Lainey 0 #26 March 1, 2004 i never really thought about doing it until i got given a tandem as a birthday present. My close friend was friends with a skydiver so we went and jumped with him, as soon as i came down i knew i wanted to go back up. .

skybrat68 0 #27 March 1, 2004 I would have never thought to jump out of a plane if it weren't for my Randy. I have a terrible fear of heights and until you actually experience skydiving you have no clue that the two have nothing to do with each other. It still took him about 3 months to get me in the air. Even though it took someone else to get me started, all it took was that first leap and it became all about me. No turning back now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #28 March 1, 2004 QuoteI am planning my trip through AFF right now and would never have thought about doing this if it hadn't been for Lummy. Be careful of Lummy, he corrupts people. I did it because I always wanted to. If you're waiting for a big story, ask Michele. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
