Cool, I always wanted to try a tandem..one day. Nice pic too, bet it took half the day to wipe the grin off your face.

And you know what they say, you ain't sky dived till you have gone solo, then its up to you whether you pull the shoot or not.

Lmao@effervescence hahaaaa

you actually can pull in tandem, and be in total control of the canopy flight, its just that having an instructor makes things much safer.

have you gone since?

Mescalito · 06-07-2008, 05:44 PM

Is it worth 100$ for a blur? I did a bungee jump before back in Holland and it was fun.. for like five minutes. Not worth the money.. but worth doing once I guess.

what?

it's about $350 here!

but you get a video too, with music added of the entire experience, plus training course.

It's more than just a blur...quite the experience. Yes, it would be worth it. I don't know how many times it would take before it lost it's fun.

There's a minute of free fall followed by a good 5 minutes under canopy. Under the canopy is almost more fun than free fall. Almost.

of course its worth it, why do you think there are skydivers with thousands of jumps? because it gets old?

and skydiving is very diferent from bungee jumping, in skydiving you reach 120mph (more if you fall headfirst) and you don feel you´re falling, its more like flying.

I can see myself tiring of bungee jumping (done it five times), but never of skydiving, the reason I quit was because I had an accident and I felt like shit about my family having to go through sufering because of my selfishness.
