Skydiving

I have been having a rough patch and I have decided to fill my days with activities that I have always been too scared or lazy to do. Was thinking about some skydiving for starters. Anyone with experience out there on what I should expect. Also any ideas on other activities to enrich your life???

Are you not required for what I think it is a “Tandem” dive for your first time out?? Scuba diving is another thing but I havnt ever really been immpressed by going underwater, but it would be cool so I may pursue that in the future. Also I will most likly be strapped to someone that way I don’t have a choice of going out the plane. It seems kinda freaky just thinking about it. But I am gonna man up and go just need to find where it is available and prices up here

I have never skydived, but I have always wanted to. I think you should do it! You should find a place today and set it up! It is definitely one of those activities that is good for the soul. You need to look up a skydiving compant right now, if you have not already. Just do it! :)

Awesome! I think that is great! Just the fact that you are challenging yourself is so cool.

If you think you may want to learn to skydive…..call ahead and make arrangements for AFF instruction. It is a tandem progression instruction that will have you jumping on your own in about 4 jumps.

If you don’t want to worry about anything your first time, then a regular introductory tandem is in order. You won’t regret getting the video.

I have only jumped once so far, but I pack parachutes at least every weekend.

Most people will get nervous after the door opens on the aircraft before you jump, but once you leave the aircraft……pure heaven……it’s awesome.

I hope you will let me know how you like it. If you can put the video on you tube or something…..that would be so cool!

If you have any questions, the dz (drop zone) will be able to help you.

If I can answer any questions for you, let me know…..Shakey…..Cowabungaaaaaaaa!
