Dewey's taken the leap before, I will do it someday.

 

A friend of mine went when he moved to Texas. He said it was the best experience of his life.

 

I got paid to jump when I was in the Army.

 

Yep.

I did my first jump, tandem in St Louis. I was hooked. Man...it is awesome. Came home signed up for AFF (accelerated free fall). You jump by youself with two instructors for a few jumps then you get one instructor until the 7th jump. On the 7th jump you have to pass a few tests and then that's it. As long as you jump jump once a month you won't need an instructor to recertify. You aren't "licensed" yet, but as long as the wind is under 14mph (maybe it was 16) you are allowed to jump. I did it another 10 times by myself. It was a hassel with having an actual work life and I was just meeting my now wife back then. So, it died and went away. LOL But man it fuggin rocks. Standing on that ledge...just staring at the earth. Not the ground, but the earth. It is an amazing event that you at least have to try tandem.

I have a helmet and altimeter if you want to borrow them. Actually they make you use their helmets so they can identify "students" in the air.

 

I'm not so sure I want some guy strapped to my back, perhaps they have some large breasted blonde swedish intructors somewhere....if ayone finds one, send me the link!

my gf's done it recently. she said it was sooo much fun. she paid to have a video taken of her the whole day. it's pretty awesome to watch. we're gonna do it again pretty soon. probably when the weather gets warmer.

 

I got my wife (then gf) to do it and get video'ed. It was on VHS! LMAO

 

I've done it twice. Man, what a rush! Any of you considering jumping, DO IT!!!

 

+1 on wanting to jump out of a perfectly good air craft! My neighbor did it with his wife. The video and pictures were hilarious. The look on their faces were priceless. How about a PTN GTG jump?
