So did you put your vote as F that Im a *****??

Maybe if you get on the plane, then in the air, you'll get scared, therefor wanting to get out of the plane. Voila. you can jump and the parachute will bring you to safety........or an Oak tree

Been there done that..... but I would be dipped in Chit if I jump out with some guy strapped to my azz! did the 3500 ft solo hop and pops myself.... but it was expensive.... not only the lift tickets but to get the license and the really good gear..... quite the wallet buster... decided I would rather have an aircraft instead... that is another story though...

I have 15 solo's from 13K feet, invested the time and money(lots of money). Then the fact of an hour drive to wait around to jump sucked ***. If you aren't licensed you can't jump in 14+MPH winds. To get a class A license just would take too much of my time and it seemed like every time I went the damn winds were at 14MPH. It's good stuff though, undescribable feeling. I have my first tandem jump on video. Yes, I had a guy strapped to my ***.

BUT, interesting fact, half of skydivers are actually very afraid of heights. They just happen to like the rush. LOL That's what they told me anyway.LOL

man.. I'd join ya if I were in that louisina area..

I'm here in the carolina area. I did my first tandem jump a few weeks ago. It was the best thing I ever done.

Me and a couple of my buddies are gonna save up 1600 dollars for the ground school and the three jumps and get certified.

Skydiving is the ****!!!!!!


I sware if there was one way I would die.. it would be jump out of the plane without a parachute... fun fun
