  1. Hi , Is 30 to old to begin this sport? Most seem to be pros by 30 or ready to retire. Also I am NOT an adrenaline junkie, Im actually reserved shy timid. But Im drawn to this sport by the spectacular beauty and sensation of flying and freedom. Iv heard many say to be successful you cant fear death, but I do fear death, I also want to live my life. I work in a hospital and perform well under pressure I stay calm in the storm when others freak out, But I have yet to make vital decisions when facing my own possible demise so I dont know how I will react if something were to take a turn for the worst.Id love to be able to fly in a wing suit one day, it just seems magical. However I know dreaming about something and the realities of actually doing it are too totally different things. I feel Iv seen every you tube skydiving and base jumping and wingsuit flying video there is,all The fatalities and all the successful amazing jumps to. I have lived my life admiring those who have the courage to live theirs.I supose to have the ultimate experience you must be willing to pay the ultimate price.Id hate to leave this world without this experience but I dont want it to be my last either. Iv read all the statistics and I know I could die from anything everyday at any moment. I suppose I am looking for a little encouragement to make my first jump because deep down I know Ill love it. But its difficult to ignore that little voice that says what if its the last thing I ever do and How terrified Id be if something went wrong. Im tired of being scared to live my life. Scared to drop in on big waves, scared to ride my new motorcycle above 15 miles an hour lol. This sport seems so Beautiful and spectacular. Im looking for support friends real words of encouragment, stories of first jumps. Advice. What if Im not the personality type for this, Im not a thrill seeker per say. Please be kind and Thank you for your help. Oh and Id love to Hallo dive to or dive around the world like in front of Mt Everest, China, Heavens Gates. But again its a dream.........How many people out there are as scared as I am vs people out there who arnt scared at all who have been successful at this sport. Idd like to make my first jump this October on my birthday but I dont know if Im ready, I dont want to wait till Im to old either because if I really like it I wont be able to really pursue it. Well thanks again
