It's something I plan to do before I die. I'm hoping before I'm 30.

i would really like to know where this was in florida. i jumped at the school right next to cape canaveral, highest jump in florida. and it was like $150 or something. $65 a jump sounds like solo to me. which means he probably spent over $2000 to get jump certified.

It was in deland. After a 15 jump training program they gave me a rate of $65 a jump for solo. There price for tandem was around 150 too I think. I used to go with a bunch of friends at least once a month sometimes twice so it didnt take to long to get the discount rate. It even goes down more I knew someone who was going for 20 a jump or something like that. Heres their website http://skydivedeland.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

I've never been skydiving, but it is definitely on my list of things to do one of these days.
Just haven't been in the right situation at the right time...

Skydiving is something I really want to do eventually, at this point though it'd be hard to justify those kind of expenses.

I watched this documentary called Adrenaline Junkies a few weeks ago. It's shot in HD (made for iMAX) and has heaps of amazing footage of sky diving and base jumping (first person perspective ).
After watching that, I've decided I'm doing it as soon as I have the $200. I'll make a thread on my experience when the time comes. I honestly am so excited.
