Nice, I got the video package for mine. They sent a lot of pics taken from the video but none of them are very good

Omg!!! I did it a couple months ago!!! It was so scary during the drop but so exhilarating! I'm going to do it again. Unfortunately it's like a 90 min drive for me but I'm thinking of taking the classes and doing it as a hobby. It was a top 10 experience for me. Hbu?

I thought it was really fun, the ride up in the plane was scary imo but as soon as we were falling it was all adrenaline. Crazy feeling just falling that long. It's like an hour away from me, and $270 so it isn't something I can see myself doing all the time. I would do it again though. They offer a class to teach you to go solo but its $2500, and that + parachute and shit would all end up being really expensive I think. Would be an awesome hobby to have if it was a little more affordable (for me).

The fact that they make you go tandem not once but multiple times has completely killed my interest.
I'm not going to pay to get buttfricked by some burnout when there are millions who will do it for free.

My dude was pretty cool w/ it, he didnt strap me in tightly until we were about to jump. But yeah they make you do a lot of shit before you can go solo.

It's an exhausting list of prerequisites given that the end goal is to wingsuit myself into the face of a medium size hill

Wingsuit would be fun as frick I bet but I'd never do it like this, only out of a plane. Base jumping in general is wild. They probably want to make sure you won't just pass out or something jumping which is why they do the tandem, but the costs would definitely add up

I'm going to try in next year once it starts getting warm again. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it's not worth it.

British(?) planes in WWII would come back with a ton of bulletholes in certain spots, so they started reinforcing those parts not realizing that the planes that WEREN'T coming back were getting shot elsewhere.

Only the planes that didn't crash made it back for analysis

Glad you enjoyed it! The time I went there was spotty cloud cover and we ended up falling through a cloud.
Neat as heck being in free fall while not being able to see anything. Weirdest of all was having the sensation of water going up my nose like when you jump into a pool.
