Hey,

Anyone else here ever do it? I'm going for my first time on Sunday, super excited. I've heard so many great things about it.

Anyways. Lets hope the parachute opens!

i skydove when i was 18 with a bunch of buddys. its really fun. really really fun. tho technically yer first time isnt skydiving per say. its parachuting basically. your rip line is attached to the wing of the plane.when u jump and get about 10 ft away your parachute opens. it is fun tho when yer hanging form a wing of a air plane getting ready to jump tho.
good luck!

Yea it is basically just parachuting, but well I'll have about 5-8 seconds of drop time before my parachute catches me. I'm planning on jumping twice.

I think it is probably going to be a regular thing for me and a few buddy's. 2 are completely hooked, and well I know I'm going to be the same way. I'm goign to try and jump atleast once a month, and bring someone new each time.

I'm not sure, but your course and 1 jump is 220. Well worth it, not to mention you can camp out for free of charge (just have to not be super rowdy)
