Making 1st Tandem Jump this weekend ... Any Suggestions

Recommended Posts

Nice video. You didn't look all that scared going out the door, but you looked pretty nervous in the plane. That's pretty typical. I'm still nervous in the plane. Its really cool that you're going for AFF. I've been following the thread, but anything I posted would have just been repeating what everyone else said.

It's a shame about losing the audio, the comments before, compared to the ones after are usually pretty fun. Did you say "awesome"??;)(90-95% at my DZ do)

If you are interested, there are threads in Photog&Vid that discuss the copyright issues and You-Tube's reactions.

Yeah, I tend to be somewhat of a 'nervous flyer' in planes which still puzzles me as to why I want to get into this sport. Still, I wasn't as nervous in the plane as I expected to be. The instructors and other jumpers were great at keeping the mood light and I was surprised that I wasn't more nervous than I was. On the good side, that nervousness gives me no hesitation in jumping out because I can't wait to get out of the plane!

And yeah, I think I said 'awesome' and 'amazing' about 3-4 times after I landed! I just couldn't come up with words adequate enough to describe what I'd just experienced.

I'll check out the threads in Photog&Vid about the copyright issues. ALL the YouTube videos I've watched of people's jumps contain copyrighted music, so I'm not sure why mine was targeted. Mine has been the only skydiving vid I've found that had to have the audio muted for copyright infringement. I was going to try to switch out the audio but all the alternatives they offered were horrid ... so in this case, silence was golden (I guess).
