Saturday at SD Texas I had a partial canopy collapse then reinflated quickly. I flew through a dust devil. One of the guys that was behind me had a full collapse and fell for a little bit then his canopy reinflated long enough for him to land. Needless to say I was feeling pretty nervous. I didnt notice the dust devil till I was in it. Always keep an eye out for swirling dust and debris and avoid landing anywhere near them. -
Skydiving has always been on my list of things to try at least once before I die. So when in 1994 I happened to drive past Pheonix Skydiving (now called Chicagoland Skydiving) and saw their sign with phone number to call about jumping. I was so excited about the possibility of jumping that I called them as soon as I got home. They told be it would cost $150. I said "thats all". Little did I know how expensive this sport really is. I was very cocky doing my first tandem. Didnt even bother to read the waiver. Just initialed and signed it as quickly as possible. I was more interested in the training and getting up to altitude. I just wanted to jump. finally jumped what a rush knew I was addicted right away
thousands of dollars later here I am still jumping! -
Try both SD Dallas and SD Texas. I have jumped at both and found I liked SD Dallas best. -
My name is Robert Villalobos and I am a Network Administrator. At least thats what I do to pay for jumping. Its a lot of stress. Nothing like hacker movies make it out to be. -
