The closest is probably Skydown Sport Skydiving near Boise, ID. We jump year round! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Yep! I was 57 when I started and have almost 6 years in the sport now. I have over 1000 skydives and have been on a couple of state record jumps! If you are reasonably fit, go for it. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Glad you had a good time. If you're through this way again, maybe I'll be able to make it out, too. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

The one you didn't hear from is closed until sometime in the spring. If I didn't have to work, I'd be glad to come play. Paul and Denise at Skydown will make a real effort to get you in the air is you can spend some time there. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

I did my first jump at 57 and five years later, I just got my gold wings for having made 1000 jumps. Sure glad no one tried to tell me I was too old!!! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Yay! Time to book my flight!! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Not fair!!!! I can't be there until Friday. I'd even bring my crw rig! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Somehow, I couldn't resist updating my first post on dz.com. I apparently wasn't too old. Last weekend I did my 1000th skydive with some awesome crw dawgs at Elsinore. It has been an amazing adventure... great friends, fun jumps, tall tales around the bonfire. I bet the next 1000 will be as great as the first 1000.

Wow! Skootz!!! A month and you just now realized the thread is here...... "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Why not! I conveniently have vacation scheduled for precisely those dates! Wouldn't miss it!!!! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

It was a fantastic weekend!! CRW dawgs rock!! Thanks bunches to everyone involved.. I'm already lookign forward to next year! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

I started a little over 4 years ago at the age of 57. I'm almost to 1000 jump now, (only 18 to go). I'f you're in reasonable shape, you should be good to go. You might find you don't learn quite as quickly as you did when you were younger. But it's such an amazing adventure, who cares if it takes you a bit longer. Have fun!
