    Skydiving

    Soo has anyone ever done this before. I'm going Skydiving with a group of people April 8th. I'm scares an most people have chicken out but it looks like Ima have at least 10 people going. It's going to be a tandom jump (experienced diver strapped to you). It's also $100 for a 10,000ft jump and $200 for a 18,000ft jump. Ima do the $200 one. So any experiences?

    Man, I've been trying to talk some of my friends into doing it, but I can't convince anyone to do it with me.. It's really not that expensive.

    I know it would probably scare the **** out of me, but I want to "man up" and do it.. seems like it could be a lot of fun.

      Never saw the point of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. I went to jump school in the army but that's not really skydiving, scary still the same though.

        Re: Skydiving

        I felt that way for a while, but after a few of my co workers, who were in medical school, came back from doing it and talked about how fun it was, I've been sold on wanting to do it..

          Chase if you were around here I would definitely go Skydiving with you. I just want the to experience things that not many others do. Something I can cross off the bucket list. It looks like fun but trust me I'm nervous.

            I'd rather have a stampede of walkers coming after me than do that...
            Hope you have a great time man and share picks if you get any!!

              Oh man I want to go so badly. They actually do assisted dives out here in Colorado where you aren't strapped to anyone. You jump with two coaches and they steady you then let you freefall by yourself for about a minute, I think.

              I'm going to try to do it this summer, and hopefully get my license at some point in my life.

                  I've always wanted to try, but I'm already a wussy with roller coasters, so I highly doubt I could actually even do this.

                    Re: Skydiving

                    I posted the idea to facebook, since my closest friends refused, and I've got a few takers. I don't take a few of them seriously, but my ex boss and a guy I used to work with both said they were down and I believe them, completely... I may look into the pricing and see what's up with that and see about scheduling a date to do it, in the near future..

                      Re: Skydiving

                      My son did it a couple of years ago, finally cashing in on his 18th birthday present. This is one of the things I wanted him to do FOR me..... cuz ain't no chance. The video they did was pretty crappy and drawn out, so I edited and reset to Disco Science (I thought it was pretty cool that his jump instructor looked like Cole Hamels).

                        Yea I'm paying extra to have them video tape the whole thing too. I use to be scared of roller coaster. Then I got on a few an it was nothing. I'm actually very afraid of heights. I don't even like standing near the side of a balcony 5 stories or higher. This is gonna be very interesting.

                          The place I've been looking at, you can get the video package and the 13,000 ft tandum jump for under $300...

                          The 18,000 ft jump alone costs $300....

                          They do give group discounts, though..

                            I'm scared of heights and roller coaster so I would never have the guts to do it, but man, it looks fun!

                              For those who have done it, do you have that feeling in your stomach the entire time while you are free falling? I have no fear of heights at all and have always wanted to do it, but the first big drops on roller coasters always get to me.
