skydiving?
anyone here skydive? i went for a tandem jump a weekend ago and it was amazing. i work at an indoor skydiving facility iflysfbay.com
when i can afford it, im would like to get qualified, but the i can only afford one xpensive hobby at the moment, and motorcycles is it...
i had a lot of fun with my jump went with 4 others that i know, myself and 3 others went tandom and my 4th friend was the tandom instuctor for one of my friends. it was great. the best part was the moment when you first jump outa the plane, that split sec untill you get up to speed when it feels like you are actually falling. the free fall was great, just like in the wind tunnel at my work but we were going at a much slower wind speed, and it was soo much quiter outside. the canpoy ride was okay, but when the guy really turned us the pengilum effect really made some G's but it was a cool feeling when he stalled it. the landing was buttery smooth, some other instructors throughout the day landed on there *** but my freinds and mine were better instuctors and we landed suer smooth.
any way if you guys are debating the 100 bucks or so to do it.... id say go for itt.

I fly for business. I added up my flights to somewhere around 630. As long as the takeoffs equal the landings that's fine I got thinking however, there was that time when I left the airplane behind.
that ****e was fun but im not sure that im gonna do it any time soon. im workin on gettin this bike payed off along with the fact that i have a bunch of other crap that i wanna go out and try first.
Two weeks after I jumped my jump master made a hole in the ground and is now forever in a hole in the ground. He left two very young daughters without a father. No more jumping for me.
i think its funny how im so terrified at jumping out of a plane because of the fact that it MAY be fatal (something like 20-30 deaths a year in the US?), yet i hop on my bike every single day, were the chances of me dying (either by my own mistakes or someone elses) are MUCH higher [&:]
