Gravity Gear

Gravity Gear was started in 1995 by Bonnie Dutile. That's me. During my first year in the fine sport of skydiving, I was laid up for a few months due to an injury. The company I was working for wasn't pleased with this at all. Lying in bed I decided I was going to quit my day job as a Computer System Administrator/Accountant to skydive full time.

Considering the fact that I was a 100 jump wonder, and jumping for a living was not feasible yet, I decided I would draw a few pictures, put them on T-Shirts and hit the road. I sold T-shirts on the Boogie Circuit for a few years. These were some of the craziest years of my life that's for sure. In between my great adventures, I was able to compete on the Sirens 4-way team and get my rating as an AFF Jumpmaster my second year in the sport.

It has been my passion to help make new skydivers. It is most pleasing to watch their accomplishments in the sport. I make an effort to teach what I've learned through my trials and errors in the sport., so the same mistakes are not repeated. After managing the Pro-Shop at Bay Area Skydiving, I found my place in the sport of skydiving. So now I'm starting my own Pro-Shop at Skydive Lake Tahoe and here on the internet. I hope to hear from all the friends I've made over the last few years from all over the world.

Peace and blue skies !
