Hi, I have read around on this board for a VERY long time thinking about going skydiving, and I finally went this past weekend with a friend. We had a very incredible time, unlike anything i have ever experienced. We had to wait out the weather for a bit, but the 15 or so other people who were there were working or hanging around the place were very friendly and cool to be around. Definitely a great time and I am ready to go again!
We went tandem, and I wasn't real nervous until we were around the altitude to get ready to jump out. The door being opened that high in the air scared me pretty good. I knew I wanted to go skydiving for a while, but now was go time and I thought I was nuts. When we climbed out I also felt that the wind was going to knock me off the step I was on and into the tail of the plane. But we finally jumped and it was the greatest thing I have ever experienced in my life. The free fall was an awesome feeling, and I cannot wait to go again...and hopefully again, and again, and so on at some point down the road. I now know why people would get hooked on the sport!!
