Anyone else here on TS skydive?


I'm in the red/white/gray/black

 

I've always wanted to, can't find anyone to go with though.

 

I'm not near Massachusetts, but if you're ever around Philadelphia (maybe even the Poconos) and seriously want to go, I'm in!

 

Dude, why are you wearing a backpack?

 

I've done it once (which doesn't make me a skydiver of course), but I loved it and want to do it again. If I ever find the free time I would consider doing it enough to get certified as I think it is fantastic. I have a video of my first skydive. Maybe I will post it later.

 

Haha I figured the extra weight would make me go faster.

Nice. Here's some motivation! Go get your license!

YouTube - 6-way Hybrid skydive

 

Watching those definitely makes me want to go do it. I might think about doing it next summer. How long does it take to get certified?

 

You need a minimum of 25 skydives to get your A license. Once you have your A license, you can jump with other licensed skydivers.

You'll probably do 10 or so skydives with an instructor, and the rest will be jumps by yourself. Use those to really work hard on getting very stable and turning well. Also, use those to begin exploring the limits of your canopy.

Lots of good info here:

Cool, thanks for the info!

 

Ah, makes sense

to the TEAM. Those are some legit vids. Nice to see you reppin AWE/Audi over 10000 feet.
