That sucks. Truly. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Great news - Thank you. :) One last question - Can someone from the US rent a car and drive to the DZ?

Worst case scenario, I assume its fun to jump in the desert, as well? _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Hey guys... I have the chance to go to Dubai for a week in Feb to give a speech, and was hoping to finally jump the famous Palm dropzone - Just noticed, however, that it's a D license restriction due to some kind of construction project... Any idea as to when it might go back to a B license only so I could actually get a jump or two in? I don't mind going to the desert drop zone, but to be in Dubai and not get video of that amazing Palm... Well, that seems unfair. :) Thanks, guys... -Peter _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Done. Didn't show the canopy because I didn't want to repack it. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Two days of jumping, two of touring. arrive tues, home sat. Jumping weds and thurs. Goal is to get tan. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Someone actually posted that on Facebook this morning. I'm waiting to hear back to find out where he jumped, and what idiot instructor would let someone on their FIRST SOLO use a camera. Are we just getting stupider as a sport, or am I overreacting? _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

No, we're still at home. We have a grandson's birthday party to go to today, then we'll bet at the dz later. Peter, Doc and Cindy are coming to our first trailer dinner party! Nothing like a week late - This was an AWESOME first dinner party!! Thank you, Skymama and Normiss! :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

Hey gang... So because of a relatively high blog/twitter/facebook audience, I sometimes get invited to do interesting things, try new things, explore new things, etc... Got invited to do the Gatorade Fitness Challenge (got my ass kicked beyond belief) and other fun things. I'm climbing Pico de Orizaba in February, sponsored by Eddie Bauer's outdoor line... Anyhow, I think it might make an interesting post to have a first-hand description of what it's like to go hypoxic. Obviously, I'd like to do this in a controlled environment, the safest way possible, but really show what happens - how all of a sudden, basic counting of numbers becomes hard, etc. Would make for some interesting video, to say the least. Might anyone here know of any places in the US that this could take place for a regular civilian? Much appreciated. :) -Peter Are there _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

Anyone know any details? Just got an alert from @NotifyNYC - Would go and watch if it's anyone I know... -Peter _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Hey gang... Working with a reporter who's profiling CEOs, small business owners, and entrepreneurs with ADD or ADHD, and how they deal with it. I mentioned that skydiving "calms me," and she wants to know if I'm the only one who manages their ADD/ADHD with jumping (or anything not related to taking meds.) I told her I'm sure there were more like me (one of us... one of us...) And told her I'd ask around. If you fall into the above categories, and feel like getting some exposure for you and your company, drop me an email - [email protected] and I'll connect you. Hope you're all well! :) -Peter _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

You DO know I didn't do it intentionally, and felt like a total asshole after, right? Still cringe when I think about it. I laugh a litte, too, but still cringe. :) That was you???? Bastard! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

My first job was an editor at AOL. We all had to work customer support one day a month. (This was back in 1995.) I got a TTY call for tech support.

HEY BROKE!

Could work - I keep a car in the city, so you're welcome to drive with me, as well. (I have a sordid past with SI, I'll share it sometime.) :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I remember doing that!! :) Skymama: Jumping probably at the Ranch, Skydive Long Island, and wherever my business travel takes me. Piisfish: Wanna meet me down there? I could do a long weekend... _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
