Well, technically today, when I go to bed...

It's going to be freaky to freefall, I think its a 30 second freefall with me strapped to some guy

Anyone ever go?

I was supposed to have 5 jumps when I was in the Army but the Doc said no because of a knee injury

First time is supposed to be the best ... 2nd time you know what it's like and may get more nervous

Good luck

Wait behind the line ..............................................................

Best thing you will ever do. If they drop you at 12,000ft you will get around 50 seconds of freefall, pull the chute at 3-4,000ft and descend for like 5 mins from there. Your ears and hands are gunna get fucking cold btw.

Im scared about being able to breath while skydiving, even if i stick my head out the window of the car at 80km/h + i cant breath properly so i would assume this would be worse?

yeah its gets difficult to breath, but not too bad tbh. like the main reason you dont want to breath is coz the air is so cold. Other than that theres nothing actually stopping you.

Are you going to get your photo taken during the freefall?

I've had a few friends who skydived and they have all said they have sore lips afterwards cause the air forces your mouth open. lol

It's like getting a thesaurus thrown at you. You can see it coming a mile away, but it's still hard to avoid.
