Earlier, I read mike’s status to say: “so it’s official, I enjoy falling.” All I have to say to this is: I don’t enjoy falling… I’m addicted to it… In my dreams, I’m falling, in my nightmares, I’m falling, in my DAY dreams I’m falling… I look outside and I simply want to fall… Soon enough I’m gonna make a living off falling, then I know for sure that I have a problem

Holy ****. That’s sum’s up for the most part my entire jump, but I wont be lazy and write the details for you. If you didn’t already read Adam’s posts (or don’t want to lol) -> the weather was amazing, 30 degrees Celsius and a clear sky. In total we were 19 tandem jumpers + Adam and another solo jumper. As soon as we got to the drop zone I wanted everything to happen right away, luckily for me I was on the first load. My tandem instructor was absolutely awesome (Jon) I don’t think I could have gotten a… » Read more…

I posted a week ago about experiencing freefall for the first time, and this past Friday evening my little brother and I went on over to SkyVenture to get our fly-on. (lol) The staff was super friendly! Which didn’t help the excitement levels, nor did the hour long wait which seemed like forever watching the other flyers in the tunnel.

I’ve never actually jumped out of a plane. I have only had the pleasure of dreaming about it… It all started a little while back when I was a wee little lad (17; for those who want to know, I’m now 20) I came across a thread on a forum about a bunch of locals (I live in Montreal) gathering to do a group tandem. Being the adventure thrill seeking child I’ll always be, it got me thinking “wow, that looks like an AWESOME time” but being 17, my parents would never sign the consent form.
