FallloutboyDAoC 0 #1 February 15, 2010 After my first season of packing, being able to do whatever i want, being able to say whatever i want, jumping everyday, and then coming home for the winter... it's just not working out. I'm losing my mind. There doesn't seem to be any weekends that are jumpable either, winds are so shitty every weekend. How does everyone else cope with this miserable season?

NWFlyer 2 #5 February 15, 2010 What is this winter you speak of? It was in the low 60s and sunny at the DZ yesterday. (Okay, to be fair, we *have* had a lot of rain this year...

jasonRose 0 #13 February 15, 2010 Travel to someplace warm and jump your ass off. That said, if $$$ doesn't allow travel then suck it up and put a ton of clothes on and jump!!. When I first starting skydiving I went on a load in mid Feb and the thermometer in the aircraft read -20F on exit. I was so fucking cold when I landed I couldn't feel my hands. The nutty part is I packed my rig and jumped again that day. Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #14 February 15, 2010 simple i enjoy videos of skydives which i've recorded , which include a variety of friends over the years. One advantage of shooting so much MORE than just tandems..... Since they are all from My perspective,,, it really IS like re-experiencing the jump.. I also tend to let the camera roll afterwards, to capture all the post-jump chatter,, that often, is as much fun, as the skydive itself... jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c10edges 0 #15 February 15, 2010 I truly know what you mean. I am from Texas and was forced to experience my first winter last year in NH. I was a very depressed kid to say the least. I did the same exact thing that you did and posted this thread. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3467066;search_string=winter;#3467066. I highly suggest that you read it. The best advice that I liked was laying in the sun in your living room. Try to find your own way to deal with it; last year, I didnt. May you have the best of luck and remember that spring is actually not too far away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halfpastniner 0 #16 February 15, 2010 I BASE jump (only bridges though, climbin in the cold sucks!), snowboard, or rock climb. It makes it pretty manageable, however I am starting to miss the open sky! Occasionally I will do homework too.BASE 1384 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocheese 0 #17 February 15, 2010 Ok, you need another expensive hobby. Something you can do when you can't jump. Something to take your mind off jumping. How about buying a cheap camper and fixing it up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
