Title: 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' (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whuffo)

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

How expensive was it and from what alt did you jump?

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.

Congrats Wolf.  "Are you scared"?  NO...........(dumbfounded look)haha...Getting ready for my first jump, I thought I was confident as can be...Then I watched the video hahaha!!!!  Glad you did it and had fun dude!

Wolf/Ramzey-  Mind if I ask how much they charged for your tandem jump?
Title: Wolf and Ramzey's first Skydive
Post by: Wolfala on March 20, 2007, 07:48:57 PM
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.

well , technically i push myself from the edge of a plane, with some guy strapped  to my back ;)

Now, i really don't see a reason , to jump from perfect good airplane.

Free fall was ok, hanging on the chute, wearing very uncomfortable harness was very unpleasant . Wobbling , give me little stomach discomfort. No biggie.

Most pissing off  part, lack of controll
Hanging  over there, descending, and there is nothing to do , except looking at closing ground.

Before we start, one hot chick ask me if im afraid.
I said no.
"- I jump with expert who know whats he's doing, we have spare chute (i hope we had). Nothing bad can happen "

She look at me as at stupid, looks like i should be afraid.

I can say one thing, chicks hanging out  there was hotter then in any airclub i was :)
But its not enough for me to start take skydiving serious, just to impress chicks. Im too old for that
:t

You are not too old. :D And I do agree with hotness of girls. When I jumped, there was a very friendly and beautiful girl.

Btw, if wolf and you are thinking of doing jump not tendum, I would join in.

Jumped for 8 1/2 Years..water jumps, rough terrain jumps, swamps, Mass Tacs, cold weather, desert.  Its all fun. Hueys, Blackhawks, Caribou's,  C130's, C141's C5A.

Wait I forgot...I don't have the Mini D seal of Approval...Nevermind.

My knees and back are paying for it now.

Go for it!

Drive On!!!

:aok

Jump for yourself, not the babes...

Well, weekend before , when we went fly this beauty, they give us parachutes. Just in case.
I never use it  before, neither wear one.
So this weekend jump was more like  "what to expect if....",  gaining experience :cool:

You should have unclipped that piggy backing free loader and have some fun by yourself.

So?


You'd still have a good minute or two of full controll of your destiny. Plus a tremendous adrenaline rush at the end.
