There is a place about ten minutes away from my house. I see them in the sky all the time. I too would like to try it! But I thought it was pretty expensive.

Never been, but I would definitely like to go. I've been thinking about it, but I don't have the financial means for it yet. If you have the money and it's only 10 minutes away, I say go for it.

I've been 2 times. There's really nothing like it. Lots of fun for like 5 minutes.

I used to work as a videographer for a dropzone in Texas and ive got about 600 jumps. I highly recommend it and when you go ALWAYS get video of your first jump.

i have always wanted to go, but i know id be a baby about it when im hanging out of a plane at whatever altitude they go from. i have heard once you get out though, it doesnt feel like you are falling, but floating since you dont really have acute depth perception at that height....at least not until you get closer to earth. i was also under the impression it was way more than $180.
