So, you might be wondering "Whuffo you jump out of that there perfectly good airplane?"

Our answer: Why Not!

Skydiving may have been started with the military as a means to transport troops and supplies to remote areas quickly, but from that, it developed into a worldwide sport. It is probably the closest any human can come to actually flying without the aid of anything mechanical, and for some people, the need for speed and the ultimate rush can not be fulfilled without jumping.

Does that mean that you have to be an adrenaline junkie to skydive? Absolutely not. Skydiving not only provides a good way to exercise, but is a great form of camaraderie and friendship between you and other skydivers. It's like an unofficial, world-wide fraternity, and no matter where you're from, what language you speak, what deity you worship (or not at all), all skydivers around the world have a common bond. They have done and experienced something that most people haven't, and there's a certain twinkle in each and every one of their eyes, because they KNOW what it's like to soar with the angels.

So, you may be saying, "I'm afraid of heights. I can't skydive!"

That's not true. The feeling of vertigo that you experience at the top of a building is not there when you jump. Why? Because you don't have a frame of reference. Have you ever been to 12,500 ft above the earth? AND looked down at it without being safe inside a 747?

Of course, if you're afraid to fly, skydiving might not be for you. And any skydiver will admit, it's not for everyone. Like any other sport, you do have to like and want to do it, or it's not worth it. But, if you haven't tried it before, why not give us a call and set up your first tandem jump. It'll give you a great experience in skydiving, in a very controlled and safe environment, and then you can make up your mind. You owe it to yourself to try it first.

And trust me, it'll be worth it! See ya at the DZ!
