What did you give up for skydiving

[grlsgotalot2lrn 0]

Getting involved in skydiving almost guarantees you are going to have to give something up. So. what was it for you - financial stability, wuffo friends, that new car you were eyeing, etc. ? what has been your biggest sacrifice/lifestyle change you've made for skydiving?

Boredom.

And lots of down time. But worth every minute.

Spending more time with friends and family.
I do try to make a special effort sometimes, but I know deep down it is not enough.

Maybe a normal relationship with someone....

Not sure if I am ready to give up skydiving for the other life though.

I think true friendship is under-rated

I have given a lot up, but I have gained in so many ways.

[WrongWay 0]

A few friends, a girlfriend, a dirtbike, a bunch of snowboarding gear, and my savings account.

Totally worth it. I wouldn't change a thing.

Nothing, I practice balance in my life.

If one thing is taking control over your life, then you need to re-evaluate that one thing.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey

I thought I had given up some other hobbies for skydiving, but now I'm gravitating back to doing those hobbies occasionally (especially during bad weather weekends) so its all good.
