Well, I used to think of myself as experienced.. But I did the unthinkable, I sold my gear which I never recemind.. Its been 3 years since my last jump until this weekend. I told myself I am not going to give up what I love to do any longer. That was a very hubbling experience, the skydive's were great but the things I thought I would never forget - I forgot! The hardest thing for me to do is to find out what gear to buy, such as canopies... There is so much more new stuff out there its overwhelming at times.. So after you have 11years in the sport and 1500 jumps never think that you are experienced because that will only get you hurt.. The one thing that I think about most now is that always have respect for yourself and for the ground! Keep the skies blue and the grass green!
