here's the thing. If you KNOW that you want to jump, I may be arranging a group to go skydiving. Yes, it can be very scary. Yes, you may die. Yes, you have to pay for it. Yes, it will be the greatest thrill, the greatest high, the greatest experience you will ever feel. It is priceless. I will be planninng this for the end of the spring, maybe in the begining of the summer. I can honestly say, that it is the most thrilling and meaningfull experience I have ever lived. If you are interested, PM me.
I'm organizing a group of people from work, they will probably perform Tandem jumps (double harness'). The more people jump, the cheaper it will be. I should be getting my solo certificate this month, I already have 18 jumps under my belt, and up to 28 secs of freefall time in one jump. I will be attending the Dropzone this saturday to get to know everyone at this new location, and hopefully performing my first new jump of the season.
Just as an update, I just took a refresher course since I haven't jumped in a few months. I will be performing my 19th jump sometime this month, and I will be shooting for my solo license before the end of the summer... I think everybody should come and jump. It's exilarating!! (s'p??) Anyhow, everybody likes pictures!!! http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sundowntoosoon/album?.dir=c98d&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos
Is anyone still interested?? I've performed my 21st jump last weekend. I jumped from 11 000ft. About 50secs of freefall, and about 60secs of canopy ride. I practiced backlloops during freefall. It was my first time trying those, so I wasn't completely successful, but I flew stable between attemps. Is was pretty crazy. At one point I was lying straight, looking up at the sky, and the funny thing is that I never really been taught that before. I felt a little disoriented afterwards, I think it was because I never achieved that kind of speed before (est 150mph??), or the change in direction. When flying I couldn't tell which way was which at times. I can't wait to go again. Pm me. Later
