oh i agree...the way i typed that came out wrong. i meant i did bungee jumping, now its time to do something that's more of a rush and more intense. i have no doubt after i skydive, ill think of bungee jumping as nothing

 

[not a sneak]

I went skydiving, and its very exhilarating. Did mine in my hometown of Vegas $150 for the jump and $100 for the vid/pics. One of the greatest experiences in my life.

He said theoretically, I could have gone on my own today. I guess the place I went has no limits...he recommended 1 jump tho. I don't know who would be stupid enough to do it on their own the first time.

uh.. what?

you need to have an AFF (accelerated free fall) license to jump solo. this requires that you complete levels 1-7 which is a process of jumping tandem to jumping solo.

i've been saving up for my license for a while, it ranges between 1,000-1,500 bucks to get it - i've jumped 5 times.

By "solo" I don't literally mean alone....I meant not as a tandem.

They "instruct you" to jump out alone....but a guy jumps WITH you. Either way I'd feel like i'm jumping by my own damn self

you're right about the rollercoasters being totally different but wrong about feeling like you're flying. there is not one shred of a doubt that you are plummeting straight downward at a high rate of speed. i don't understand why people say this. 

With skydiving you don't really experience g-forces associated with roller coasters because of the position of your body.....it feels like a bunch of air hitting you and keeping you up, as you hover in mid air

i loved it but it didn't feel like flying nor hovering to me. the second time i went we tumbled out the plane - that was dope as hell. i wanna go again now. this whole week we got high wind warnings though 

 

[damnthosejs]

sorry i dont really read all the posts

I plan to go again this summer but I'm really thinking of just getting the license. If money wasn't an issue at the moment I'd be at Skydive Toronto right now.

btw, looking at the prices you guys pay there, I paid a hefty sum for mine

  but whatever, it's an experience of a lifetime.

Lemme put it this way, skydiving is NOT like a free fall. The first minute or so when you jump out is when you're at the mercy of gravity

.....then you get in position, and things kinda slow down from them.



IMO the most terrifying part was that initial leap out of the plane.....I thought I was gonna die for sure. I remember thinking how ******ed this is and why anybody would wanna do it

depends on how you really think...

for me, sky diving is easier than that because you don't have any sense on how far off the ground you are.

well at least that's how I see it.

Nah, I don't perpetuate the stereotype that black people are cowardly

....my boy and i who jumped today are black (African).

We know God Forbid isn't death metal.... he just gave an example of a metal band with black people in it.


Suffocation is

tho
