Let me know where you want to skydive!

Just made my first jump in Miami for my 70th bday... it was an incredible experience......will do it again....

Its not a hobby but its a mental health tool. The only reason I do it is for the free fall. I hate heights and hate the parachute ride down and I always have my eyes closed. The moment I jump I allow my mind to go into stillness and silence becuase I know my instructor will take care of me. I have done it 4 times in 3 years.

Thank you!! This has settled my nerves, now I can get some rest and get excited about my first jump tomorrow 🎉🎊

The stomach drop info was something I truly needed to hear. Loved how u google to see why. I’m feeling very more confident now that’s literally my only worry.

I’ll be skydiving for the first time next week with the US Army’s Golden Knights parachute team. I’m nervous, yet I definitely trust the expertise the team has. This video was incredibly helpful especially the information about the “stomach drop” feeling not being a factor!

My first skydiving, tomorrow for my 50 birthday 🪂, I’m ready 🙏💪here in Sylvania Ga!!

Going sky diving tomorrow afternoon for the first time ever, super scared by I’m watching all the videos I can to feel more informed (without clicking on the ‘gone wrong!?!?’ videos)

The most fun you can have with your cloths on.

I’ll have for my birthday which is May 2nd 🎉very excited ❤

1 st Jump in Saratoga NY. The scariest part for me was the night before, and the next day driving to the small airport. We were waiting, while other people were jumping, looking up at the tiny black suits falling from the blue sky out of view. Then when it was our turn, the door opening at 13 k feet, looking at the step, step away, chest out! (Class) It feels like you are flying, not dropping. While landing over a golf course, there was one guy golfing, parachute shadow coming over the trees. He made his best Pterodactyl , as we flew over the poor golfer at 8 am , he turned and never saw us . Can you imagine what was going through his mind in the club house?? lol Fear last seconds.. regret last a lifetime.

I am wanting to do this as a challenge to myself and my anxiety. I am petrified and prepping myself. I am worried about going into a panic attack but I know others with anxiety disorders have done this and I have faith in the whole parachute package and the instructors. I plan on doing mine at Skydive Arizona.

Thank you!

I watched this video in preparation for my first time skydiving and now that it happened I came back to share my experience! One of the wildest moments for me was when the door was slid open…and everyone on the plane just started throwing themselves out of it?!? That was my “oh sh*t this is actually happening moment” 😂 The freefall was pretty rough for me, there was too much pressure in my ears and I was panicking and struggling to breathe so I felt I couldn’t enjoy it as much until after the parachute was deployed unfortunately. And my last comment would be that if you can afford it, absolutely pay extra to have another person record your jump rather than just opting for a selfie video recorded by your instructor, the angle was so unflattering that I will NOT be sharing that video with anyone besides my most trusted friends and family haha. But overall…I would do it again!

i’m doing mine for my 35th. nervous but it’s been on my bucket list. thanks for sharing your experience

Thank you for breaking things down.

Skydiving this Saturday in Panama City, so excited!!!

Thanks for the video! I had a random dream about skydiving & now I wanna do it!

I have done several tandem skydives, most being in Ogden, Utah. I will say to those who experience clogged ears afterwards to just pinch your nose shut and try to breathe through it slowly. Do that a few times and that should unclog them. It seems to work for me.

Cool. Can't wait. Doing it tomorrow!

My first jump it was the journey up I was more scared of, as soon as we jumped I just felt at ease without a care in the world. Take all your life’s worries away and you just enjoy the moment. Can’t wait for my next jump. Definitely going to do the AFF course.

I agree with everything you said. I have jumped 3 times in the last year, twice in Moab Utah and once in Punta Gorda, Fl. and yes i would do it again

I booked my first jump with a couple buddies for two weeks from now. It's for my 19th birthday. I have never been more nervous for something in life. My hands become lakes just thinking about it. I'm comforted by the "no drop" feeling, however I'm still just as scared lol. Really the only thing to fear is fear itself. I know how safe it is and how good it should feel as soon as I leave the plane. But this is just gonna be something crazy man.

I’m doing it in the Caribbean the next two months and I’m already super excited, can’t wait!

Thank you so much for this video! I'm taking. My first jump in a few hours. Very much eased my nerves.

Your jump vid is so inspiring… thank you … I’m looking into diving in the nyc tristate area before end sept - beg oct (that when the jump season ends here) …. Way to go!

