That looks insanely fun, but gawd damn those guys get awfully close to the ground and trees in some of those shots, I would be afraid I'd run out of lift. I'm tentatively planning on going skydiving this summer, should be a hoot.

Are you doing the Accelerated Freefall program or are you doing a tandem jump? Either way you will love your first jump and will never forget it.

There is no problem with a tandem jump! But you would have no issues with landing, they use a radio to give you steering advise and landing direction. Flying the canopy is really fun. The Accelerated Freefall jump is safer in my opinion, based on conversations that I have had with some instructors.

There is no thrill ride that even comes close....
