Went skydiving for the first time, and my boyfriend gave me a kiss in free fall. He has been skydiving for 30 years. I don't know if I'll ever stop falling now!

Life could only get better if I fell from Jimmy's Plane!

Skydivers drink a lot of beer and become thrifty just to save up money to do it. I got the first part handled but I'm going to have to make a big change in my spending habits to go AFF (Accellerated Free Fall).

Skydived in fall (no pun) of 1990 (or is it skydove?)

Solo static jump. No tandem BS for me.
One of biggest rushes of my life!! Had to do it again!

Went back the next weekend to do it again, but Santa Ana winds
would not allow for student jumpers like me!
Same thing happened the following weekend, and the moment just kinda passed...

Starting to think about it again

The chute ride is boring, it's all about the free fall. Learning to fly and trust the people flying with you. That's the rush. Camaraderie is born and normally smart people are crazy. Life comes into a new perspective.

There were 360 skydivers registered at the boogie at Lost Prairie, MT. If you go, go when there's a boogie! It's the most awesome sites and sounds and people and drunk there is!!!

I am sure the drunk is not anywhere near as good as Maggotfest.

R2 did you ever participate?

We sailed McGregor Lake and saw the Milky Way at night, the sky was so clear!

Does Maggotfest last every night 'till dawn for a week?

It is a couple hundred rugby players and a couple thousand others coming together to play. What do you think?

You don't have to sober up to play rugby.

The ground is so far away, it's more like floating in a wind tunnel. Then a jerk when the canopy opens, then all is quiet. Just the breeze on the chute. You just float for 5 minutes or so and glide sofly to the earth.

Kissing one guy, with another on my back? I'd consider it!

Skydive? I don't think so!
