SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 May 22, 2002 If you plan on jumping with a camera, you need quite a few jumps to do that. However, if you want to go to a dz to take photos of landings etc, I'm sure they won't mind.

Sebazz1 2 #4 May 22, 2002 Are you cool? Cause only cool people can skydiveI am just kidding. What you need to do is find a DZ near you and go check it out. See if you can help out and learn at the same time. Just cruise and peruse this site and you will gain a wealth of skydiving knowledge. Most DZ's require you to be 18 but you never knowSebazz........

skybytch 273 #5 May 22, 2002 Check out a dropzone near your house and hang out. You'll have plenty of photo ops in the landing area Plan on getting at least a hundred jumps under your belt before you strap that camera on your head... it adds a lot of extra risk to your skydives.pull & flare,lisa"Try not.
