SkydiverRick 0 #2 June 29, 2003 Usually a couple hundred bucks for your first skydive, and half of your income for the rest of your life. Rick never pull low......unless you are Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyIvan 0 #5 June 29, 2003 Just a couple of hundreds for the first jump, then, you'll have to sell all your belongings, move to a cardboard box, stock up on Ramen and Crackers, and if that's not enough, you can sell blood or even your soul in order to satisfy your craving to skydive.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

Jib 0 #12 June 30, 2003 Quote"Does anyone else consider $500 a hair on the low side" $500 would not even pay for 3 AFF jumps at my DZ Hmmm, 20 jumps * $18/jump (plane ride) => $360 Instructors= 10 jumps*$18/jump (plane ride)=>$180 (3 levels x 2 + 4 x 1 instructor) No problem find instructors who work for free, free gear and free coaching and you'd only go over by $40 if you don't fail a level.

sducoach 0 #15 June 30, 2003 In your area or up here in SW Missouri it's going to run around $150 to $180 for first jump or tandem. Add a little for video if you want it. Blues, J.E.James 4:8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phonics1981 0 #16 June 30, 2003 Jesus thats cheap!! Here in the UK I paid £1400 for my AFF (not sure what that is in dollars). Level 1 is £350 A tandem is £350 also. Why do we always get ripped to bits over here?!?! ------------------------------------------------------ "Ive given up on sigs cos I make a mess of them!" ------------------------------------------------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bch7773 0 #17 June 30, 2003 ok ok ok, everybody just calm down, maybe $500 was a little too low. and if you learn where I learned, at KSUPC, it costs $547 to get your first 20 jumps, so you could get your A-license for around $500, if you don't have to repeat any jumps. but since you are more likely to jump at a commercial DZ, and probably do AFF, then I would guess anywhere from $1500 to $5000.
