Success Stories
Did it in Lodi, CA. Been there, done that - not doing it again. Went up in an old 1952 plane (and I think the pilot was just as old). Figured it was safer jumping out than landing in it. Instructors were nice. Did it tandum, so they "roll" you out. Free fall for 60 seconds. Prayed the shoot opened. Glad I did it, especially since I'm afraid of hights.
I went skydiving by myself down in Florida, but all of the staff there went out of their way to make me feel special and give me my best 1st jump. I had 2 other skydivers jump with me: one strapped to my back and then one filming my experience. They both kept making me laugh and kept me calm through the entire climb up to 18,000 ft in the air! Then, to make it the most memorable 1st jump possible, my instructor, Cris, helped me to FLIP out of the plane as well as guide the parachute to our landing. I absolutely plan on jumping again!
I bought myself a skydiving ticket for my 24th birthday!.. 10'000 ft tandem jump landing on the beach down south in Busselton, Western Australia through Southern Skydivers; Instructors name was Glenn and he was fun,knowledgeable and professional...including the rest of their wonderful team! This was a truly mind blowing experience and am making sure this becomes atleast a yearly event!
This world continues to amaze me
Ever since I was a kid I was a thrill seeker always looking for the next best thing to challenge myself. Obviously skydiving is something challenging that should be on everyone's bucket list (or life list as I prefer to call it...bucket list sounds so morbid) thus it was at the top of my list.
When I was in Florida on a Cross-country USA Roadtrip with my mates, I decided to sign up for a spontaneous skydive. There I was at the skydiving place the next day getting ready to jump out of an airplane at 18,000 ft and I was not nervous one bit. Actually I thought the whole experience was bit lame. It's not that I didn't enjoy it, but it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I was hoping to get the same adrenaline rush that you get from bungee jumping or riding on a rollercoaster - you know, that feeling of having your heart in your throat - but it wasn't like that at all. It's hard to explain the feeling but you feel weightless in a way. You are moving so fast but the air hits you really hard that it feels like you are just floating in one space. Which probably would have been cool is I wasn't wearing shorts and my harness wasn't chafing my thighs...so maybe that was the bigger problem.
Either way, I checked this bad boy off my bucket list...and would I do it again? Yeah I probably would...but I would NOT wear shorts.
