    I remember being 16 years old watching this video every single day wishing to be a skydiver and sometimes crying from the impotence of not being able to jump because of the money. Now 8 years later, I'm on my 70th jump. Thanks for motivating me.

      Hell yeah.
      I maxed out two credit cards in 97. I had a bit of a jumping problem. The cards wrecked my credit but now I have jumped into some of the most secure air space in the US outside of area 51, some of my friends are the best in the world. What I am saying is the sport paid me back in ways money never could have gotten me

    "Why do you want to jump from a plane?"

    That moment you are looking out of the plane moments before you take your leap of faith is
    Just.
    Surreal.
    The most truest expression of living in the moment is when you're up in the sky like that.
    Nothing else matters except the exhilaration of the wind and raw pounding of your heart. Real flesh and bones up there.

      - Aside from being in the middle of the country and 1 in a million odds of hitting someone on the ground, a tennis ball hitting you in the head would not kill you as they have a good amount of give and a low terminal velocity.

    • @supercooper92
      @supercooper92 11 років тому +5

      ***** Thats a silly thing to say. The video is blatant proof that the tennis ball is falling at terminal velocity at the same speed as the jumpers. Which is about 160mph in head down orientation. I don't think anyone would consider that a low speed to get hit by a tennis ball.
      As for if you would die, people get hit in the head more often than one would expect, and with serve speeds in excess of 120mph. It does very little to the victim.

      1- Change your team to Bayern München
      or
      2- Start Skydiving
      See ya in the skies

      What we see :
      Higher in the comments there is 14 years old girl, who saved her money and jumped with a chute.
      Here we have a looser, who probably didn't pay any effort to make his life better. No one will do anything for you, get your ass up and do something. You look pathetic.
      So emotional because seen a whole bunch of similar comments and got sick.

    Thanks for the beautiful video... there's no way to describe that flood of joy and exhilaration when you step over that threshold from the plane into the sky. I've done tandem twice & have a third jump lined up, but wondering if I should take a step further & learn to solo? I think I'm addicted. 💗💗

    My dad was Skydiving in 1966, My Mom Skydived in the same period (I still have their chutes). My first skydive was in 1982 (Parris Valley) with a 28 foot 7TU (round chute) at 16 years old and fell in love with it. it's been 18 years since my last jump (a lot went wrong with that jump) strangely that was my favorite jump because I had no fear. I had lots of time (everyone on the ground thought I would Bounce) and I worked the problem while checking my Alt. I'm now a 53-year-old disabled veteran with 18 years service living in Wisconsin and just wish I had friends who skydived (and the money to do it often) because it's an experience that sticks with you. it's been long enough that I would have to go through AFF to do it again (making it even more costly, and unaffordable to me). but I sure do miss it, and always will.

  • @lyc0h
    @lyc0h 5 місяців тому

    Back in 2015 i did my skydiving licence and had 10 jumps. I was already a plane pilot and skydiving was the ice on the cake. Sadly, i went though a lot in my life soon after and became addicted to drugs. I spent all my money, all my savings, everything and even lost one eye during a drug inducted stroke. It took me 3 years to get out of this situation with now 30 kg to lose. I'm not a plane pilot anymore and i'll never be due to my bad sight. But when i see this video, like when i saw it almost 10 years ago, the passion is still there. The motivation to become healthy again and maybe one day jump inside a pilatus again. Looking the clouds approaching, smelling the plane kerosene again, approach the door and litteraly jump into my new life. Soon i'll accomplish this again, but trust me... i'll never stop. I don't even know if you are still active Dexter but if you are : Thanks for the motivation.

    Love this video because it makes me remember to try and enjoy life for what it is. Excellent video very well put together when I first watched you jump out of the plane, I just started thinking so good just to FREE fall nothing in the world would feel like this feeling I have not skydived but watching it i can still have that feeling. I have a motorcycle and when I ride I just forget about everything in my life just think about how good it is to be alive this is the closest feeling that I could have next to skydiving. Too much worrying/thinking for the life now I miss being young and having nothing to worry about. In life always trying to climb that next mountain. But never having time to enjoy the view.

      ***** Haha sarcasm at its finest. I knew someone would do that haha. But I ask this because i am currently in an AFF training course to be certified in skydiving, and according to some rules and regulations they sayyour not allowed to fall through clouds because you never know what is beneath the cloud like another diver, or plane.

Its just annoying sometimes because they wont let students jump under certain weather conditions so sometimes i cant jump when i want to, otherwise its great! Cant wait till i can go jump on my own whenever i feel like it.