Agree with all of this after my first skydive yesterday. Great video!

I have my first skydive next week and I CANT NOT WAIT

Will be doing my first jump this Friday!! Have been wanting to do it for years :)

I’m planning on doing my first jump in Key West with my dad in less than 2 weeks… so excited. Thanks for sharing your experience 💙

Skydiving won’t mess you ears up. You should be able to pop your ears in a few secs no problem. For those people that said it really messed them up, all I can say is that’s most likely from having a head cold while jumping. Don’t jump if you have a slight head cold. That prevents you from being able to pop your ears. For the normal person, you will barely even notice it

Going skydiving with my wife in Hawaii in spring 2024. I already have butterflies in my stomach 🤣

Just jumped few days ago and it was AMAZING can’t wait to do it again

Thank you ❤

Iam going to do my first skydiving on sunday and im so excited also feeling anxious. I am sure i am gonna love it but my heart pumping badly when I think of jumping from the plane

Thanks for sharing! Im going today here in Charlotte, NC. I’m pretty excited and anticipating a great time. Just like you said…Im looking to get out of my head and into my heart…be in the moment. Peace to you and yours 💪🏾

Excellent. I did the same thing for my birthday. I'm ready for my next jump

Skydiving on the 2nd of June is the best! Queenly girl will appear, Lola approved 💖

Wow this was a great video!! I never ever thought skydiving was a possibility for me mainly because of the drop feeling which I hate and thought was inevitable!! Im also scared heights and nervous when flying lol but I’ve mostly overcome my fear of flying and I travel a lot now so I’m hopeful for skydiving thanks to your video!!

I'll be doing my first jump in the Alps next Saturday! I'm so excited but you made it sound a lot less scary than I imagined. Thank you!

Thanks for your nice and positive video. I wanna do it next week to welcome my thirty years of spinning around the earth and the sun but you can't imagine how scared I am and how many stupid thoughts cross my mind. I hope next week I tell you that I've done it and it was amazing..

I’m going this weekend 4/6/24 in atl with Mi Nina 😮 jump jump

I’ve been wanting to go sky diving so badd! But i know once im in the air I’ll “freak out” for a minute😆 Hoping i can do it this year!!

Well done on explaining! Everything you said is so true. The only thing you left out was the scariest part!

I am so glad to come across your video as I made skydiving reservations for my 36th birthday plans. I will be Skydiving here in Arizona end of May 2023. I’m so glad you pointed out everything I was skeptical about and this eased my anxiety and I have been watching skydiving videos for motivation since it will be my 1st time. Thank you for your honest review 🙌🏾💯❤️

My husband surprised for Mother’s Day with a skydiving experience. I’m excited and nervous. Thanks for the tips.

I’m going for the first time to celebrate losing nearly 100lbs! So excited

This is helpful! I'm thinking of tandem for my 50th birthday this year.

Hi there everyone! I live in Taupo New Zealand and did my very first Skydive on my Birthday last January; I was'nt even Scared, and it was fantastic! The second one a few months later I was nervous as hell but need'nt have been; this was the beginning of an Addiction for me. I have now completed Seven jumps; two of which were consecutive (one after the other); fair to say; "I smashed them"! I am aiming to complete a trio of jumps in December before Christmas. If any of you are visiting NZ ;Taupo in particular ,come do a Skydive at the Number One Tandem Skydiving place in our Country out at Taupo Airport; the Crew are so awesome and of course Super Experienced. I guarantee you will fall in love with the mindblowing views over Lake Taupo and three of New Zealands highest Mountains at the Southern end. Extra beautiful when in Snow. One of those Mountains; Ngauruhoe, was "Mt Doom" in Lord of the Rings. Check out Taupo Tandem Skydiving for more information. See ya!

your channel is amazing im subbing. Havent been skydiving yet but i want to

I recently did my first skydive and it was incredible. I was surprised about the stomach feeling as well! I pretty much describe it like wearing a VR headset while suspended from the ceiling above a fan 😂... very surreal experience

Thank you. I'm going for my birthday

Thank You for the video. You motivated me and I did my first skydive a couple of days ago, it was amazing. But confess that before the jump I was super excited. I have a video of my skydive in my channel )

Hi Cortney, thanks for the video. Does the small parachute, called deogue, decreased the speed of falling when it was openned in the first seconds of the jump?

I’m going to have my first skydiving experience for my upcoming birthday. Wish me luck! 😅

I’m con considering doing my first jump here in October

good video!

