Instructions

  • Nerve
  1. Step 1

    If you already think you would love to go skydiving, you are half way there. Set a goal and select when you want to go skydiving by. I thought I would have gone before I was 30. I ended up putting it off until I was 40. Don't wait do it this week end!

  2. Step 2

    Search the internet and read about the process. Just knowing more may give you a boost to do it. Find companies in your area, call and ask lots of questions.

  3. Step 3
     

    Gather a group of friends that are willing and able to go with you! Between your friends and the skydiving instructors you will find the whole experience very entertaining.

  4. Step 4

    Remember your first jump is tandem. You'll have an experienced teacher and skydiver right on your back, keeping you safe. What more could you ask for?

  5. Step 5

    Don't wait too long before you do it. You might talk yourself out of it. This is one of the biggest thrills, if you like thrill rides and speed you'll love skydiving. Plus the sooner you go, the sooner you can go again.

  6. Step 6

    Watch a few videos on the subject. There is plenty of information on the internet.

  7. Step 7

    Find someone you know that has gone skydiving and talk with them about their experience. Pretty soon you'll be very ready to go.

Tips & Warnings
  • Go with your friends. That is what I did and it made the whole thing so special. I wanted to back out for a minute and I just couldn't with my friends along for the fun. I'm so glad I did go, it was wonderful. If you want to go skydiving you will find it to be an amazing experience.
  • Be well rested for your big leap.
  • Research the company you choose to use.

on 11/2/2008 I've had a bunch of friends do this and they love it but I have a hard enough time getting to the top of a ladder. I'd love to have the guts but I don't think I do lol.

on 4/9/2008 This is something I have always wanted to do but have not done yet. Maybe one day soon, if I get my husband to go along with it.
