- I have around 500 and I wouldn't say that the adrenaline rush is
- gone, but it is certaintly different than my first few jumps.
- I like to think of it as love.
-
- When you first fall in love, there's a burning passion: you can't
- do without her (written from my male perspective). Then, as time
- goes on, you're still in love, but it's a mellow mature sort of love.
-
- When I first started, I became so addicted to the chemical ride
- that if more than two weeks went by w/o a skydive, I'd be a bitch
- to everyone until I got my fix (read: jump).
-
- Now, I'll still risk frost bite on 10 F degree days for want of
- a jump, but I won't get bitchy if I can't. I know she'll (read:
- skydiving) still be there when the weather clears up.
