Never jumped before in my life. I always wanted to try this. Went with my longtime college buddy. friendDone!
Astonishingly positive experience. I'm utterly speechless...can't find a way to describe the rush! I would jump again today without even the most sub-zero microscopic reservation. My instructor, Nathan, read me well and intuitively knew I was up for this. He was totally A+.
I'm seriously considering training to be a fully qualified & certified solo skydiver!
The only downside: There was a lot of rough language thrown around, on the ground and in the aircraft by the CSC staff and other experienced jumpers. I jumped with my friend, and he has a young son and daughter. I would not want them to hear a lot of what was said. Even the soundtrack on my friend's video had a generous helping of BLEEP. I was embarassed for him. At least you bothered to insert the BLEEP.
The F-word was on my own video, spoken by another jumper. Luckily, the sound of the aircraft engine & wind noise makes it nearly impossible to hear. But I know it's there.
I'm hardly a prude, and ocassionally spit out a naughty word myself. But when I'm at my job it's all nice. If I said some of the things I heard at CSC to a paying customer, I'd be fired on the spot. C'mon folks...clean it up when around customers...and that includes experienced, regular jumpers.
To end on a positive note, it really was a memorable experience and there is a 100% chance that I will jump again. Thanks for everything...I WILL BE BACK: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
