I've never done skydiving before, it's on my list though. Do you jump regularly?

Yes I am not a huge addicted like most of the jumpers i know though, they are addicted! I just do it as a hobby and to get out of the house :)

Once you are in the sport its not that expensive running about 3-4k a year.

the start up is about 10k-13k though

Yeah the primary cost and the limited possibility to jump due to weather are what is keeping me off. Still I keep it on my list as it must be an insane adrenaline rush and feeling of freedom.

How many jumps have you made?

Actually the weather stuff is sometimes the best part of skydiving. You just hang out and drink with a bunch of people who are from all walks of life. The dropzones are usually large fields so fire and sports usually happen.

hahaha I see you know the sport is all about who has the most jumps :P I am new this year so I'm still sub 100 but I haven't counted recently. I just did some winter jumps and am about to go to mexico to jump.
