I'm a first time ever skydiver as of 3 days ago. My wife, my brother-in-law and myself took the jump at 8500' with instructor assistance to stabilize and pull the cord. OMFG!!! My wife and I are now planning a trip to the Skydive Space Centre to make the 18,000' tandem our second skydive experience. From there we'd like to go on to get certified. I love this website ... everything I could want to know all in one spot. Good to meet everyone and I hope I get to know you in the future. Here's our jumps! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb3Et9bu_8s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0me9zE1GT4E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RO-kEuQYdY
