It is one thing to be in the proximity of death, to know more or less what she is, and it is quite another thing to seek her.
- Ernest Hemingway
Only skydivers know why the birds sing. They never have to pack a parachute.
I belong to the sky. Unfortunately the earth keeps insisting I return to Her.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
- Helen Keller
If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming.
If you want to experience the element, then get out of the vehicle.
When the people look like ants - Pull.
When the ants look like people - Pray.
Out of 10,000 feet of fall, always remember that the last half inch hurts the most.
- Captain Charles W. Purcell, 1932
Man uses only 11% of his brain.That's the fact that makes extreme sports possible.
Drive fast, pull low, and date your riggers wife.
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.
The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute.
- Gil Stern
What do you mean you can't land that canopy? God aimed the whole damn planet at you!
You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need one to do it twice
Don't worry if something goes wrong. You have the rest of your life to fix any problems.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.
You need a ball to play most sports, but in skydiving you need both!
Skydivers do it in the stable spread position.
You may never get rid of the butterflies, but you can teach them how to fly in formation
I'm immortal - so far.
