Question to skydivers by Joe Jennings

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone:

I've been put to task by the PIA to produce a video that promotes skydiving. This video will come in different lengths for different applications and media.

People know that skydiving is exciting and exhilarating. What they don't know is that skydiving can change lives, that the exhilaration and enjoyment we experience, tends to spread into other areas of our lives.

So with this project ahead of me, if you have one jump, or thousands, I'd like to ask you as a skydiver the following questions:

What drew you to the sport in the first place?
What kept you in the sport?
Has skydiving changed other areas of your life?
Has skydiving affected you personally?
Why should someone try skydiving?
Other thoughts?

What I learn from your replies, I'm sure, will greatly improve this video.

Please write your reply in essay form and also include a photograph of yourself. I'd like to post these essays along with your photos.

In general, our sport needs more up jumpers. I believe that if we're able to show that skydiving is more than just scary and fun, that it actually becomes a part of us, and positively affects other areas of our lives, then we'll have a powerful marketing tool that will draw people to the sport and encourage them to stay.

You can reply here, or email me at [email protected]. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Blue Skies!
Joe Jennings

People with 47 posts aren't usually in the DZ.com clique.

But a few people have heard of Joe (or, as he was known around Lost Prairie this year "Joe FUCKING Jennings")
