grannyinthesky 0 #4 February 3, 2010 Quote Post up if you are one of the coolest grandmas in the world. How many jumps? How many grand kids? What is the most bad ass thing you can do in the air? I guess this means me. I've been skydiving for a litle over 2 years and have 506 jumps and just got my D. I've got 4 grandkids and the oldest two have already decided they want to jump with me when they are old enough. (in 4 years and 7 years, so I'd better stay with it a while). I don't know that anything I do would be badass, but I think the tube exit I did last summer was pretty cool. Neither of us knew what we were doing, but we managed to hold it for about 4ooo ft. I finally let go cause I was getting dizzy. Edited to add: What's with the cookie thing? I sure don't do cookies."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

kallend 1,683 #6 February 3, 2010 My wife is a grandma and has made 1 tandem jump. She's also made a trap landing and a catapult take off from the USS Eisenhower. I think she's cool.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocheese 0 #7 February 3, 2010 Then she must be one of the coolest grandmas in the world. Kids on the playground: Oh your mother wears combat boots! Yea well, my grandma skydives. What's your point? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
