BobB 0 #9 August 15, 2003 So you're the one responsible for the "lovely" Raeford weather this summer? Bob P.S. - Sorry about the wreck. I'm glad you're still around to talk about it. At least you get another chance to skydive...many motorcycle wrecks take that opportunity away. **Vibes** for a quick recovery. Yes, I know it is snowing. No, we are not putting the top up.

conhails 0 #12 August 15, 2003 Broken knees aren't all bad though... I wrecked mine about 4 years ago playing Rugby, ACL sheared clean off, others stretched and cartilage gone. I can't play again, but thankfully it's meant i could get round to getting into skydiving - i can still land okay see. (p.s. i can appreciate the feeling/depression of not being able to do your first love - yes rugby was my first love!... On the bright side at least you will jump again..) _______________________________________ Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.....

betzilla 56 #15 August 15, 2003 here's a great website for the broken: www.mybrokenleg.com I would've gone completely nuts without it while I was healing. They're generally leg-injury friendly too -- you need not have a broken bone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clownburner 0 #16 August 15, 2003 Careful there, man. If you get your wish and it does rain every weekend for 4 months, you'll be grounded a lot longer because of all the angry skydivers showing up at your house with baseball bats. Heal fast, the sky will wait for you.7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
