[Mr...] Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 My friends at their best! I only do regular skydives but this is just Mr A this is so exciting! I always wanted to skydive How long have you been doing this? Hmmm I think I might have to give this a try ( not the extra dare-devil stuff, the regular dangerous stuff ) So thrilling I was "air born" on 1th of april 2007. This was my life ever since...Believe it or not is a relatively safe sport. Benzo withdrwal is extreme. Skydiving is a walk in a park After my family, this is the thing that is my light at the end of the tunnel. Funny thing: some days I struggle to gett out of bed but I could do a skydive right now! I've made a promise to my family that I'll wait till the end of my taper... Everyone should try it in their life time!!! I post my pictures here and there to remind my self and others that there's so much beauty out there worth going back to! My "regular dive": Why jump? Have a look: https://vimeo.com/44007931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look: https://vimeo.com/44007931 Mr A What a glorious photo of yourself. W O W This is your 8th year being "air born" ~ fascinating. Your enthusiasm shines through in your writing and I am sure you are eager for your next experience. The video is interesting: enjoyed hearing the descriptions of their experiences as well as the beautiful photography of the jumps. at 5:22 in the video, there is a skydiver with an interesting parachute. I've never seen a parachute like that. I'm fascinated by this, and applaud your passion and drive to pursue what you love. I definitely would like to try this ~ although through the years my family members have dared me to skydive One thing, it seems to involve tremendous concentration and control The skydivers are beautiful acrobats, dancers and flying athletes ... I don't know how you describe yourself ? Those were thoughts that came to mind watching the video Thrilling, Mr A Thank you for being so kind to share your photo and the video. I'm in awe Stay passionate and full of curiosity, my friend. Hugs Ins "I was a pilot and flying hang gliders, paragliders, aerobatics airplanes, and then I discovered skydiving. Free fall. Free. With nothing around you, just a parachute on your back. And you go down. But you don't feel like you're going down. Total freedom." ~Yves Rossy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I focus on my goals and try to ignore the rest. - Venus Williams It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses. - William Arthur Ward I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, pressure and joy. - Shawn Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
