1. Set the way-back machine to around 1994 when I was interested in flying not skydiving I once heard it was $250 for ground school and $100/jump.
FF to 2010 while I was watching the featurette on the Point Break DVD about Patrick Swayze skydiving. I decided to look the cost up to see the effects of inflation over 15+ years. At that time I had ABSOLUTELY no intention of skydiving. The thought never crossed my mind. Expecting to find $400+ when I saw $165 I decided what the hell I'll go for it.
2. From mikec717 on YouTube; "Nothing like the sick feeling in your stomach the first time they pop that door open!"
3. No real free-fall on static line. Initially you feel like you're floating for about 3 seconds.
4. Way too surreal I spent the next day and a half saying "I don't believe I F@#king did that"
5. It gets into your blood. It gets into your blood.
As soon as you're legal. Don't end up like a lot of people. Dead at 30 but not put into the ground 'till 85. It ain't like you can call TIME-OUT and just stroll on back to manifest and ask for a refund if you don't like the way things are goin' up there. Dude.
