Chatting with family in Newfoundland over the airwaves (Skype video rocks!), visiting a ‘Head shop‘ (to gawk in awe, rather than to partake ;)), and celebrating Douglas Spotted Eagle’s 24 hour and 1000 jump achievements with a yummy traditional Thai meal, priceless!
slaDE and I have decided to renew our USPA Skydiving Coach Rating certification, and in order to achieve this, we needed to sit through and assist with an Accelerated FreeFall training class. I never did graduate as a student through the AFF program, but rather learned via Static-line round parachutes over in the UK (October…
It’s been almost a month since we had the chance to last skydive over California. And since then, we’ve been on the go-go-go, filling our lives with such wonderful adventures and tangents. However, now that we are blessedly stationary, I’ve been noticing how picky I’ve become in my opportune moments to leap like a lemming….
After a lot of time confined to small spaces, I find the need to explore and walk. With a passion for walking, I love to stretch my limbs, feeling their length and the power of my physical body. With the skydivers on hold due to the approaching storm, I had the opportunity to explore the…
slaDE~ and I made the commitment today to spend a couple of weeks stationed here at Skydive Elsinore. I’m excited! We haven’t remained stationary for more than a week since leaving Texas. I’m feeling the need to nest. Get myself organized. Start on my tax prep. Stuff. Important matters that are hard to attend to…
Skydive Perris is to Lake Elsinore as Skydive Spaceland is to Skydive Houston. The latter drop zones have so much more character, in our opinions, and display the sort of personalities that really draw us to the sport, the people, upholding our vision of what skydiving is all about for uS. Don’t get me wrong,…
Settled. Comfortably enjoying what it means not to be moving, chasing our dreams, living on the edge. Quiet solitude. Stillness. Nesting. Contemplating. Breathing. Just being. And surfing the web, of course 🙂 Succulent sweetness!
Two days at the Yoga Journal conference wa enough for me and hubby, so we decided to spend the day with Tall Guy, skydiving at Byron if the weather was favourable. Not an easy call to make on whether to drive out there, as the fog seems to be a steady companion to the area,…
Arising early, we got off to one of quickest morning starts yet on this adventure. The fog was dense as pea soup, which made for rather precarious driving as militant drivers grew impatient, with following behind us in the mire, and would pull out dangerously close to oncoming traffic in an attempt to bypass our rather…
Whoa, what a night! Not only was the pain and discomfort a jolt to my sleep pattern, the trailer was a rockin’ with the blasting winds and downpour of rain. Our previous Eloy winter had us see strong winds, but last night really topped the cake. I truly thought that we might actually roll over…
