TweetAnyone ever been? I got an opportunity to go next week and just wanted to hear some personal experiences. It looks fun as hell, I cant imagine the adrenalin rush you get.

The jump is from 14,000 FT. @ 130-160 MPH.

TweetTHAT FIRST STEP IS THE KILLER! NOW WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO JUMP OUT OF A PERFECTLY GOOD AIRPLANE?

Yeah, it looks insane. I want to do it sooooooooo bad.

TweetIt is a rush.
I've done 3 jumps. I have done the tandem jump from 13,000 feet.
I have also done a static line jump from a C-130 and I 've done a solo jump.
The solo was the best. Just make sure you have the crotch straps in the right place before you jump. The jolt from opening the chute can be kinda hard

TweetJust don't wear a white suit or there's going to be chocolate stains

My dad is a pilot and I was airborne qualified when I was in the Army so I got to hear that from him all the time. I think without a doubt it is one of the biggest rushes there is. I can't think of anything that comes close, even bungee jumping.

TweetBest experience I've had in a long time...we jumped from 17,500ft. 73 seconds of free fall and 4.5 minutes in the canopy for the ride back down to earth. We were tracking, doing flat spins, and barrell rolls once the shute was deployed. The only way you could tell you were moving was the force and sound of the wind blowin' past your face. Looking forward to going MANY more times in the near future.

TweetI'd do it if I could pack my own chute. (Hmm,...that came out kinda funny)

it is a rush like no other!

you will always remember the first jump and when you hit the ground you will feel the rush hit like you have never before.

where might you be jumping?

I am going down here in Bama' about 45. min from where I live.

My appointment is at 1:00 on Sat.

[TestRip7]

TweetI told the guy that set up my appointment that I wanted someone crazy to jump with so that we can do barrel rolls out of the plane and all the other cool shiot that they do.

I'm so fired up I could hardly sleep last night. I had my ceiling fan on high and it was blowing in my face and woke up from having a dream about skydiving. LOL

TweetYou have a hard enough time getting in a plane that works fine. You think I'm going to jump out of one at 14,000 feet?!?! Phuque dat

[TestRip7]

TweetWell Sat. I bucked up and went for the first time. It was an absolutely incredible experience. I will def. be doing it again. We jumped from 14,500 FT. and free fell for about 65 seconds. Under canopy it took us about 7 minutes to reach the ground. By far the biggest rush that I have ever gotten from anything in my entire life.

Did you shit yourself? I know if it were me, there would be a trail of brown liquid following me to the ground. People watching below think I was one of those entertainers with a brown smoke pack on my back.
