/edit: Due to some lovely medical billing shenanigans with my insurance company I can't commit to this anymore. If someone else wants to pick up the mantle and put this on, I'll leave the interested parties list and the rest of the post below. Mods, feel free to lock/delete if necessary. Place to be determined. I popped my cherry at Start Skydiving Ohio in Lebanon, about a hour and a half from Columbus. The prices there were really reasonable, and they were willing to work out deals on the video if we had a bunch of people ordering them. Prices here: http://www.startskydiving.com/tandem-pricing.htm I'm open to suggestions on venue. Date I'm thinking Saturday, June 19th, weather permitting. What you can expect: This is a whole-day deal, especially if we get a bunch of people in a group. The plane in Start Skydiving will take 4 (i think) groups at a time, so they will rotate as necessary. There's about 3-4 hours of instruction, including a 45 minute video. Afterwards you get paired up with your instructor, put the jumpsuit on, go through the positions you need to be in when, then get on the plane. You'll free-fall for almost a minute, then the chute will deploy. It's worth going for the chute deployment alone, when it goes everything around you goes absolutely SILENT. Really cool sensation. Steer towards the drop zone, land, get on the truck back to the hangar, begin drinking beer. Easy-peasy. For everyone that says "damn, I want to do that sometime..." time's up. Hike up your skirt, grab your bollocks, and jump out of a plane.
