So my wife got me a Sky Diving gift Certificate for xmas.. I am really pumped about it. Was curious if any of you guys have done it? So I guess the first couple times you do it you have to go tandem? Thats really gaysauce IMO. I don't want some manly man strapped to my backside.. and what about after the chute opens and your floating around up there for like 5 mins. It's going to be very awkward. What do you say? "Oh its so magical up here, and beautiful" I wonder if they have females ?? that would be better.
I'm thinking my wife either really loves me and knows that I have always wanted to do this, or she is cashing in on my half million dollar life insurance ;)
-
some of my buddies did it tandem. he said it was cool as hell and being strapped to another person wasnt as bad as it seemed. i think in order to go alone it costs alot more money and you have to take training classes.
-
hotdog in the bun mean anything to you? :P
-
A buddy of mine has been trying to go for a while, but he said its a pain in the ass to schedule a day where the weather dosent suck. Its always windy or raining
-
guy i work with does it said it took him 3 times to enjoy it. The first few times he kinda went into a panic but then he was a tag along and didi it for the team.
-
Odd I just watched a video this afternoon with my Buddies GF when she went. Im sure Ill go sometime in 2010

fuck jumping out of a perfectly good plane. Not happening for me. :-X

I have a boner for airplanes.

Shits fun as fuck. I did it on my 21st bday about 9 years ago. Just tell them u want to do some spins after the chute is pulled. Fuck me, talk about some g-forces. When u first jump out it feels like your stomic is in your throte. After that it just is kinda windy and loud. Tell them u want to go into a dive. I knew my instructors pretty well so we went to 14k insteand of 12k, and got a little longer freefall. Do it man, its fun as fuck!

My uncle was into skydiving, until his parachute got tangled. I miss Uncle Bob... :'( :'(
J/k Actually an old guy I worked with went skydiving a CRAZY amount of times. I think he said over 30 years, he went ~2800 times (he knew the exact number off the top of his head!) - it averaged out to ~2 times per week. He was 60 or so, and still doing it... :evil:

I'm with you on that.

When I think about sky diving I'm reminded of this:

I roomed with a guy who was a jump master a decade ago. He always talked about it - had his knee crushed by an IMCA car two years earlier and was just back to the point he could do it again.
I never went because I am a pussy about heights.
-
I've always wanted to. My fucking uncle is an instuctor, and has logged a little over 2000 civilian jumps, not counting the 6 years he jumped in the Army. My dad jumped or 4 years for the army, but hasnt in probably 5 years. I just can't afford another hobby right now.

Wifebody with her new man??? Im thinkin Arbys

I went to a sky diving place with a few friends and lost my deposit because apparently they don't want you to do it drunk. How the fuck else am I expected to do anything. Retarded.
-
I've gone before.
You don't have to go tandem the first time, but I suggest it. By going tandem you can see what it feels like without having to do any work or focus on anything important.
Once the chute opens the ride isn't over. You see your feet, then the ground 4 to 5 thousand feet away. The dude I was strapped to told me he was gonna loosen my harness for comfort at this point... I didn't really think about it until he started and I dropped like half an inch. I freaked a little n started reaching over my shoulders to grab on to him...
but yeah the floating is a pretty fun ride, ask them to do some j turns n spins after the chute is open n you won't have to worry about any dumb conversation...

I have a boner for tranny porn.

i'd love to skydive, but like JD i'm a little bitch when it comes to heights.
Same here.
Although for some odd reason, I think i could handle it more than standing at the edge of cliff or talll building.
-
i dont know about over there, but here, i had to do 5 tandem jumps tandem, then two more with the instructor "beside" me, from the 8th jump i could do it myself
i just got to the 7nth jump
-
tandem don't matter. its kinda better the first few times anyway cuz if you fuck something up...well you're dead.
-
I try to go as much as I can, its one of the few things I don't think anyone should miss out on in life.
-
Well I'm defiantly pumped, they have a 10k and 12k, the wife bought me the 12k.. So how long of free fall is that? and I was reading through there little flier and I guess you gotta go like 5 times in order for you to go by yourself. I mean, I guess I'd rather go tandem then flying into some power lines by myself.

For tandem, 12k should net your around 45 seconds of freefall.
-
Yeah, fuck the gay rules in this one. You're fucken skydiving!!
Just for your sake, I took the cesna 172 up to 14k ft over Washington state last night and cut the engines. Yeah, it has wings, but you still should be safe as fuck with whatever you do. Just make sure to get the dudes last name before you go. haha.

-

Hopefully less than 11.5k.... :evil:
-

Went last year and loved it! I went tandem for the first jump I gotta go back and take the class to jump alone. I'm nervous about heights and when the instructor made me lean out of the plane with him to check to make sure we were over the drop zone I got nervous. The jump was bad ass never had such a rush in my life.
-
So who has went high? I think I would have to be to be mellow enough. Otherwise I would bitch out when I got to the point when it was time to go out the door.
-
I'd be too paranoid to jump if I was high.
-
I have never jumped high, wouldn't want to, it would take some of the edge off. You will feel high after you land though, its a pretty intense experience the first time around.
-
I'd rather be a little on the drunk side than stoned.
-
I did it and was strapped to another dude. The only part I didn't like was the 30 minute ride up in the tin can before we jumped, the terrifying thoughts that went through my head lol, but once we jumped it was an amazing feeling. You will have fun for sure!
-
once we jumped it was an amazing feeling
One of the fluffy NW crew experiencing weightlessness is amazing to anyone.
-
It's a blast to say the least. There is also another way to do it can't remember what it's called but basically two guys jump with you at the same time and they pull your chute for you. It can be rough though your first time because landing is not always as soft or as easy as they show on tv.

I would expect nothing better from you homos

i'd be up for skydiving. my aunt did it a few years back. my wife also did a tandem jump off the side of a mountain in turkey years before we met. she said the g forces almost made her puke.
personally, i'd do it in a second. in highschool i loved jumping off high cliffs into water at the local quarry. just the feeling of being in the air is cool imo. same deal with big air when i go snowboarding... but for me the most exciting thing i think would be base jumping. when you are really high jumping out of a plane, there isn't as much a rush because you don't have a good a sense as to how close you actually are to the ground. base jumping certainly gives you that. :evil:
-
I was strapped behind the other dude. It was an amazing feeling.

Skydiving can have the falling fast effect if you look at the horizon, looking at the ground is dangerous unless you are paying close attention to your height, its not too uncommon for people to under estimate how close they are to the earth (should we have another depth perception debate!?)
Base jumping I agree would be ultimate, I have quite a few more jumps to do from a plane before I am certified for that though, not that I care too much about certs :D

What exactly happened there?
Where is the dude in purple and black?
-
the guy with the camera is the instructor... he jumped with another guy, after floating for a bit they spun into each other and the instance his head impacted into the other guys ribs, his neck snapped. he is now a quadriplegic which is why you see his legs flapping loosely on cam as he plummets to the ground

so the instructor is the quadriplegic?
if so how did he get his chute open?
