It is VERY cool...I love it so much...I don't remember living without knowing about the sport thanks in part to the coolest dad ever...DANNYDAN...he started when I was seven and I've wanted to do it ever since...finally got the chance last September...the 9th to be exact...three days after my 18th birthday! It was a blast...did my first TWO static line jumps that day...I jump with amazing people and always look forward to my weekends out there at the DZ...just got back from ZHILLS last Saturday...no jumping for me but had a great time hangin with everybody!...
