My first skydive, 11000ft video

Apologies for the music, it comes like that on the video they shoot.


Today I went for my first skydive. It was a tandem skydive obviously, cause they won';t let you jump alone your first time.

What an awesome experience though. A while back I did the highest commercial bungee jump too, posted it here on ATS also, but this, this was just amazing.

The feeling of weightlessness during the free fall, the adrenaline, and the sheer beauty of seeing things from an awesome angle while falling at 200kmh.

I would highly recommend this for anyone that has ever thought about it.

Peace

That,Sir
is really cool
Mate,the look on your face once you get used to it is great,just a calm happy smile..
Good jump.
Can't wait to see the next few before you get to do a solo jump.

You look like a natural considering your calm face on your first jump bro.
Massive respect.

Well done!

Looks like you could see the entire Earth from up there...Did you see me waving at you?

Peace

Awesome Vx3!

This is something I've wanted to do for sooo long but have yet to get around to. Looks like a beautiful area to jump!

I remember your bungee jump too - for some reason that seems scarier to me than this does by far. =

Hahahaha, indeed mate, that bungee was insane! Just the sheer height of this jump is a bit intimidating. The area is beautiful indeed, beautiful views while parachuting down.

double, my bad

great feeling isnt it but i would hate to be strapped to a instructor the first jump you do most people hit the featal position .

everything they told me on my first jump that would not happen did people landing in trees and some pulling their reserves .

i looked up on my first jump to see my chute tangled up but could not wait to get my name up for another jump as soon as i landed

I'd prpbably die of a heart attack on my way down! No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!
