My 15,000 feet jump over Cape Canaveral, Fl Not my choice of music for the songs I picked werent used. I did like their choice though. You gotta try this just once. The first mini Chute I believe is to put drag on the jump master so that he can be in control.
They entire staff there rocks! Brent from Kentucky was my tandem jump master and Peter from Hungary was my videographer. Can't say enough about how easy it turned out to be. I expected the entire freefall to feel like a rollercoaster plunge but its not. The only time you feel anything remotely like that is the split second you jump. After that, it is pure, blood pumping adrenaline! If I can do this, anyone can! If youre ever there, you really should go. It can change your life for the better!

  • The drogue in tow behind you is so that the combined weight of you and the instructor will somewhat equal the weight of the cinematographer so he can film you in freefall.

  • Thanks for that. I wasn't exactly sure (obviously) and now it makes sense.

  • So there was a rainbow on the jump masters back is that significant? Just wondering considering the position and look on Jims face...

  • And the reponse to that would (of course) be... I felt excited and yet... ashamed.
