I survived and it was AMAZING!
I really encourage everyone to try...
They made me a free DVD for organizing the group and I am currently working on ripping, and editing it down a little so that i can post it online...
IT WAS VERY FUCKING COOL
I will be organizing another trip soon... so if you are into trying I encourage you to contact me soon... July 22nd or mid-August seems likely...
To explain something - Tandem Skydiving is pretty expensive and here is why:
The cost (with my discount) is $249... Many people have said that they can go skydiving for $150 which is true but there is a big difference in the experience...
Tandem - $249
13,500 ft.
50 second Free Fall
20 minutes of training
You have to do nothing.. just enjoy the ride
Solo - $150
3,000 ft (first jump)
NO Free Fall
6 hours of training
all the responsibility for not dying is on you...
So thats the basics.. really SERIOUSLY you should try it.. it is really overall a very safe experience... and you will be high off the adrenaline for a few hours afterward.. GOOD TIMES.. contact me soon, if i can get substancial numbers we may be able to obtain a better discount.. |

What's free fall?
I thought that was where you fell without the shoot.
If you jump yourself you have to pull the shoot right away? |
Yes and yes |

If you go solo your very first time you have the shoot pulled for you by a kind of wire-device thing that is attached to the plane..
this is due to the fact that people can forget...
i think really you get about 5 or 6 seconds of free fall before it pulls..
i can ask my older brother because he did it this way
You can train-up to do it solo from higher and higher, but that is a progression thing where you have to get certified to do everything... its a process
