All you young whipper snappers>:(....why when I was you age....I had to walk 5 miles through waist deep snow to get to the DZ....and half the time that damn zepplin would be grounded due to the Red Barron striffing the area because his wife liked young skydivers.........

ok this is how i put my first rig together.

i traded a velocity freefly helmet for an '83 vector w/ reserve

borrowed 200 dollars from my dad to buy a used cypress.

paid 300 dollars for a conquest 150 main.

that was my starter rig which i got a great deal on and now that rig only has a main and im in the process of looking for another reserve so it can be jumpable again.

i'm talking like 18-25 years old. none of this "young at heart" stuff either. :P i'm 20, and my best friend who also dives is 21.

I'm 21 too. Started skydiving at 52, but I was older then.:)

Chronologically you may be older than us, but you've got the immaturity part down pat;)

Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

i´m 22.
I don´t think much about age differences when I´m at the dropzone though. I met one of my coolest friends through skydiving and she is 16 years older. I´ve got a lot more in common with her if I compare with most of people I meet in school.

I turned 22 this year and consider myself lucky I started when I did. Quite a few jumpers at my club that haver been in the sport for only a few years have a few hundred jumps. It would be nice to have 1000 by the time I am 30.

We only have jump weather for 6 months up here.
