my skydiving video + first video edit

[theNEOone]

i went skydiving last week with a couple of friends and my g/f. 2 people weren't in the videos because they were on a different plane. my brother was also supposed to come (my xmas gift to him) but he chickened out.

Pretty sweet man. What program did you use?

Also, how tired do your arms get?

And you're my hero for using Lenny Kravitz.

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Awesome.

That's friggin awesome, as soon as I have a bit of dinero I'm definitely gonna try skydiving. How much does it cost per person for the whole thing?

 

[theNEOone]

i d/l a free trial of ulead's software, it was pretty easy to use (learned it as a worked) and offered enough flexibility for my purposes.

arms get tired? nah, you're not really thinking about muscle fatigue when you jump out of a plane at 13,500 feet.

and my g/f loves fly away.

check out 1800skydive.com for pricing. we got in on the $199 special, plus we got an additional discount because we got a group of five. it came out to about $180 per person. if you want videos/pics it's another $70.

Did they have backup 'chutes? The only way I want to try a tandem is if they have backups

I just emailed around a few places two days ago to get some pricing. Hope to go this summer

Cool vid by the way!

Was it all you had expected?

 

[theNEOone]

yah, there's a backup.

was it everything i expected? well, it was absolutely unreal - i cannot put into words what it felt like.

So definitely worth the $$$ eh

I'd go now but I'm 30 pounds over what they take here (they all require 220lbs or less and I'm 6'4, 250) so it will have to wait until I lose 30lbs (hopefully within 3 months)

yah, i would definitely set that 220 goal, less if possible. i was the one in the last video; look at how much i slide down the harness from the pull of the parachute. i weigh 200lbs.

was this anyone's first time?

So you're on top? Seems kinda weird to me that you're the one pulling the chute to get it out.

well, we're actually on the bottom, but we have the option to pull the chute. my g/f just had the instructor pull it.

this was everyone's first time, but definitely not our last.
