I just don't get the connection. Gee..........May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

Amanda965 0 #9 June 27, 2005 If you don't want to talk about sex, maybe you can try putting your thread in "general skydiving discussions." Otherwise, I don't think many people will stray away from the topic you have gotten them started on Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grue 1 #11 January 1, 2007 If I had to make a completely out of the blue guess, I'd put it around 50,000-75,000.. maybe less. By "active skydivers", I'm defining it as people who are either actively seeking a licence, or are licenced and still jumping. The one-off tandem kids aren't in that #cavete terrae.

two40 0 #14 January 1, 2007 whatever the definition, it would be very hard to get a close number wouldn't it? i mean you'd have to go to the governing body of each country to get a close figure right? there is no international body? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
