I want to push my limits in as many ways as I can. I am heading to a different continent for the challenge. I have always been the boring student who lived at home with mom and dad because it is close to college. I am full of it now and I am heading to Australia which is literally the other side of the world (12 hour time difference) I want to cover my own expenses, meet new people, get small jobs to be independant. And this would be a great way to battle the fear. I want it on tape too. But not if the whole thing costs me more than $420 The result has to match the costs which is not the case for that amount

Possibly. A jump on video costs me $420. If I turn that into my hobby I'll be broke soon

With time the distance to earth gets closer during a skydive. And at one point the distance will be the same as "bungy jump height". Just a thought Yes but in a bungee jump you get closer to the earth at 200km/h. With your head pointing downwards so it looks as if you are going to crash and die. Free falling from 8000ft you know it takes a minute to reach the ground. And the parachute is open at a distancemuch greater than a bungee jump. I don't know how I would feel after the free fall. Relieved because the most intense part is over, or scared because we are still on a distance from earth that makes me die if a bird collides with the parachute. It's a once in a lifetime experience so I don't know how I will feel

I'm heading to Australia in february. There's a company called skydiving express in York where I can jump and get the whole thing on camera. The 23rd is my birthday and they have special offers for it. It would be my first and last jump (tandem) BUT I fear heights. I would never consider a bungee jump because it scares the crap out of me. Looking down from such a height makes me want to puke and get dizzy. I don't know if this feeling would be the same with skydiving. Because the distance to earth is a lot bigger so it's less scary. Someone with 30 jumps of experience says I'm gonna feel like I'm going to die when the door opens at 8000ft and he says I should never jump with fear of heights. What is your opinion on this? I have no idea how it's going to be. If a jump would make me feel proud in the end or that I'd feel miserable
