CanuckInUSA 0 #2 August 24, 2004 Give it time. You'll be back in the air before you know it. And know this, you are not alone. There are numerous grounded skydivers at the moment. In fact I've missed skydiving these last four weekends as I wait for an injured foot to heal (I should be back jumping next weekend). I did however do three BASE jumps this last Saturday. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once a skydiver, always a skydiver. About money, we all go through that .... once thing's turn around, you'll be back ....This ad space for sale.

jdfreefly 1 #5 August 24, 2004 From a fellow grounded skydiver, I fell your pain dude. Keep this in mind, you can learn a lot on the ground. Especially at your experience level. Just because you can't jump doesn't mean you can't be at the dz learning. Methane Freefly - got stink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiki 0 #6 August 24, 2004 true i figure if anything i can learn to pro pack and then i can be really useful, well hopefully Just because I appear sweet doesn't mean I can't kick your ass! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blind_Jumper 0 #7 August 24, 2004 Packers are our friends, when we can't jump sometimes we pack so others can, and so we can afford to jump more later...remember with time you will be in the blue sky tasting the freedom once more until then work on packing and watch some landings they will help you get better by seeing how the winds are normally and how everyone else handles them...

Kiki 0 #8 August 24, 2004 yeah i do need to work on packing and seeing how everyone else works with the wind on their approaches from altitude. So yeah, i guess learn to pack better and more effiecently. thanksJust because I appear sweet doesn't mean I can't kick your ass! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
