This past weekend, Matt set up my photo and video pages. Once I started adding pictures, I wasn't sure where to stop. I wanted to make sure there were a fair number of photos before I launched the site, but how many is too many? I've never really liked pictures of myself, and really didn't have very many. Before I started skydiving, most of the pictures I took were of my kids.
Skydivers LOVE to see pictures of themselves. Every month when we receive our Parachutist, we look through the pages hoping to see one of the following:
Listed in order of importance:
- Picture of Ourselves Alone Being Awesome
- Picture of Ourselves With A Hot Chick Being Awesome
- Picture of Ourselves With a Small Group
- Picture of Ourselves With a Large Group
- Hot Chick - Naked Or Topless (Hey..85% of skydivers are men!)
- Hot Chick We Know
- Hot Chick We Don't Know
- Photo Credit For A Picture
- Article We Wrote With a By Line
- Article That Mentions Us By Name
- Mention In The Awards / New Licenses
- Picture of Friend
- Picture a Friend Took
- Badass Picture Of Something We Want to Try
- Picture of Someone We Have Met
- Picture of Someone We Have Heard Of Before
- Mention in Incident Reports (Happy to be alive!!!!)
We sure like our pictures! What's better than seeing our picture in the Parachutist?
Hmmm....watching our videos with all our friends and family! Skydivers LOVE LOVE LOVE to see ourselves on the TV/Computer.
Of course, most people don't want to watch a video that doesn't include them in some way. If you are new to the sport, your family and friends will start out interested. At some point (I know this is shocking), they will actually get bored with your skydiving stories, pictures, and videos. But fear not my friend, if you are jumping with a group, all of those people will love your videos and pictures!
I picked an assortment of skydiving videos to share. Hope you enjoy watching them!
