Default Perfect Skydiving Quote!

I found this quote a few days ago and it fits me perfectly! Just thought I would share with you all:

ORIGINAL: Leonardo DaVinci
"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the ground with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and will always want to be."
Josh

Yup! And I am always looking to the sky because it is so much more peaceful up there then here on the ground. I can't describe it.

Another friend said this after she went skydiving:

"And now I know why the birds sing."
-Andrea Seely

It's just so amazing.

I'll second that. Peaceful and a crazy adrenaline rush, all at the same time. Skydiving rocks.

+like a million! there's no bigger adrenaline rush when you're freefalling, and there's nothing on earth as peaceful as floating after you open your chute, absolutely beautiful

LOL, It is so true!!!

Its funny to think what everyone who has not experienced this feeling thinks when they read this thread. Until you try it you can't/won't understand it. LOL

How long have you been jumping?

I expected a quote like...

SShhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitt!!!!!


I've never been, but I've flown a small plane, and intend to buy an ultralight at some point in my life. It might be a little noisy, but I like having total control in the direction/height/duration of my flight. I DO want to sky dive though.

Skydiving is ultimate bliss, you can't describe in words the sensation you get falling at break necks speeds down towards the earth.

Skydiving is a school in which one must be a dropout in order to graduate.
