Base jumping is for sure the next big thing to try. They say you need at least 100 skydive jumps before transitioning to base jumping. Challenge accepted.

I have a feeling this has just opened up a whole new level of extreme sports. I mean I already cliff dive, surf, scuba dive, rock climb, race motorcycles and cars...this was the next logical step haha. It's only going to get worse. Now I want to try base jumping, wingsuits, hang gliders, hell even work up to flying a jet or something.

I've always wanted to try one of those wingsuits... there are some absolutely amazing YT videos out there

Re: My first time skydiving

Already set up another dive for this Sunday. I want to be in a wingsuit in under a year D:

Videos like those are so amazing.

Re: My first time skydiving

Wow...... good to cross that one off your bucket list huh

What did it feel like to be nothing more than a person and some cloth 13,000 feet above the earth :P

PS you cheated by being bald and avoiding the inevitable sex hair xD so really you didn't get the FULL experience.... hahah

Re: My first time skydiving

Any of you who want to go, **** trying to get other people to go with you, it's worth doing by yourself, it's that amazing ;D

those are some words to live by. you just going to sit around and not do anything fun in your life just because you can't find some one to do it with you? pfft.

was it $100 just to drop, or was the crash-course included?

[darkshark]

Re: My first time skydiving

There seriously isn't even a crash-course. As you're suiting up they just tell you "okay when we jump out, cross your arms over your chest and arch back like a banana" and that is literally the only training you get hahaha.

I'm going skydiving again in a few hours. Next time after this one I'll get to jump without anyone attached to me. Not gonna lie, that first jump without anyone else is going to have me nervous as **** haha.

Round 2

Can probably skip the first 2 minutes where it's just me and her goofing off.

I'm for sure taking the certification course next. Once you get your own equipment + cert, it only costs $13 per jump.
