Do I Need All Those Sky Dives

[JNF]

Pikey, no need for disrespect. It's hurtful... remember hurt people, hurt people.

Thank everyone for the reply. I will do the dives and learn before anything else.

[Pikey]

Well how about you show some respect? It may seem a bit dramatic but do you know much blood has been spilled in this sport for some little youtube punk to come along and say they want a short cut?

These folks didn't put in their hard work at the dropzone either so you can come along and say "can i just learn from you?"

Thats disrespect.

Think about it.

Broken Tib/Fib has put me out about $25-$35K.

It ain't cheap when you're all busted up on the talus.

[Huck]

Grubber: I really like the way you worded this....."Better to give your $$ to the DZ than the hospital."..........makes a lot of sense.

To the OP: True story......a jumper I know (low time skydiver around 100 sd) wanted to take the quick road to become a BASE jumper. Found another a low time BASE jumper to take him to the Perrine for some jumps. Jump two of the day blew a toggle, landed hard, crushed ankle. Surgury/rehab ran close to $10K.........that's a lot of fuckin' skydives.

Think about it, all that shit you see on YT is edited down to the "best of the best" of peoples jumps. Small things can go wrong like a blown toggle........what would you do?????

I want to learn all I can before I take my first jump. I also do not want to spend to much on sky dive Jumps.

This is an oxymoron.

you blow a toggle at Perrine and crush your ankle is a "panic" situation...take the water and douche your sinuses...the doc bill for the sinus infection is a lot cheaper, too. I know, I blew toggles there, douched my sinuses and it only cost me like $65 bucks between the doc & scrips. You dry faster than you heal bones. Oh yeah, Easterpig rule # whatever, "don't worry, it'll grow back".

Easterpig rule # whatever, "don't worry, it'll grow back".

when i was a kid we had a scotty dog, with an annoyingly long tail that didnt fit the scottys whole chassy, it looked awkward. i considered wrapping a rubber band about 10 times , super tight around it, so it would fall off. and i wondered if it would ever grow back.
