Amanduh 0 #1152 February 25, 2005 Will you, Chris? Na...just the thought of standing there...still...completely QUIET...THAT intimidates me the most about it. That empty feeling when you first jump...OHHHHHH I seroiusly am getting the heeby geebies just thinking about it! I will do one when I'm ready! I will go for the helicopter though LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #1153 February 25, 2005 QuoteI will go for the helicopter though LOL LMAO, the only difference is the amount of noise! My helicopter jumps and balloon jump were done from about the same altitude. I was a little nervous about climbing up on the edge of the basket and someone even teased me saying, "what do you think is going to happen? You gonna fall off?" As long as you have a big, open area to land in I think you should go for it, especially if Chris is going to go with you. He can do a nice, easy landing pattern for you and you can follow him down (can't you Chris? )She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanduh 0 #1154 February 25, 2005 THat's what it is though..the LACK of NOISE!! I know it sounds weird..but I cannot help it!!

Like the sound of my heartbeat racing in my ear! FYI: It's cool to jump last in the balloon and let a 2-4 way go in front of you. With that much weight leaving, you shoot like a rocket. Watching the nylon distort and climbing 3000' a min without an engine ROCKS! Blue, I'm looking forward to meeting you also! Along with a few others I havn't met yet!

Yup, what is cool is when you are both on the same edge of the basket facing each other, the inner person holds onto nothing but the outer person and the outer person is leaning way out only being held by their arms.
