Thread: Tell me.. anyone else want to skydive?

I used to really want to, but I dont really think about it any more.

Yup, and I plan on it. I'm just not in that big a hurry, at the moment. my best friend has gone, a time or two, and said it's great.
I don't really have too many fears against skydiving, but I don't think you'll see me bungee jumping, any time soon. >.>

Yeah, I wouldn't mind going skydiving too, but like Oneironaut said, I would never ever bungee jump. Wouldn't like that rope to snap... ouch!

I'd absolutely love to skydive. I don't want to do it strapped to someone though. I also don't want to do it with a static line.

Just me and the air, flying downward at 120+ MPH! I don't even know where the nearest place is I could skydive..

I don't know so much about skydiving, but I would love to parasail or hang glide. It would be more like flying in my dreams, rather than rocketing downward toward the ground.

I've done that "rocketing toward the ground" thing.

It's overrated.

Flying though... yeah. If I could somehow get over motion-sickness, an ultralight would be high on my goal list.

It's been a lifelong dream of mine to skydive - not tandem, which is what you have to start out doing, but solo.

I'd love to do it solo but I don't trust being alone.. just me and my (OMG I HOPE IT OPENS) shute.

I want someone else with me who'll make SURE that we don't plummet to our deaths.. unless of course.. I get strapped to a suicidal diver.

As for bungee jumping.. never understood the premise! And what is with the insanity of TWO people bungee jumping TOGETHER and then banging together like cymbals or click clacks?!?

Always wanted to but I don't think I have the guts to do it. So I guess I might have to get pushed out the plane then

A snippet of a conversation from the weekend:

"One thing I'm not going to be doing is laying on my death bed mourning the things I've done... other than maybe bungee jumping in Cancun."

Click clacks again! (or clickity-clacks, as I prefer). You must still have a pair that you get out and play with every once in a while, after everyone else is asleep...no, that wouldn't work, that noise would wake everybody up!

My cousin who is like 6 foot 6 and 300 lb lied about his weight so he could skydive. He lived.

Take pics if you do it! And do lots of RC's.

I've tandemed twice. I was under the the other person, so it was just like jumping without somebody strapped to me. Skydiving is about the biggest thrill there is. The first few seconds of a free fall that high up cause a rush that is unbelievable. The rest of the fall is really fun too, and parachuting in is a trip. It can also cause an adrenaline rush that makes everything seem like a dream, and that dreaminess can keep going for for a long time after the jump is over. It gives me that and an endorphin rush that has me feeling really good for hours.

I definitely plan on doing it at least once before I die. It is one of those things that seems like a must before you die; a classic thing people do when they know they have a limited time lfet on Earth.

I'm going to do it before I'm diagnosed with a terminal illness, though (:

I got a bit of an "adrenaline" rush just reading your post!! I have a strong feeling that the experience of skydiving is a memory that would never fade with time.

I actually don't want to skydive in real life, but just last night I was skydiving in a non-lucid dream, and it was the most intense thing I have ever physically felt. It was crazy to say the least, and I didn't even feel scared probably because deep in my mind I knew it was a dream.

Coooool.

I certainly hope on going skydiving one day too.

You go girl.

Casualtie, freakiest avatar ever! This is the first I've seen it, I can't quit watching! I want to see that right before I go to sleep...

I would absolutely love to go skydiving...along w/ bunji jumping, parasailing, base jumping, (basically the same as skydiving, but off a building) and about a billion other crazy things like that. Though, w/ my luck I'll never get a chance to do any of that.

I would love to go skydiving. in fact just the other day I was looking through the yellow pages trying to find the nearest place I could go to.
