I wasn't born and raised in the ghetto, nor did I have the urge to call it quits right after high school. I go to college at Kansas State, finishing up my pilot major while also in the Air National Gaurd. Personally, when I went to dropzones in California, they didn't look at my skin color, they just saw me as another person who wanted to jump. Who is to say that because of my ethnic and/or racial decent that I don't want as much of an adrenaline release than anybody else? I have seen many other people from all different races that have been adamant about not skydiving even a tandem. I think I do have more excitement than some people. I have had my private pilot's license for almost a year, joined the Air National Gaurd as an an aircraft specialist (AFSC: 2A656) over a year ago, love riding motorcycles, and just got my A-License for skydiving. And yes SkymonkeyONE, I have been laughing my ass off
