What do you want to do?

Here are a few pics of some women skydivers at Skydive Sebastian. They were at a "camp," training together for an upcoming world record attempt. (It will involve the largest number of women skydivers in a head-down formation, I believe.)

I hope this kind of picture gets your heart racing with excitement. Keep in mind that although this stuff may look easy, it takes a long time working up to it to be able to freefall in a head-down position like this. (Not to mention the time it takes to be able to get out that door without hesitating, for most people!)

Think you have what it takes?

I want to be rich
No.... I want to travel through Europe ( I did it once but I would love to do it again w/ someone I love to share the amazing experince)

 

I too have never been to the ocean and would love to and hopefully will someday..

But id have to say soapbox racing

 

i can't imagine jumping out of a fuckin plane with nothing but a small backpack on your back. my stomach flips on small rollercoasters and even when i see great heights on tv. i cant imagine free falling for that long- it seems like your stomach would just be ripped out of your mouth. I bet its the ultimate rush though...

 

I know, in my case the whole living-on-an-island thing disorts your view - I can't even imagine never having seen the ocean.

for all the people that haven't - come over here (NZ). According the recent figures, 98% of us live within 40 mins drive from the ocean.

 

You're right, it surely is the ultimate rush.

But you're mistaken about the stomach-ripped-out-of-your-mouth thing. That's a common misconception. Yes, you do feel a kind of stomach flip when you first leave the plane -- that's just the acceleration as you begin falling. But you reach terminal velocity inside of about 10 seconds, and from then on you feel like you're just riding on a cushion of air. You don't feel the "falling" sensation the whole way through the freefall. It's an equilibrium.

It's a fact that I no longer even feel the initial falling. I kind of miss it, to tell the truth. You get a rush from it the first bunch of times you jump, but now after 162 jumps I really don't notice that acceleration. It feels almost as though I am right into the freefall as soon as I'm out the door.

Don't get me wrong, the skydive is still a load of fun!

You really should try it -- once you turn 18. It's really rare that any dropzone will let someone under 18 do a skydive (although I know a couple where the husband took their 9-year-old son on a tandem).


Everyone should skydive at least once in their life. It's a radically mind-altering experience. (And if you think it might be freaky, imagine having a malfunction and having to release your main and deploy your reserve! )

YES. I want to learn how to play music. I want to learn guitar.

Skyblueandblack,

I'd like to drive my bike to North Cape(Northern Norway)
Not only to enjoy the scenery..but for the freedom..
and yes..for me...Norway is the most beautiful place in Europe..
P.S.I will have to miss my cats for that period:&
old tiger(Emiel)
Belgium..

 

haha youd have to utilise the right side of your brain, piecfilgeofree

i forgot though, what i want to do, i want to do heaps of things like skydive, take lsd, have a page in the encyclopaedia, and the list continues into more abstract ones. that last one might involve a bit more than a single event though

 

when i was younger, i hated rollercoasters. now i absolutely love the adrenaline rush. ill go on a rollercoaster again and again and again just for one drop, if the line is short enough. lol one time, on a calm day at Wonderland, a big themepark near sydney, there was no line for a particular rollercoaster and i went on it around 15-20 times before my firends mum came and made us move on

its scary.. but hellafun. heights scare the shit out of me. but yeh lol still fun

 

Head east,looking for the sunshine of my life,picking her up along the way.Then disappear into sunset,never to be disturbed again.
