my first time skydiving

[twkg]

My dad goes regularly. I've been waiting two years. The first year I was too young. Then last year I was finally 18, but never got a chance to go.

All I have to say is DAMN! That was great!

[aaronfelipe]

How much is it?

[twkg]

It was $160 and then $60 for a video or $20 for stills.

[aaronfelipe]

Damn, that's alot. Just one time?

[twkg]

Yeah, it's because I went tandem. If you get certified it's only $20 a jump. That shit was wild. I think they said the fall rate was 1,000ft/6 seconds. They said the free fall part was 0-140 in about 4 seconds.

[aaronfelipe]

Damn, I would love to do that before I die.

[quickdodge®]

Goddamn that shit scares me. Lolol. I'd love to do it, but I know I'd be scared shitless. Later, QD.

[Kevykev]

shit looks hot man, almost went last year......yeah, almost!

[The Ren]

I have always wondered how it would be like.. I went bungee jumping before in Orlando.. and man that was sooo fun...

[Chuckster]

Its a grand to get your own shit to go by yourself. Tandam sucks!

Yeah, tandem isn't the best thing ever. It's not like everything was really planned out. Otherwise I would have asked to go solo. I was just sittin at home and my dad called and asked if I wanted to come up there and jump since the place is closing down some time next week.

[TheSnail]

What if the first time you go and once you jumped out you fainted? Is there a shoot that opens automatically at a certain altitude?

Yeah. I forget what it's called, but there's an altimeter that triggers your reserve at a certain altitude.

[twkg]

I was thinking the same thing.

Buahahahahha

I'm Colombian and even i was thinking the same thing

Pretty messed up though

[SC430=sex]

where did you do it at? what's the place called?

[twkg]

Skydive Monroe

[tina]

That looks like fun but i love my life tooo much so i say FUCK THAT
You never know what can go wrong

[twkg]

True...it freaked me out when he loosened the harness a bit when we were in the air. I was like.......SHIIIIIIT HE'S GUNNA DROP ME. Feels good to know I finally went and enjoyed myself though.

[Nemesis]

I will never be a photographer for that.... LOL

[twkg]

i was just thinking about that. that guy was really good....at least i think so. i dont know a lot of people that can follow somebody free falling and take still shots that well. looks like something you would see on a school text book or something.

[speedminded]

Takes you 7 jumps to get certified though.

Its a grand to get your own shit to go by yourself. Tandam sucks!

You can go solo your first time, just have to take the extra class (a little bit more money)...called accelerated freefall where you have to jumpmasters go out with you. To buy your own equipment you're looking at several grand.

[twkg]

^100% correct! lol, plus i'd rather have somebody who knows exactly what they're doing in control my first time out. AFF isn't for me just yet.

[Mr_Mischif]

Goddamn that shit scares me. Lolol. I'd love to do it, but I know I'd be scared shitless. Later, QD.

werd.

I have a good friend that's an instructor there. He had a nasty accident a few years ago while doing a stunt.

I've done it the exact same way. I too was not really feeling easy when he loosened the rig in mid air. That was unnerving. It was fun, the video music was cheesy, the stills were cool, but it was worth doing at least once.