Looking at doing my first jump in 2024 thanks for the video.

This sunday in Germany 🎉🎉

This was so helpful! Very nervous for my first jump but I’m eager.

Going to DeLand on my 55th birthday for my 1st skydive

Hello beautiful people…if you are about to endure your first jump, my advice is to go at it with a completely open mind. Try to push away the world of shoulds: this should be this way…this should go this way….etc. When you get rid of the expectations, you get rid of the fear and open yourself up to both awe and amazement on your way down. This is a heart and head adventure: settle the mind, feel into the heart. Enjoy the ride up, and express gratitude on the way down. ✌🏾 ☮️ 🎉

Beautiful 😍 and brave

I had my 1st time 1 month ago (15,000 feet). What I felt was the worst was, for sure: control my breathing in the first second and more than that the discomfort with my ears, as it was super painful. That pain lasted for around 24h other than that I enjoyed a shit ton and just want to do it again - I have the vid of it, where you could clearly see me trying to control my breathing.

I have done indoor i- flying and there i struggled to breathe with all the air blowing from below. Does huge volumes of air blow on you and did you find it difficult to breathe? Second, can a 'passenger' opt for a helmet like the instructor? Thanks. Btw... awesome vid.

What about the impact at landing? Is there any risk of hard impact?

would you recommend skydiving for those who are afraid of heights? does it feel uncomfortable when jumping out of the plane? would you think that this experience is once in a lifetime? thank you for this, my boyfriend has been eagerly wanting to skydive since we started dating this year for when the time is right for us to be engaged for the next 5 years.

My only advice is you can prepare yourself but that drop and one minute of freefalling does not feel real! It’s like a dream

My 24th birthday Sunday, everybody did it on the theirs so shit ima do it… brb 😫

Hi great video! I am going in a couple of weeks for my birthday! I'm worried about nervousness in the plane before the jump. Any advice for the pre jump moments?

I'm going for the first time tomorrow I'm very nervous

I think I am most hesitant about the landing part. What is that like?

Great explanation of why tandem jumpers can not use their own cameras while skydiving. As a tandem jumper, the FAA, and USPA (United State Parachute Association) consider you a student skydiver. Cameras are a huge snag hazard, which could cost someone their life if things go wrong. They only want skydivers with experience levels that can correct these problems if they should happen. Any future tandem jumpers, please do not think it it the drop zone, or the skydive instructors are just trying to make extra money by not letting you jump your own GoPro. Please do not take your frustration with this out on them. I have seen it several times, and it is pretty sad to watch an instructor get yelled at moments before they take a "customer" on a life altering adventure. $100 is about average for video packages, and looking at the cost involved, most would think that is pretty fair. From the cost of the cameras, to the software to edit the video, to the time spent doing the edits, it really is not too bad. in my opinion, if you have an option to get video shot from a second skydiver, take that option over a hand held, even if it cost a little more. They will get your exit, and freefall from many angles, as well as your landing. Be safe, and have fun.

I wear specs...how will it affect my experience?

I'm doing my first jump tomorrow with my 13 year old sister! Thank you so much for this video!! I will come back to edit this comment sooner or later 😁

I love you.

Well, you will definitely feel the free falling!! Unless you are distracted by having a dude behind your back lol 😂 I like your video thanks for it. But not the part of not feeling the free falling 😮😂

Can I use ear plugs?

Sadly I’m in the US so I have to wait at least 3 more years until I’m at least 18

I'm going next month on the 22nd April, I'm absolutely terrified...

If you haven’t been skydiving, have you really lived???

Cool! Would you consider yourself an adrenaline junkie now?

I should stop watching skydive accident compilations... lmao im going in 2 weeks

I think the reason you don't feel like you're falling is that when you're an infant and are first learning to walk, there are always objects near you and you learn that when you fall, everything around you goes UP and YOU go DOWN. When you skydive, there are no points of reference around you (except the airplane) that are moving at a significant relative rate of speed to tell your brain that you're falling.

I'm going skydiving in July with my daughter and her best friend. I'm doing it to celebrate my 40th birthday milestone.

Thanks for sharing this, I was about to get a GoPro until you told me we can’t bring our own! Saved me that purchase 🙏🏼🥹

I will skydiving in 2 weeks! That will be in Croatia, pernincula Istra!. 🪂🇭🇷
