Skydiving Record Attempts in Virginia

There are many types of Skydiving Record Attempts that take place every year all over the country. The type of records vary greatly. The are records for the largest amount of skydivers at night, the longest wing suit dive and of course for the largest skydiver formation in free fall. The largest formation is where a group of skydivers leave the plane and attempt to all hold hands in free fall. This is one of the most difficult type of records to attempt for a variety of reasons. This type of jump requires usually 4 to 5 large aircraft that are capable of reaching altitudes of up to 18,000 feet. They must also be able to contain oxygen due to being at high altitude for a prolong time. The Virginia State record is currently 87 skydivers linked up in free fall at the same time.

My First Skydive

I have been involved with skydiving for 26 years. My first jump was at the age of 20 while in the military. Many years since that first jump, 26 years to be exact, I still remember that first skydive. The anticipation of my first skydive kept me awake all night. Of course, as soon as I woke up I was super excited. My main concern was being concerned about how I would perform. Skydiving was a bit different when I started,  most jumps were Static Line Skydives instead of Tandem Jumps.  Tandem Skydiving is a much better way to make your first skydive. You are attached to a certified instructor with thousands of jumps. With Tandems you are able to relax and allow the experienced instructor handle the skydive while you soak up the experience.
