We all have to do it. Also known as “sucking it up and going to a job you may hate to pay the bills,” but that doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. Some skydivers do have some pretty sweet ways to pay the piper, though. If you already have your October issue of Blue Skies Mag, you know how North Carolina jumper Tommy Raymer does it—by building transmissions for a NASCAR team.

Next month, we’ll introduce you to Sean Rogan, skydiver and guitarist for Big D and the Kids Table, a ska (stroll?) band that just got off the Vans Warped Tour. Until then, enjoy the latest from Big D!
