selbbub78 0 #26 January 26, 2004 Nah, they all think i have some sort of death wish with my extra ciricular activities I have all of my little cousins wanting to do it as soon as they turn 18 though i'm such a good influence on everyone"Women fake orgasms - men fake whole relationships" – Sharon Stone "The world is my dropzone" (wise crewdog quote) "The light dims, until full darkness pierces into the world."-KDM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DShiznit 0 #27 January 26, 2004 My wife will probably never jump, but hopefully I'll get her to do a tandem someday. My dad said that he might go up for a tandem, maybe within the next year. My brother in law is TI/AFF-I. Skydiving is his full time job. My sister (his wife) has about 100 jumps. That's about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #28 January 26, 2004 My wife skydives, but thats not very suprising since I met craichead at the DZ. Before that, none of my family jumped. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb092 0 #29 January 26, 2004 I met my wife in a dirt dive, and introduced myself on the plane. We jump together whenever I am not shooting tandem vids. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My youngest sister made about 25, my brother was Canadn National Champion with 1100 jumps, and my 2nd wife made 23.I had another brother who also made a few...not sure how many Bill Cole D-41 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrrus 0 #34 January 27, 2004 My son and I did our first jumps together, AFF together, on a 4-way team together and about 500 or so jumps in the same sky, many on big or small ways. Oh yes his mom (my Ex) has two tandems and My Dad a tandem at 76. He loved it! Most recently tunnel time at Perris, you guessed it two ways. Although jumping with Kin is cool so is jumping with the rest of our skydive family. We have lots of brothers, sisters, moms and dads.

skygod7777 0 #35 January 27, 2004 yea, my dad has about 2700 jumps. my sister made about 60 and stopped. my mom has about 3 jumps or so. and then my 2 brothers have made about 15 or so jumps. other than that i think a few aunts and uncles have made a tandem. i dont get to jump with my dad much, but when i do it's always cool. i don't know, it's just fun to go jump with the dad sometimes. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ypelchat 0 #36 January 27, 2004 QuoteMy husband was a skydiver. I've put in time in the tunnel with my son, does that count? I have a cousin who jumps, but he does FF and I do RW. So, we don't do much jumping together. You and your cousin, are good candidates to do HYBRID jumps. Don't you think? Hybrid jumps is the way to go to bring FF people and RW people together. HYBRID jumps are fun! Yves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falko 0 #37 January 27, 2004 My sister did a Tandem when I had about 20 jumps. My foster-dad did one when I had around 180. Never seen him so excited!

mr2mk1g 10 #39 January 27, 2004 My godfather used to jump when he was in the military. He had about 50 jumps in total and became an instructor. The jump requirement for instructor rating was 6 jumps He keeps promising to send me his old log book with the ratings in the front. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tb62871 0 #41 January 27, 2004 I'm the oldest of three boys and all three of have jumped at some point. My middle brother has about 500 but doesn't jump much now. The youngest got to 11 and decided it wasn't for him, and I got my A last June --TB Welcome my friends to the show that never ends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydvrz 0 #43 January 28, 2004 My step daughter finished IFF training but has yet to get off student status. She doesn't get much time to jump since she is in the USAF and has a busy flying schedule. My youngest son made it all the way through AFF (on my nickel) before deciding he preferred terra firma to blue skies. Grrrr. My Eldest son did a tandem and turned a lovely chartreuse color. Don't think I'll get him to jump again. Oh well, one out of three ain't bad. ---------------------- I'll think of a really cool and witty signature later.

josebaumanndez 0 #44 January 28, 2004 I have family all over the U.S.. They were all so impressed when I started jumping, so I tried like hell to recruite them to the sport. I visited a bro in Dallas, and talked him into an AFF, and he loved it, as I knew he would. He continued jumping, but the sis in-law spoke against it, so he quit, that Bitch!--------------------------------------------------------- Everyday's a holiday, every meal's a banquet!

Kdsosso 0 #45 January 28, 2004 My dad started jumping rounds at Pope Valley (you can guess his age..lol..lol..). My younger brother and older sister both made one jump each about 5 years ago. I never thought about jumping, nor did he ever ask me. Then one night he convinced my best girlfriend to do a tandem, so I drove up with her and did a tandem .....now I can't imagine life without jumping. I jump with my dad almost every weekend and when I don't I miss him. My dad says it in my blood and I have to agree at this point! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scottyb 0 #46 January 28, 2004 My wife and did our first tandem together and both graduated AFP & got our license about the same time. The only other family member to jump is my physically challenged sister who did a tandem. No one else seems interested. Our son is thinking about a tandem next month when he turns 18.
