Who hasn't jumped in months ?

Recommended Posts

How Long: Just over a year..

Why: Moved away from DeLand.. no DZ's are super close and I prefer jumping at DeLand or Titusville with friends and in sizeable airplanes:P (7 min to altitude YIPPEE)

When: Next time we go to Florida for a few days...

that's how I do it.. a few jumps per year on our annual trip to DeLand..the last trip was for Gus's funeral so that kinda didn't work out for any jumping for me.:(

Last jump Dec31 2004

Year has been really busy at work and home. Earlier this year the weekends I worked the weather was great, when I was off it sucked. And I'll admit, one weekend I just wussed out.

It has been 11 Weeks! :(


Military jump on a round in high winds. Felt like a downdraft hit my chute right before I landed because I have definitely jumped in higher winds under a round. Oh the result was that I broke my femur.



I will hopefully jump at the ORFUN Boogie the 23RD of this month. It depends on if I get enough muscle built back into my leg. This recovery seems a little different. Not sure why.

Laters,

Almost 6 months. Was running 70-100 miles/month, repping squats over 400lbs, then suddenly, knee pain. I had put aside additional dough to jump this year too. Stopped running/squatting. X-ray nothing, but the MRI showed a Baker's cyst beneath the patella on my left knee. Will heal in time but every sunny day is a glance skyward to what fun I'm missing. Now I have the biggest $$ vacuum cleaner going--I bought a new home. As they say, all good things come to those who wait. I'll try for October.

Cuz you're getting old! ;)

My last jump was in March before I broke my wrists and spent all my money in Europe. My rig is getting repacked this week. I'm going to try to get in the air next weekend.

How long: 2 years

Why: Started jumping when I was in travelling Canada, ran out of money and had to come home. Haven't done so well financially since then...

When again: Hopefully within the next month or two. Depends on the money.

Hey Now! :D You know I will never admit that!:D

I think it is because I am rushing this recovery. I was supposed to be going to Iraq This month. No telling what my future holds now. Maybe if I can get cleared I will go in January. Just have to wait and see.

Be safe. I know how you like the "Runway" and I am not talking about the modeling runway. :P;):D :)

almost 7 months...my last jump was a malfunction too. gotta love it. then had extensive oral surgery to restore my teeth making it impossible to jump. then a wedding. then the wife and kids are back at school so we just havn't done it. lots of little things add up. It's been so long that I have actualy pondered NOT skydiving anymore. but the more I think about that the more I just can't imagine that.:|

last jump was in the first weekend of april
i'm kinda scared to jump again, wich is normal,
but i also hate to sit on the train for 2 hours all alone, with no-one to talk to, wich is really nervewercking. and when i get at the dz, i barely know anybody, so i have to wait alone until my instructor is free to jump with me.
alot of the times i think that im not right for this amazing sport, but in my mind i am constanly thinking about it (at least once every 5 minutes)
i know that i can do this but there is also a case
of the mind saying "HELL YEAH I WANNA JUMP" but the body says "no, lets stay home and feel sick of stress" anyway, i will be jumping again soon, because i met some people on the net who will join met at the dz, so now im really looking forward to it
