some of you all can jump with a black guy, but then you would owe beer. Maybe we could build a boogie around it. Anyway I'll be making an appearance at Sky's the Limit this weekend, Sunday weather permitting. If not Sunday sometime next week. I'd love to meet anyone who wants to touch me... PS. Thanks for letting me have fun with this.....Blue Skies Everyone. "If a thousand people agree on a dumb ideal, it's STILL a dumb ideal."

blacklabjumper 0 #44 October 24, 2008 Damn Nate there you go again using race to get free jumps! I recommend jumping with Nate, he is lots of fun and very safe. I can't believe you are trying to talk someone into building a boogie around you. Damn you have no shame when it comes to free jumps and that's what I like about you. Oh if you are skully brother #1 then I must be #1A. If anyone wants to become a skully brother hit either me or nate up and we will let you know what you need to do. Of course we do the initiation jumps at Nate's boogie. I think we should call it The Black Velvet Boogie. I can bring the chicken (don't get upset people it's an inside joke between me and nate).Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #48 December 28, 2008 At Chicks Rock this year I met a beautiful young British woman of African heritage named Cathy Anne, several hundred jumps, I believe. Not African-American, but "a person of colour" if that is an acceptable term. Over the years, I've known just a few black jumpers, a smaller number than representative of the population.
