    It's the wife's T4R so it's stock
    To solo jump, you've got to go through training before they'll let you do it. Tandem is the way to go for a quick thrill and to see if you like it.

    id rather spend that $240 on beer or something tangible...like say put it towards a new bumper...or even a new tattoo...than jump out of a perfectly good, functioning aircraft...

    if the aircraft was no longer functioning and headed down...i could see myself willingly jumping out of it...but not otherwise

    My college outdoor program does a trip to a skydiving place near Salem, OR every spring. It looks like me and at least 2 of my friends (tacoma02trd, and Timicha off here) are gonna try and get in on the trip. Looks like an awesome time to me! Tandem jump to play it safe and still get the rush though.
