    Default Skydiving

    My son's girlfriend celebrated her birthday yesterday by doing a tandem skydive in Longmont. Jumped at 10,000',short freefall and then about a 4 minute jump. I've got to give her credit for doing it. She can't wait to do it again haha Great day for her.

    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    I skydived from '80 to '82, long before tandem jumping came about. Most fun I ever had! It's better when you have to save your life yourself.

    I did it in Cedar City Utah, 1978. No tandem at that time either. Pilot was wearing cut-offs, ball cap and sandals...period. Great time!
