Wolf and Ramzey's first Skydive

If I knew how to embed videos I would, but until I do - here is a link to the video.

Wolf, Ramzey and Cabello jumped out at Byron, CA - its weird b/c while you don't do anything physically, when you land you feel completely shattered for like 2 hours. Granted the leg straps cut off blood to the boys, part of my body just went numb. Kickass  experience.

Congrats! They say you never forget your first, but I did, since it was a static line jump....my 6th jump was by far the most memorable, since I got to pull my own rip cord. :)

Congrats on your first skydive! You're no longer considered a 'whuffo'

Is that a King Air or a Beech-99? Hard to tell from that angle.

At risk of being a wuss, not nice to point guns at people, Russian, even in a WWII flight sim avatar.  

Was just in a gun store yesterday when the staff was lamenting some holster companies that do that sort of thing.  Not best image for the gun industry.

Wolf/Ramzey-  Mind if I ask how much they charged for your tandem jump?

About 185 per jump. Can get yr quals done for about 1400 or 7 jumps. Then, if u choose, buy a used rig for 3K, etc.

Well......technically you didn't jump :D

I did a tandem few months ago, but now I want to do it by-myself. I just didn't get rush / felt danger when strapped to some dude.
