zerocrash Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 That's a discounted group rate, assuming we have at least 6 people. (which should NOT be a problem) Normal rate is $195 I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJC1000rr Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I went there last month, was a great time with a friend. When I went they only had 1 instructor so we had to go up seperately....which made a breif lull in jumping. That and when I took the dive, it was 22 Degrees outside......my face hurt! Other then that its easy and a great time. Show up, watch a video...spend 10 min signing your life away..basic instruction on what you do to exit the plane and GG!

fusion Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I have video somewhere of my wife's first tandem jump somewhere. If I can find it I'll post it up. I don't have any of mine anymore I don't think though. Have never done a tandem, just 1 static and 11-12 assisted freefalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you aren't allowed to jump without the instructor tied to you without some type of license/training classes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you aren't allowed to jump without the instructor tied to you without some type of license/training classes?Tandem = Having an instructor strapped to your back. ( a dude in your case)Static = Having a 50-75 foot cord attached to you so that when you get a safe distance from the plane, your chute is pulled for you.Assissted = Jumping with your own chute but an instructor goes out with you to make sure you don’t Fuck up. Sometimes they will hold you on exit until you get stable in the air. Then you wave them off when you are about to pull your chute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During each progressive jump you practice skills to move to the next. I've seen some people go through the 1st day course to do the static line just for fun though.There is a Tandem training method taught at a bunch of places also.If you are going out to do it just once (or twice) just for fun though I think tandem is easily the best route. No real class time, just some instruction with the JM and off you go. You have someone strapped to you so you don't have to worry about a ton of stuff and get to just enjoy the trip with someone else at the controls basically.If there is someone available I would recommend paying for a vid guy to get both stills and vid if you can.
