What do you like to do for fun

Can be anything by yourself, with friends or your spouses

Skydiving, bouldering, bowling. Won my first jump competition a few weeks ago on a walk off!

Man I want to skydive so bad but I just don’t have the guts

My son skydives, snowboards, boulders,etc.

A few years ago he got me a tandem jump for my birthday….he thought it would be something I would like and that we could do together once a year.

I made the jump, so I can say I’ve done it….but about 30 seconds after landing he runs over with a big smile on his face “did you love it!?”

I replied “fu:k no I didn’t love it”.
I will never go again….to be honest though, free falling was not terrible….its my fear of equipment failure more than anything….

What’s your son’s main DZ? Is it one of the Spacelands? If he’s still a jumper, there’s a chance we might have taken a load up

On the note of equipment, it’s very very rare for it to go wrong and all comes down to human error. The tech has been the same for 40+ years. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

the equipment failure is a big thing for me also - one of the main reasons I never enjoyed roller coasters as a kid. Im terrified (not haha fun scared but actually terrified) the whole time im on a ride and all I think about is the seat strap failing or something breaking.

I doubt I’ll ever go sky diving - I only like what I can control…

Oddly enough, had two co-workers that had “something” go wrong. One actually survived , but has lots of issues to this day due to the many broken bones. The other was not so lucky. Separate incidents …but what would be the odds of having 2 co-workers you know have fatal and near fatal accidents ?

This might come down to the dropzone itself or weather conditions. A lot can go down (at most I’ve had my parachute tangle up but I just bicycle kick out of it).

Whatever y’all do don’t go to Lodi Parachute Center. Just don’t

Exactly!!!

As a kid riding the Texas Cyclone terrified me….and like you it wasn’t the speed or drops….it was this fear in my mind that we were going off the tracks at anytime or I would fall out.

Completely irrational but I couldn’t get over it.

I never road the Cyclone. My older brother and his friends always took the back car b/c apparently it would come off the tracks in a few spots and get sketchy…. They thought it was fun - I simply never got on it lol

Kinda wish I had now since it’s all gone forever, but yeah nah, not for me.
