skydiving

[cr4sh_27]

so summer has come to an end and its only gonna get colder and colder from here on out. So, Im hoping that I can get a lil end of summer skydive get together. I jump at 2 different locations: skydive midwest in wisconsin and chicago skydive in hinkley il.

to do tandem jumps its roughly 150 bucks and its another 100 bucks for the vid and pictures, which i highly recommend.

Im tryin to see if there is an interest with you guys to go. theres about 10 peeps from my work that are goin with me. the cool part is, the more peeps that go the less costs each person. ive already started the solo program so myself and 2 others will be jumpin solo. for the most part, the group will be doin tandems.

so here's the basic info:
location - chicago skydive
date - late september to early october
cost - 100 to 250 bucks......lower price's if more peeps go

for those of you that are interested shoot me a pm and i will give you a number to call and a name of the person to talk to to get on the list. they will ask for a 10% fee to get on the list which goes towards payment on jump date.

for the rest of you...
here is a vid of my last tandem jump last year...enjoy

I actually haven't jumped.... YET. There is an Illini Skydiving club called the Falling Illini that I keep wanting to go out with. You take a class at this place near us and then you can do solo static line jumps right away. The downside.... no free fall. You jump out and the shoot goes pop right away. If you do a couple tandems (accelerated free fall jumps) and pull the cord properly at the right time, yadda, yadda, yadda, they clear you to do solo accelerated free fall jumps. The prices are stupid cheap down here as well and they have a great record.... I just need to do it. Haha Pretty sweet vid though.

dude....
you can go solo your very first jump. well...not totally solo. you jump out with 2 instructors kinda holdin you to make sure you fly correctly, and you have another instructor on the ground with a radio tellin you what to do. you have to go through six hours of safety training b4 hand.
but thats what i found out after my last tandem.

you should come

After bungee jumping for the first time last weekend, my next thrill is going to be skydiving. But it's gonna have to wait till next summer. Sounds like a good time just cash is tight.

[allan42r]

aint gonna do it

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

I'd go, but do you have to shave your head, and get the piercings?

JK crash!!!

And can I jump tandem with a female instructor in front of me..not a dude behind me? That guy riding you had just a little too much fun for me to want to jump with him.....reminded me of a military paratrooper joke I know....

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

lmao that dude is really giving him the business!

[t to the maxx2]

Do you have to be 18?

[FreeRideFrosty]

Most places you need to be 18 or have a parent sign for you I believe....

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

no, they'll molest anybody......oh, you mean to skydive...sorry. I dunno.

lmao....i know it looks hilarious havin a dude on ur back. but if ur a first time jumper...you deffinatley feel more comfortable that that dude is glued to you and he's gonna do everything in his power to not splatter on the ground.

but yeah....this is the reason i started jumpin solo....i want vids of just me and my sexy shaved head and piercings. lmao

[cr4sh_27]

Do you have to be 18?

nope.... you just need parent consent

lmao...my wife started crying the first time i went solo. she said i was falling so fast that she thought my parachute wasnt gonna stop me when i opened it.

[blktransam]

lol...some day maybe we can sky dive...for now no go I cant even own a motorcycle beings her dad was killed on one on her 4th b-day...sux nuts as thats what all my buddys do and my family but o well I have my street/strip toy along with my r.c's...

[Michowski]

its 18 at hinkley or your parents have to sign for you. Ive done a tandem before and it ok. Definatly more of a thrill then any amusement park or bungee jumping. Id never go bungee, way to unsafe. If you got the money definatly do a tandem at hinkley. I actually got mine for free and a video for free also. Its good to be friends with the owners

[cr4sh_27]

yeah, i like the hinkley location....
they have a camping area that you can have a bon fire and drink, if ur not jumping of course. you can play volleyball, toss around a pigskin, they even let you rip ur r/c's around the joint. they have a cool lil consession area. you can make a pretty cool day of it even if you come to just watch us idiots jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
