10,000feet, yay. please cross your fingers that my parachute opens and that i dont turn into a bunch of raver goo when i hit the ground OK

*splat*

dude
you're going to have a blast...haha jocelyn talked you into it eh?
i'm going to do it sometime.

[sebcoe]

i know, it should be lots of fun... she didn't talk me into it, i've been wanting to do it for a long time, but since she's as whacky as me, it's cool i finally have some one to go with.

:284:

[~lazee_grrl~]

mmmm..i wanna go skydiving....
i heard there was an age limit..or is that a rumor?

[bob]

i was booked to go for a tandum jump last september on my b-day... but it was 4 days after sept. 11th and they cancelled my jump because the airports wouldn't give them clearance or something... FUCKING TERRORISTS

first timers have to take a 4 hour course, and your first jump you're strapped to someone else... you have to be 19 (so you can sign your life away). or u can take an 8 hour course, pay a little more, take a test, and u can jump alone...

most beginner jumps only go at 8,000 feet and it'll only be a 30 second fall before they pull the chute... about $200

cool, have fun!

[walkin]

i so wanna try this!
i think it's less scary then bungee jumping

[kiMMie]

I've tried bungee jumping and para-sailing, but haven't gotten the chance to sky dive yet.... YET I said :)

[sebcoe]

hiya! well i made it! in regards to what bob said... we jumped from 10,500feet and the free fall was for 40seconds from what he told me, it seemed like just a few seconds for me!! honestly it was the greatest thing ive ever done in my life, when you are falling you can see way past all of the mountains... you're going at like 125mph, its just insane, you feel so free, i have a perma grin now!

i wish i didnt have to work right now or id be out drinking! i highly recommend it to any one who can handle those kind of silly antics.

[bob]

what company did you go to? i'm gonna book a jump for my b-day

[sebcoe]

pacific skydivers is what they go by i believe. it's at the pitt meadows airport. there is also one in abbotsford i think, but the scenary on the flight up is pretty cool at this one because you fly over mountains, and see lots of little lakes and stuff, up by golden ears.

[bob]

oh where they found that girls' body floating in the lake, right?

i think i remember looking at that company... i'll book with them this time...

[sebcoe]

yep, she got right in the middle of the lake because she was sky diving at pacific skydivers... they have a 68% failure rate :044:


jussssst kiddin, they have never had any accidents

[meeggs]

I am so afraid of heights and and jumping out of a plane is seriously the last thing on my to do list in life, but my bf wants me to go....I AM GOING TO DIE!!! So scared omg!
