going skydiving next weekend!

I recently joined the UC Skydiving club and will be making my first jump next weekend (on mothers day). Def. excited, nervous as hell... but this has been something ive wanted to do. its a bucket list item i need to check off before i die... which hopefully wont be for a long long time.

whos been before? how was it?

 

wow lucky. we have a skydiving school pretty close to me and ive always wanted to. good luck man. my buddy jumped outta planes while in the service and said theres nothing better in life. lol

 

One of the most natural feelings in the world is to jump off the ramp. just flail wildly and be sure to eat a HUGE breakfast before hand. J/k Truthfully, its awesome. even if your scared of heights.

 

I jumped once and loved it. Hard to explain but you don't get the stomach in your thoat feeling when you jump. It was on my bucket list too, next on the list for me is a shark dive

 

i will be going tandem this time. if i like it, i will get my cert.

sweet! i was thinking about that today... my stomach goes up in my throat a little too easy. lol.

as for the shark dive.. DO IT! its awesome!

 

I do it. Be careful, its addictive. I didn't intend on it becoming a hobby. Went with an ex girlfriend and never stopped.

 

lol thats what i fear. I am a hardcore adrenaline junkie. its expensive as hell too! unlike the other hobbies i do (scuba diving, rock climbing, mountain biking) you cant just buy all your stuff and only have to pay a little bit when you want to go.

 

i think we are starting out at 12500. my dad called me a crazy fool and "why would you jump out of a perfectly fine plane?" cuz dad... its for the rush. and because i can!

 

Nice man, skydiving is also on my to do list. Unfortunately so is longtravel. Hopefully i will set aside some money to go skydiving on my 21th birthday this November.

 

so tomorrow is the big day. went to the class today. I decided im gonna do the Accelerated Free Fall. i didnt know i didnt have to be certified to go solo (at least from 6000 ft to the ground)

super stoked... i bought the video package so i will post the vid and some pic on here.

 

Awesome! Im very jealous.
