Yoshi 0 #1 May 5, 2006 well...I am not sure totally yet, but I think I am ready to cash in my chips on jumping. I am selling my rig (but I do still have plenty that I can use if I want to jump). I have made just over 1800 skydives in the past few years, and I have managed to push away danger in the oddest of ways (those of you that know my stories know what I mean). I have chosen to take another path less traveled once again, and I am sure I will return to the air before all is said and done. so for what its worth...thank you. thanks for the friendships I have made, thank you for the rush I have encountered, thanks for the good times and bad, ...thanks for everything! -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent.

Yoshi 0 #4 May 5, 2006 I still plan to make it to some big events.. hell I still may try to be on the texas state record for head down at spaceland this coming skyfest... but that would include a handfull of training jumps, and I am not sure if I can swing it this summer.. so many plans...so many things to accomplish.. so little time.. story of my life right now. -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent.

airtwardo 7 #7 May 6, 2006 and I am sure I will return to the air before all is said and done. *** That coming from the guy guy that says... "Gee, think I'll give that swoop accuracy competition a try." ...at the Lew Sanborn meet last year. First time out, Yoshi takes the GOLD!!!

Yoshi 0 #9 May 6, 2006 yeah.. I had a great season last year.. competing in swooping ...the cpc was really fun.. lew sanborn was the coolest, and it was really awesome to win a money meet...gold none the less:) I have had so many changes this past few months... my brothers accident put a handfull of things in perspective for me on the sport... how much I love the sport is amazing, I just needed to re-evaluate how much it was worth to me though.. I have moved on in so many aspects of my life. and I now plan to travel the US on a crotch rocket... so paying off debt and getting rid of most of my personal belonings is the next step... whats a rig anyways>??? I can always find a rig if I want to jump... so speaking of that...all of my artwork is for sale as well... anyone looking for some paintings or photographs..whatever..hit me up... I do give skydiver discounts :) -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #13 May 6, 2006 Yoshi, sorry to hear you're leaving the sport buddy, but I can understand with this past year. If you can make it, get up to Waller on Sunday for the swoop comp (CPC), even if you're not competing. It would be great having you there, I know that we all really missed you at the first comp last month.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Yoshi 0 #20 May 6, 2006 Those famous words..."take the path less traveled" cant wait to see what it brings me. I have recently made the annalogy (sp?) that my life is like an oversized double handfull of confetti and there is a hurricane coming... not only that but I have a loose grip and I am ready just to chuck it into the air and see where it takes me! It feels great to feel so out of control some times... -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
