I am 75 and in excellent shape. I workout regularly, quite competent gamer, Advanced and Rescue Scuba diver, rode motorcycles from 1965 until 2012. I don't drink, never smoked or did "drugs" - in other words totally boring! I could go on but you get the picture. The point is my career meant that I didn't get a chance to do some of these things until I was in my 50's and 60's.
I have on my "bucket list" Skydiving. I have been turned down by the two closest DZ's in my area (Southern Ontario) without ever meeting me or talking to me; the just refuse to take any one over 60 as a beginner.
I have been studying books, videos and on line articles to prepare myself. What should I do, quitting my quest is not an option. There may be a school in Toronto that may take me but I have been warned that they will charge me for a "Tandem" jump then say I need to do more of them and drag this out and say they don't think I am qualified - I have been told this is a pattern with them - not saying I think it is true just cautious.
Any suggestions on my next steps?
