seedless024 0 #1 January 22, 2014 i live in utah. i just recently got my CDL to be able to go out to north dakota for just over a year and make roughly $100k a year to be able to fund my skydiving. ive only jumped once (tandem) but it changed my life. the feeling i felt while up there was surreal!!! i felt like a peanut compared to the size of mother earth! i love to snowboard and ride motorcycles and always felt those sports put me in an "in the moment" state of mind... skydiving BLEW THAT SHIT OUT OF THE WATER! i have never felt so in the moment and like TRULY nothing else mattered!!! ive spent allot of time and money being able to go out to north dakota to fund my skydiving, ive ran into NUMEROUS set backs and been left hung out to dry. ive been told its not possible, ive been told i need to do something else... well im here to prove to everyone that im willing motivated and capable to be able to do this. ive estimated the cost of where i want to be in skydiving (wingsuit jumping) at just under $20,000 after all certifications and equipment purchased. which is where the $100k/yr north dakota came into mind. (im also $13k in debt from my vehicle and one credit card) i hope to gain knowledge from this site and have a few people explain some things i dont know so far thank you for reading Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingRhenquest 1 #2 January 22, 2014 Yeah, I reckon I put about $20K into my first year. Once you get all the gear and training out of the way, it doesn't cost as much, but it's still pretty pricey. I hope it works out for you!I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
