@Axesss Haha naah I didn't quit skydiving... I just don't jump nearly as often. When I was making these videos, I was only working part-time so my friends and I would jump every 2 weeks since we had a lot of free time. I went full-time at my job in October 2010 and haven't had much time to edit any new videos lately. I still jump, but only once a month now -- and I don't get enough good footage to make a video.
Either way, thanks for staying up late and watching my videos! :)
@AlyMMKAY8 Cold and moist... but refreshing and tastey at the same time (which would make sense since clouds are just large bodies of condensed water vapor :)
@Mikedkilla Skydiving can range anywhere from $5 - $300 depending on what kind of jump you're doing & where you go. Tandem jumps (strapped to a professional) cost around $160-200. Smaller family-owned dropzones usually charge less. If you're doing a solo jump, it can range from $5-25 depending on altitude (higher altitude = higher price). You don't need a license to jump solo, but you must complete the Accelerated Free Fall program which is only 7 solo jumps that test various skills.
@n8032 That's an odd question. Out of my 57 jumps, I've only had one line twist... and it was during AFF level 3 or 4 last summer. I've been jumping every 2-3 weeks since then, yet I haven't had any line twists *knock on wood!*
@OjarProductions really!? i must be doing something wrong. i have 23 jumps and i get line twists almost every 3 to 4 jumps i make. its not the packing. i have managed to kick out of some but then i have had to chop my main sometimes too. i guess i need to work on my form when i pull my PC. thanks buddy. love the videos.
@n8032 DUDE! After reading that, I'm REALLY concerned for your safety! You only have 23 jumps and have already cut-away NUMEROUS times?? That's NOT normal! Who is packing your rig? When you deploy your main, are you arched and stable, or are you spinning when you pull? If you're stable, and yet your lines STILL twist up, then it's your packer who's messing up -- he or she is putting the d-bag into the container wrong. Most skydivers don't experience a cut-away until 1,000+ jumps!!
@OjarProductions haha. i dont think its the packing. ive adressed it and i even had a rigger pack it a few times for me. im arched and as stable as i can. thats why i think it might be me. the rigger says its all good and i still get em. ive had 3 cutaways. so i guess i have expirence with choping below critical altitude. i try to kick out of em but sometimes my toggles are off and it puts me into a violent spin and i have to chop beofre i black out. i'll keep working on it. thanks buddy.
nice videos! you guys look like you really have a lot of fun jumping.i just started last week, got about 17 jumps in out at Lodi. Loving it! Your videos make me wanna go jump!
Holy crap man, I seriously NEED to do this. I sat here in awe watching that last jump when you went through the clouds & it really brought back some old memories of flying my dads Cessna, back before we'd even met. Time flies man, and I need to also, haha. Once my knee heals, I'm down! And great video btw, you did a great job editing keeping it entertaining :-p
@MotoX3style Haha thanks Kevin, i'm glad you liked it! :]
Sorry about your knee... as soon as it heals, you let me know when you're ready to jump! I literally go every 2 weeks so just hit me up whenever. Plus, if you're worried about hurting your knee, you can specifically request for an ass-landing. They can bring you in sliding on your ass for people with prior knee/ankle injuries :)
@jazzel70 Haha, thanks! Although, one of the disadvantages of being the first to watch a YouTube video is that it plays in low quality since the high quality / hi-definition versions have not fully uploaded yet. Be sure to check back when the full HD version is processed ;)
