How many jumps have you made? How many before your first freefall? I jumped once 15 years ago it was absolutely mind blowing I can still remember it vividly. The place I went to used a type of teathered jump for first timers, you climbed out onto the wing strut , the instructor tossed your drag chute out the door and away you went.A couple of seconds of free fall on your first jump! The plan was to make 10 of those jumps before you were allowed to free fall. I was planning on continuing until my wife saw the video!:shock: :shock:

Turns out it was probably a good thing, that jump school had 4 deaths in the next 5 years and are now closed.:-o :lol:

first jump was a tandem and second was my first aff...basically ya jump out and fall for 10k feet with two instructors basically holding onto you...ive done about 36 jumps...ya only need to pass seven levels (so if your good enough you can pass it in seven jumps, I did it in 7, my friend jusin in 8, and our friend chris in 11)

My 5th jump I broke some bones. The good part is that it kept me out of Viet Nam.:D That was in 1970. I have not jumped since.
