I wanna go sooo bad but I heard that you have to log a bunch of tandum jumps before they let you go solo. tandum looks like it wouldnt be nearly as fun

yeah my friend doug did it up here in vt. i guess it ran him like $240 or something, but that included the $60 they charged him to have someone else jump and take pictures...but i guess when you're spending that much money you might as well cough up the dough to get something to remember it by. too bad he's 6'6' and the guy he tandem jumped w/was like 5'7' or something.

I think I'd rather go tandom for the first time. Apparently you can't even tell he's there (makes sense considering you're falling to the earth at 300 km/h.) I tried to go a few times, but I either couldn't get the funds when my friends were going, or I couldn't get a ride when I had the funds.

thats awsome. my mom wont let me go yet but as soon as i turn 18 im going to start doing it. my brother is a pilot too so i can defenitly get some jumps in as soon as i get enough hours to jump solo. but i have to wait two more years so it sucks

Sky diving sounds awesome but the prices are way to steep for me, plus i dont even know of any places local that do it, but it seems pretty cool

Wow...this is weird....I was just thinking about this a few days ago. Yo is there a certain age you have to be?? I know one of them around here you have to be 18..no matter what you're parents say...man thats fucking wack. I hope they aren't all like that.

Same with the closest one to me. You gotta be 18, or you don't jump. No way around it.

Out here you have to be 16 which I spose is good. I don't think I could ever do it! It would be a rush though.

I went twice and it was amazing. We had guys take pics and everything. It was the greatest feeling ever. I went solo so they made me take a class for 4 days before I went but they let me keep the parachute, it was so chill!
