skydiving in Greensburg...again!

[E5RANGER375]

It rates behind a couple of things. I also thinking roller coasters are a waste of my time.

Don't think of falling
it's really gliding or floating
that's the sensation I feel from it.

The sheer reality of standing at the drop door at 10000 feet cannot be described though.

Nothing but space under you...

only 10,000?

 

[mettle]

only 10,000?

Whatever that means.
if there was more I'd like to do it.

How many Tandems before you can jump by yourself?

It's been a while for me, but tandems are not required. I believe there are two options: jumping with two coaches and static line. I went the 5 static line jump option rather than paying for three jumpers.

I actually enjoyed the static line jumps quite a bit more because I had to get out of the airplane, make my way to the end of the wing, and hang there until the jumpmaster gave the go command.

Really?

other than in jump training for a military branch...

I used to jump at Raeford DZ in NC. I think 13,500' AGL was the norm there.

C'mon Benny, let's go do a skydive. I'll do it... And I'm not thrilled about it, but why not I guess.

You try it out and I'll go the second time around.



BTW, how much is it usually?

I’m not sure I would like the “hanging out on the wing” part...

I jumped there several years ago and loved every minute of it. I recommend it to everyone, one of the best feelings you can't duplicate anywhere else.

Not an attitude with you

nope you can jump at 30 thousand feet, no military school needed if you have the $$ and the ability.

I wanted to make it my summer goal to try aff there. I'm okay with paying a little extra and sitting for awhile in a class to jump by myself the first time. It seems like it would be awesome. I'm glad to hear greensburg has a good rep since that was where i was going to try.

 

[jojoa55]

I jumped at Greensburg last summer. we jumped tandem at 13,000. Also, if you guys get enough people together (4 or more i think) they start giving group discounts. We had 7 jump in our group and it ended up costing us $180 a person for a tandem jump. Plus they give you a coupon for your next jump thats $99 IIRC. If you're thinking about doing it, DO IT!! no other feeling like it in the world.

 

[iChokePeople]

I would have to imagine that touching down(unharmed) would have to be one of the single greatest feelings a person could have...I would have to guess(if I could muster up the guts to do it) that it would rank #2 on my list right behind the birth of my son.

For me, landing unharmed the first few times was less overwhelming than checking my risers and canopy and finding that everything had worked correctly. After that, it's just an easy, slow glide and gravity takes care of nearly everything. There is no feeling like standing in the door or hanging on the side of an aircraft, then jumping. Yes, I'll say it, better than sex.

Have fun, I made 2 tandem jumps in Illinois 10 years ago, I loved it and should go again.
