!!!

waiting on the ground is more scarier , the anticipation! once you jump it's all good. if you guys get dizzy easily, let the pro's know so he won't spin during freefall! you will enjoy it!

My first jump was at 15000ft. enjoy!

Was much fun. Memorable moment was shifting to edge of plane seconds before jump thinking to self, "careful, don't fall."

I did a tandem jump and it was a rush. I was expecting the free fall to be super cool, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the flight down after the canopy opened.

I agree that waiting on the ground is the most nerve racking part. After the plane climbed above 3,000 feet or so it actually seemed much less scary to me.

jumped during spring break in college years ago... if you can, try to get your jumpmaster to do a couple flips as you come out of the plane... what a rush! and definitely go for the higher altitude... 14k-15k feet is best.

I went a few years ago. That was the best. Nothing has compared to it yet.
