    I just recently got a low paying job and I realize that $14k a year aint gonna do **** for me if I want to actually get into this hobby. I was just wondering what kind of job or whatever you all have that provides enough money to enjoy jumping. I mean I could go somewhere once or twice a year on that but that's about it.

    >>Your best bet is to get a degree. The most valuable thing you can have isn't diamonds or gold or stacks of money, it's your earning power. Money get's spent eventually, but earning power can last a lifetime. Having a degree will increase your earning power. Junior colleges are cheap and you can transfer to a University once you're far enough along. What do you want to do career-wise?

    Mate the pink hat I have that was given by faber is not flattering. It is a pink hat in the style of a deer stalker but designed with 3yr old girls wearing them in mind.

    You still want one?

    my rig was only $700 total. as long as you don't get busted the jumps are free..... what's to afford? trips are cool if you wan't be legal, but what fun is that? I say tresspass, break and enter, and unlawfull arial deliver your way to free and honest fun! If that's not good enough for you than you could alway sell smack to school kids..........
