Went skydiving Saturday..
 
It was incredible! I recommend anyone who hasn't been to go. It just blew me away. You haven't lived until you've skydived.

they have a few places out here to go to and I was thinking I'd do it at the end of the summer. I figure if anything happens...I at least had a great summer. That and I could prob get a full page in the University's paper. LOL

But from the people that i've talked to they said it was one of the best things they'd ever done. You get pictures?

tandem jump I assume? or have you been taking lessons? Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I went once and would love to do it again.

Yeah it was tandem. I will be taking the accelerated free fall course to jump by myself. takes a while and quite a bit of cash to do. but it was kind of spur of the moment, my buddys b-day. we jumped from 12500 feet, it was a 60 second free fall. the plane we took was small, and the door was broken so they just took it off, and i was sitting 6 inches from it the whole plane ride. it was crazy. just when you think the plane has reached jumping altitude, it goes higher. and i asked the guy to do back flips when we jumped, and he did. it was so fucking cool. DO IT.

Lazerred6 07-17-2008 10:37 AM

gotMACH04 07-17-2008 11:20 AM

wow awesome gift .. im looking at a few places in the pa/nj/ny area and havent found anything under like 190 so i guess thats what im gonna be paying

htownv6 08-02-2008 05:43 PM

yeah so i went with a few buddies today it was amazing ... we jumped from 13500ft and i couldnt even tell u how long it took to get down but it felt like awhile .. it was a bomber plane too so they opened the back and we got to run and jump out it was crazy.. def. reccomend trying it

PColav6 08-02-2008 05:59 PM

I got invited to tag along in military-style jump school that trains WWII paratrooper reenactors for their jumps, I'd definitely be going if it wasn't like $3000

in delaware i paid 270 to tandem jump totally worth it in my opinion. i went to south delaware to jump and i cant remember the name of the city but its in the same city that has a pretty big bike show.

im also going to jump again later this month and its going to cost 300 for everything... i really need to get these tandem jumps out of my way so i can get closer to a free fall on my own! now that would be sick!

Dave04Mustang 08-03-2008 09:23 AM

i don't think I have the balls to jump out of an airplane, off a bridge, etc lol

03_GT 08-03-2008 10:56 AM

Im going soon, but most of my friends and family are chickens.. Im gonna sky dive over South Beach, Miami prolly summer of 09..
