You’re kewel.

Why did you stop skydiving?

I am recovering from torn rotator cuff surgery and that is one of the things I will be doing next year after I heal and for my 50th birthday.

God hasn’t seen fit to take me home so I thought I’d hasten things along. LOL

Jeest keeding. I have helicopter snowboarded and always wanted to sky dive.

“Why did you stop skydiving?”

I had a knee injury from helicoptering my skyboard, later compounded by a bad wind gust on landing. I was pretty thrilled to survive helicoptering. I love skydiving. I gave up flying to jump. I sold my Honda 750 Shadow to learn how to fly. Now, with every limp around the house, I have really happy memories. I’m a woman, I flew a skyboard, and I lived to tell about it. If I weren’t a nurse, I’d probably let some yahoo in a disease ridden hospital fix my knee.

“helicoptering my skyboard”

To clarify that, thats when you’re upside down, spiraling out of control toward the ground because your skyboard is spinning. Skydivivng isn’t that dangerous a sport, yet I’ve lost untold numbers of compadres, probably because it attracts type T (thrill seeker) personalities that want to push the envelope. I was always a “safety girl” to quote “Pretty Woman” even if I did some out there things.
