i went once several years ago, and then my dad found out, and he got incredibly pissed off

goin again in april tho

 

is there a website i can check out for sky diving programs? im in socal, thnx

is it more fun if you go solo compared to by yourself? i figure if something goes wrong, ill feel better knowing im not alone.

 

Join the army and go to airborne school, they'll teach u for free...

 

I'm getting ready to book a date for my first tandem. I read that you need to jump like 15 times before you get certified. That's a lot of time and money. I'm gonna go do my tandem, and see where things go from there. I want to base jump later in life, so I'd probably wanna get certified.

Congrats on finishing your course alive

 

But that's a different type of skydiving..."static line" right?

 

yeah some schools will also teach you static line which i think is a waste personally....

it all depends on how good you are some schools say 15 some are 7

the one i go to says 7 classes cuaes we jump from 15k and not 10k like most places so we have twice the amount of freefall time...

 

Amazing .. that's one way to live a life!

 

perris skydiving uses electronic devices instead of actual static lines. I could be wrong, but aren't tradition static lines physically connected to the plane?

 

how can you die? even if you manage to screw up and forget to pull the chute, an emergency one will deploy... just make sure you dont release your chute and get the crap all twisted... thats what my physics teacher said...

 

Yeah its static line and its from like 1200 ft... You could go on to HALO school which is freefall from extremely high altitudes.
