i have , its insane !! Can't wait to go again. For your first jump BUY THE VIDEO. I know it's expensive but no other jump is like your first. You will look like such a pu$$, lol.

If you are going for your first time and you don't go tandem then your a moron. In PA you must jump 3 times tandem before you can jump solo.

well the solo is with two instrctors on ur side the whole time....and the freefall is twice as long...thats why i asked..in cali solo can be done on the first jump

**DSM4Life** · 02-08-2006, 06:36 PM

I personally wouldn't. Too many things can go wrong. Just take it safe for the first few times.

my next jump will be solo... oh its great.. ask to do spins in the air, def worth it

It's my number one hobby! personally I wouldn't buy the video, I'd buy another ticket! If you really like it the best advice is to stop doing it, save up like 1500$ and get certified. It will eat through your wallet if you keep buying tickets without a licence. Once you get a licence you jump for dirt cheap.

Never have, i want to go skydiving

**1morerep** · 02-09-2006, 08:46 PM

i went with some buddies and they all wanted to tandem i had the instructor on my back. longer free fall for me -thats what i wanted, we went up to 10,000ft but because i was the only student they went up to 12,500ft. we reached our altitude opened the door and shiit the air is cold up there, we jumped out and it takes a split second before gravity kicks in so for an instant your motionless then all of the sudden you fall and fall fast, we reached almost 200mph and free fell for almost 1/2 min. all on video too. whatarush.

i would but i am scared to death of heights

**brewerpi** · 02-09-2006, 11:19 PM

tandem looks GAY

**solid-d** · 02-09-2006, 11:45 PM

look around for difereent heights.. I jumped 3 times at 14,000...Anything under 12 or 13000 ft is too low and will only subtract free fall time..

O man it's amazing you gotta do, i've been twice, from 9,500 feet, and 15,000 feet.
