our group rate brings it to 165.....not bad in my opinion but then again i've dropped 100+ at the bar on numerous occasions.

ugh, been there, done that. i refuse to spend over $40 at any bar now, unless i'm with a hottie

anyhow, where did you find a group? friends? coworkers? or do they have some kind of signup list over at the airfield?

its possible.....if that happens can you make the flash presentation about it? and only release shotty footage of the event where you cant disguish if it is a person that is even falling

I've jumped when I was in the army, but not after that. I'm very sorry at the moment that I did not continue in civil...

That was clearly the coolest thing i have ever done in my life. I recommend this life affirming activity to everyone young and old.

Only one problemm everything else i do from now will seem so inadequate.

YES!!!! I jumped tandem and it was absolutely awesome!!!!.. it's indescribable.. you stay "high" for about a week afterwards. I would do it again!!!
 

My gf's sister just went last weekend. She said the same thing about it.
All of her sisters and I are going this coming spring, or mabey this fall if we can afford it.
