Havent really been on here in a while but i cant stay away from this forum. Well I finally got to experience my first skydive, at endless mountain skydiving. It was one of the best things I have ever done. It was not scary at all like I thought it would be, it was just exciting, words cant really explain it. I cant wait to do it again. Thinking about taking the AFF courses anyone have experience with this??

first off, you jump from 10,000, and your freefall is for about 5500 feet or 40-45 seconds. and if you hit the trees its because you steered yourself into them and deserved to. not sure how some people do it but we dont use equipment from ww2. so yea i missed the no.9 party today cause i was flying the skydiving plane all day and then made a few jumps myself and no trees.

A guy I know (here in Indiana) has made a couple of jumps, He claimed it was a massive rush. I can see that.

But we have to be taking grapefruit kahunas here.
