I love skydiving, but...

[JohnnyMarko 1]

Bye bye fellow skyfallers.

It's that time in my young life when priorities shift and certain things have to go on the back burner.

I just recently graduated college, moved home, and now it's time to officially go off to Chicago and start my own life. And while I love skydiving, seeing a couple grand worth of gear laying in the closet relatively unused just didin't make sense.

Sold my rig to my awesome sauce home DZ as a rental rig, shipped off my alti and jumpsuit today, and now I'm reminiscing all the great times I had with the messed up fuckers that are skydivers. Of course I'll still chime in unncescesarily on the forums from time to time, but I don't think I'll be seeing any of you at the DZ any time soon. It's been real kids....

(Side note: I fucking love this community. Selling my rig to the DZ was easy since I knew he owner very well so shipping/payment wasn't a hassle. I sold my alti and RW suit to rando's through the forums and what a delight it was to still have some honest, trustworthy people in the world. Sent me the money without a lot of fuss, trusted I'd ship the gear (which I did), I get $, they get gear. Damn I'm gonna miss this)

You do know that there IS skydiving in Chicago

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?

Best of luck in your next life phase.
Contrary to many opinions here, there is life beyond skydiving, and it can be wonderful.
Don't stop posting. I've always enjoyed yours.

CSC, I'll give you that...but if you're from Illinois there is no way in hell you would every consider Skydive Chicago as 'Chicago'

And yes, I realize there is skydiving up there. But it doesn....ah fug it, you were making a joke

The sky will still be there if you decide to return. Just don't wait until you're a really old dude.

And there's a few decent DZs fairly close - SDC, CSC and Midwest.

That would mean that I stand a chance of meeting you in person

At least you can rent your old rig next weekend before the sky goes away.

if I understood correctly, he is more a pitcher than a catcher....

But yeah, rubber is good for you

I haven't jumped in almost two years, and, even if I never jump again, I wouldn't give up this community for anything! Good luck in your new chapter!!
