First time sky diving

[biggins4u]

My brother got us booked for a jump and this will be my first time
Cant wait, and would like some input.. Whats beter cable pull or tandom??
I heard tandom, you get more of a free fall??

The 1st jump is the easiest, 2nd is much harder

Pay the extra to jump as high as you can....more time to sort out problem you may have

Tandem is gay IMO

There is no sensation on falling until you get close to the ground.

After your are open pull the both vents all the way down and you can get the sensation of falling as your chutes begins to collapse Or just pull one all the way down for horizontal spinning

You will sign you name more then when you bought your house.

Thanks, since this my first time they only allow 5000 ft from what I was told? But I will double check with my bro. would like 10,000.. Im shure you have to sign you life away... and the class is a few hours long..

Thats funny right there..

A friend of mine compared it to being sucked onto a giant vacume cleaner..Said to pay attention during the instructions on landing, (he didn't).

I did a tandem jump a couple of years ago. It felt kind of ghey having a guy strapped to your back, but I wanted to experience the freefall. The freefall was ok, but I think I enjoyed it more after the canopy was open and we were just floating down. Much more peaceful. A few years later I did a tandem paraglide down in San Diego. We took off from a cliff over the ocean and flew up and down the coast for about a half hour. I think next time I'm in SD I will do a tandem hang glide.

The landing is equal to jumping off a milk crate. My jumpmaster jumped in flops.

tandems are for people who don't have the balls to get in the door themselves....







...with all due respect of course.
