    Twice, it's a blast. Rips all your more petty concerns away with sheer awe.

    Have fun! ;)

    No point in debating I suppose. Logic doesn't really apply to jumping out of planes, ramble.

    But it's safe. I suspect this is what's going to happen. I'm going to be acting really tough all the way there. Then when the plane takes off, I'm going to cry and wail at my 18 year old cousin.

    "Jenny, save me!" :)

    Yes, it's a blast Lode. Hopefully you'll have a lady striped to ya even not the tandems aren't that bad might land on your ass tho. How much is it costing you to jump, 120 where I went (Skydive Houston).

    Awesome guys.

    Yeah, I shopped around here. Cheapest I could find was $200. I kinda thought it was steep. But I'll manage. Skydive Dallas is the place.

    I'm sorta doing it for the just coolness factor, but if it really can rip all my petty concerns away, it sounds freaking religious. I'm stoked.

    That's badass.

    I would love to do it someday.

    It's something that I'd probably want to do on acid though.

    I would love to go tandem skydiving someday! That, and bungee jumping and paintballing.

    All my mates are wimps who dont want to get hurt, so it's hard trying to convince people to come with me.
