i am just curious if anyone finds it relaxing.

[cazzercam 0]

yes, its the main reason I skydive.

jump out, and not have to worry about anything for those 50 seconds, just relax and not give a hoot.

and then you have to snap back and realise its dangerous as hell and the stress of life hits you with a hard opening :D

Absolutely!

Depending on what kind of jump, and the phase of that jump, I can be delightfully relaxed while jumping. In general, the more relaxed, the better a jump will go.

Personally, I find hop & pops to be more relaxing than freefall. Perhaps my most relaxed is a hop & pop from full altitude at sunset... 13 minutes of peace and quiet.

The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

that sounds pretty awesome! it does look like it could be relaxing but yeah i have never gone sadly :(. i would go in a heartbeat and i want to go so badly but yeah its just not possible right now but it looks like it could be relaxing although i cant say i know from other peoples experiences. most people i know i think have gone just because its on their bucket list kind of thing.

this may sound like a dumb question but what is a hop and pop.

Here's a link that will address a number of the other questions I saw you have posted.

Also, I should respond to your question here: I find skydiving relaxing, but not in the 'recliner'/'picnic' way. It is liberating and helps me to destress from other areas of my life.

Jump out the door and pull your chute immediately with little or no freefall.

Now go to the top forum for new users, introduce yourself and ask as many questions as you like. But just do it in one thread...ok.

Personally I hate fines.

Skyding is relaxing to me which is fine by me!

That is a fine way of looking at our fine sport of "skydivng".

I just wish they could fine a way to fine these new posters that clog up the website with a 1000 finely crafted posts within days of joining the website.

After a scorching hot day, in the middle of July, tons of running around the hanger, gearing students, work jumps, etc. Doing and shirt & shoeless sunset high pull with a bottle or two of 'gatorade' is about as close to the gods as you can get.

Woot Woot!

I find skydiving relaxing in the same way I used to find smoking relaxing - if I don't do it, I get tense.

In addition, I find being in small planes a source of tension, so getting out of them is instantly relaxing also.
