joe--good thing I got lots of 'sellable' stuff then! wild--that's AWESOME!!!! I didn't realize there was a place in Chippewa--I'm less than an hour from there! I won't be able to make it in before our Vegas trip but plan on me showing up come spring! THANKS for posting--I will be getting in touch with you! Terri First jump (tandem) on Nov. 4, 2006 in Las Vegas!!! Most AWESOME experience ever...uh...next to having children, of course? ;-)

THANKS, whollo!!! I'll definitely check out that website. You guys rock! First jump (tandem) on Nov. 4, 2006 in Las Vegas!!! Most AWESOME experience ever...uh...next to having children, of course? ;-)

THANKS everybody!! I am so glad I found this website; it's really cool to read about everybodys' experiences--and it's made me even more excited to get to Vegas (one more month!) And I love the video links some people have posted--it's awesome to watch other peoples' jumps. You're right about this being an expensive hobby; by the time it's said and done, this is going to cost upwards of $250 (including the DVD!) Hopefully, once I get back home, I can find someplace less expensive around here. (We're very rural here with a lower per capita income, so lots of things tend to be less expensive.) Thanks again for the encouragement! Terri

Hello! My name is Terri, and I'm from central Wisconsin. I have not jumped (yet); but have always wanted to (I've parasailed and bungee-jumped, and also ride a Harley). I have booked my very first (tandem) dive, which will take place on Nov. 4 in Las Vegas!!! My Hubby 'won' the trip by being one of the top 6 sales guys in the country--but, unfortunately, he will be working the SEMA show all week. So I 'had' to find other activities that will keep me out of the casinos--and thought, "I've always wanted to skydive. Sounds like a great time to do it!" I am THRILLED to have found this website, so I can at least go into this somewhat educated, about what to expect, and anything I can do to make my jump better/safer/easier on my tandem partner! If I like this first jump (and I'm quite sure I will), I am strongly considering signing up for classes and making this a new hobby! (Hubby says he's happy to come and WATCH!)
