QuoteI think I'm too chicken to do it right now
M-
Try a helo jump first if you haven't done one. It's very similar to a balloon jump, but you've got the noise like a normal skydive. It might calm your nerves enough to do it. Trust me (an flyangel2 will vouch) the first balloon jump is like being a little kid standing at the end of the high dive at the pool. But once you get off, you're definately converted...

QuoteI also think I will have a very difficult time doing it....climbing over the side of a basket with shaking knees may not go well at all...
Yeah, it's hard to imagine. You see movie stunts and skydiving videos and think 'those people are WAY braver/insaner than I am. I'd never be able to do that.' And then one day you find yourself in the rumble seat of a helicopter, 9,000 feet above the valley, clambering along the side while the pilot hovers, and on cue you let go... and the helicopter becomes a speck in the sky and you think, 'Damn! Did I really just do that?'
When the opportunity comes along, you'll amaze yourself and do exactly what you did when you were doing student progression. You'll GO on GO!
I can't wait to do a balloon jump. I got weathered out of mine at Eloy.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Don't do it, balloon jumps suck! Infact, to save you, I'm offering to go in your place, I will gladly go and brave the danager myself, I'll take some pictures with a kodak disposable and I'll tell you about it that evening over a couple beers. But whatever you do, dn't do it, you better leave it to me...
