jtnesbitt 0 #1 November 19, 2008 I have a question for those of you who have to suffer through cold winters with freezing temperature, rain, sleet, snow, high winds, and lots of clouds. (Gotta love Ohio.) What do you do to get your adrenaline fix in the winter? Last winter I traveled a lot and got to jump in warm places so it didnt really effect me but this year I am starting to freak out already. We've all been at the DZ on a rainy or cloudy day and know what happens when we get bored and don't jump, it can be a very dangerous situation. So, besides traveling to jump, what do you do to get your fix when jumping isn't feasible?"If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #23 November 19, 2008 Quote And you don't "suffer through cold winters with freezing temperature, rain, sleet, snow, high winds, and lots of clouds." Actually we do, but its not to the extreme some people experience. Snow is rare, but it does happen. Freezing temperatures are common as is rain, lots of clouds, high winds and sleet. We just end up making less jumps, drinking more beer at the DZ and completing more hop-n-pops. Its all about wanting to skydive.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hobie331 0 #25 November 19, 2008 Become one of the Frozen Chosen. There was a group of nine that went to Skydive Dallas in January this past year. It WAS supposed to be nice but never got above 35 on the ground and they kept telling us the wind chiil was -31 at 13.5K. At any rate if it hadn't been for the KS Coalition everybody working at the dz could have gone home. However, they kept the Caravan going with just 5-6 on board(just one more reason to jump at Skydive Dallas). We got named the Frozen Chosen after. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
