never done it, but i will next summer. my school has its own air field and jump program. one of the only places in the world you can jump alone the first time, and get your wings, all for free.

I went for the first time this summer, I did the advanced free fall program where you jump unconnected and they hold onto you. I dont know about that place being the only one where you jump alone for the first time, I'm pretty sure you can do that anywhere. but its definitely mad fun and expensive. I want to get my A license next year if i can afford it. definitely one of the best 60 seconds of my life. and btw the free fall is not the only fun part, the canopy ride is actually really fun too.

dude that would be freaking scary. I would not trust the brute strength of one person to hold on to me thousands of feet up in the air, im not trusting enough in people

Are you retarded? I'm sorry.. but you can't possibly think someone would just hold onto you? You are attatched to the other person through all sorts of straps and buckles and shit. View display A below.

are you retarded? he was commenting on my post about doing the advanced freefall program where they only thing connecting you is their hands grabbing your suit. and you can do it your first jump after an 8 hour course (really like 3 hours).

google AFF jump, you'll get like a 100 videos of advanced free fall
