Cool Skydiving Video
that is so awesome! i've been toying with the thought of parachuting. but i'm curious...for those who's already experienced it...do you feel like you're falling like when you go down a roller coaster, or more of a floating sensation?
It feels kindof like floating. You might experience a roller coaster-like dropping sensation right when you leave the plane but it doesn't last long. Then you feel like you're floating or being held up by a very strong wind (125 mph). Once you learn how, you can fly all around; front, back, sides, upside-down, sitting, standing, head down. You can fly over to some of your buddies in the air and build some formations. You can increase or decrease your vertical and horizontal speed. It's great! My favorite part is leaving the plane last on a large formation jump, going into a high-speed dive to get down to the formation, then flaring out and slowing down to match the formation's fall rate at the last moment, all while flying over to them horizontally. Fly in, take your grips on the formation, break the formation and do some more. My favorite jumps are the ones where I leave the plane last, but dock on the formation first, second, or third; blowing past others who left the plane before me. What a rush!
