Hi folks. Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I just did my first tandem skydive this past weekend in Ohio. It was fantastic. and everything went well. During free fall, we had a bit of a slow spin going right up until the parachute deployed, but it was still amazing. I also had a little nausea after the chute deployed, but from what I understand, that is fairly normal for a first-timer. It went away as soon as we landed. But, overall it was a great experience.
It was probably one of the coolest things I have ever done, and now I am hooked. I am anxious to go back for another tandem, then maybe take the static line course.
My only regret is that I did not start this when I was a little younger. But, as they say, better late than never.
