So i went skydiving a couple weeks ago.
    #14036082 - 02/27/11 01:42 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

And ever since ive been getting this creeping urge to go do it again. Its almost like im hooked on cigarettes or something, and i want to feel that rush again. It was the most intense experience. I feel like i could get addicted to it and it will suck my money away.
What do you think?

The "heartstopping" rush is very addictive...and fun...and in your case, expensive.  You know...in the Airborne they let you jump out of airplanes for free ^^

Can't wait to go skydiving. If they're half as fun as roller coasters i'll be happy

I really want to go skydiving this summer.:yesnod:

If you can afford it, do it.

In my area we have a skydive place, and your first jump you have to be attached to an instructor, and I believe it's around 500-750$

I haven't had the money to do so, or I would have taken that jump!

That's crazy....I really want to do it someday, but I would never ever shell out $500+....$100-$200 sounds about right though.


And as far as I know, you have to jump tandem quite a few times before you're allowed to go solo...

Cost me 180 bucks, but the whole skydive certification class is like 1300 and then jumps are only 20 bucks each.

I've wanted to do this since I was a kid. Probably be a while before I can afford it.

Kind of scares me, though.

I know it's rare that a parachute doesn't open, but it's one of those irrational fears that fucks with you. :lol:

I can only imagine the rush, though. Must be crazy.

Cost me $65 to jump with someone, the certification is $1450 and $15 a jump after that.

If you want to just try skydiving it's pretty cheap. Way better adrenline rush than cars/motorcycles/etc imo.

My first jump was $170. You have to jump 4 times to jump alone, and if you have your own parachute its only $10 a jump. The hanger we went to had maybe 15 people in there that bring like $100 each and spent the whole day jumping

Do skydiving certifications differ from state to state?

Always wanted to dive!!

No, it's a national certification.
