    Probably the greatest thing I have ever done:D. Fell from 14,000ft. It was about 60 Seconds of freefall and 5 or 6 minutes of gliding. I Highly recomend it to everyone not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

    I did the tandem. It was about 5 minutes of instruction with my instructor. Sadly it took me longer to fill out the 5 or 6 pages of legal wavers than the instrction did. One funny thing was that they don't even tell you how to land until the parachute is open. If you want to go solo they said it is an 8 hour class followed by a solo jump with 2 instructors. Then in is only about 30 minutes of class for each jump after that. 25 jumps to get certified.
