Wow, have fun. As much as I would love to try that, there is NO WAY I cold jump from a moving object 2000+ feet (or whatever) above the ground. ****, I get dizzy looking over a balcony
three floors up.
Yeah, I know, that's pathetic.

yeah, its a rush. I'm scared of height, but a skydiving instructor that i know, convinced me into doing it. It was great. You have to sit in a class for about 6hours before the jump. You are straped to an instructor and use a parachute for two. You free fall from 11,000' and the chute opens and you have a about 5 minutes of slights. There are other classes and requirements if you want to jump solo.

yeah, i really want to do the Tandem jump rather than the static line. I think its sweet to jump off at 11 -14000 feet.

Ha ha...I've been bungee jumping...it was truly an experience, did it at the beach back in Jamaica!

I've thought alot about skydiving...but right now the only diving I'm concentrating on is scuba. Now, that's fun.

I haven't yet but would LOVE to, I have always had a fascination for flying. I think it would be the next best thing, One day! I will. Good luck, let us know how it goes. I’m so jealous.

When I lifeguarded in Florida we had 2 Jet Skis...the fawking intake kept getting clogged and ppl were getting ditched left and right, so we opted for a boston whaler and a freaking ski boat. Now, the ski boat was my baby man...that thing was a monster...the first time I went out by myself, I about killed myself!! Now, my buddy back home has the honda jet ski with the built in turbo...talk about an adrenaline rush!!!!!!!

There was a B.A.S.E. jumper on leno last night, it was pretty sweet. In one thing he had a set of wings on his back, jumped out of the plane at some rediculous height and made it across the 22 mile english channel. I'd like to try something like skydiving sometime, seems dangerous but too fun to pass up, Heights dont scare me tooo much.
