gsxrjumper720 0 #1 November 24, 2008 I've been getting a lot of questions from my family lately about what I want for X-mas. New to skydiving this year, and loving every minute of it I know that I'll be asking for things that are Skydiving related. My question to you is outside of asking for a new Rig, Chute, AAD, or Reserve what is on your Christmas list this year? Blue Skies and Happy HolidaysLife is way too short not to enjoy every minute of it :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AliMac 0 #3 November 24, 2008 money to help me get the metal removed from my leg since its giving me so many problems, but the thing i want the most if the love of my life back... i would give anything in the world to have him back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllisonH 0 #4 November 24, 2008 The 2 things I asked for were a new RW suit and one of those laser pointer/powerpoint remote things. I know I'm getting the jumpsuit because my mother told me to order it with her credit card. Pretty sure my grandparents are getting me the pointer/remote, because it sounds all professional and my grandmother was looking for gift ideas that wouldn't encourage skydiving.

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #8 November 24, 2008 This may be silly to some, but all I really want is for everyone I love to be happy and healthy. I have everything else that I "need". But I may hire someone to clean my house once or twice a week - it would be a great gift to myself. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsxrjumper720 0 #9 November 24, 2008 Those are good things to be asking for, but what I meant was since not many people ask for the 2,3,4 thousand dollar gifts for the holidays, what are some reasonable priced skydiving related gifts people are asking for. I'm asking for a sweet multi purpose jump suite, and 20 jump tickets from my DZ.Life is way too short not to enjoy every minute of it :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
