See ya!

[matthewcline 0]

15 years, it has been a fun trip!
Passed through 5000 jumps and 60 hours of freefall time this year.
But, it is time to head out!
SO see ya!

And with that I am "out a here"!

Have a nice life.
We will keep a light on for you if you change your mind.

Hey! You can't just quit! Get your ass back here!

Seriously, what made you decide to hang it up and walk away?

[BIGUN 1,053]

You take care, Brother.
You ever get out Tulsa way, please look me up.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Be Well.

Wow Matt, that seemed sorta sudden...all the best. Does that mean you won't be hanging around here anymore?

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Oh, I may check in from time to time.
There is always good entertainment here!

So, just curious, why are you getting out?

[matthewcline 0]

John,

Personal reasons mostly. Plus burned out with the politics and the direction the sport is going. I can only run in to the brick wall so many times before I decide to change direction.

You all be safe and have fun!

Big guy?!

68" at 189lbs is not "big" (is it?)

Most of my gear was sponsored, so most of it will go back to the sponsors, there will be some odds and ends up for sale though.

Matt, I sure am going to miss ya at the DZ. I will still be calling you all the time and hope things remain well with the family! It was truly a privilege to earn my ratings with you over the last few years!

I may make it to the boogie next year.

If I return it will be as a "Free" Coach and fun jumper.
You know, make three or so jumps then head out to do things with the Family and such! You know stay current enough to not be a danger, but not current enough to be an asset to the Staff of a DZ, other than "In my day..." stories (I have a few).

I was really hoping to take you up on that tandem course offer one day, sad to see you go, but thanks for all the mentorship!

(Don't think we ever did a jump either!)
