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.
For days before my first skydive all I could think of was the jump. It was really the only thing I thought of for awhile. On the day of my skydive everything seemed to happen so fast. Before I knew it I was out the door in the blue sky. I was immediately hooked… I knew right then that jumping from perfectly good airplanes would be a part of my life. Little did I know I would end up owning a few skydiving business’s. After leaving the military all I knew was I wanted to earn my living by skydiving. Thankfully there are enough people who want to feel what their first skydive will be like – that keeps us in business.
Everyone’s first jump will be special to them. There is something exciting and strange about stepping out of a working airplane. A tandem is the best way to make your first skydive. It is the simplest way to experience free fall with the least amount of training. When making your first jump at No Limits Skydiving, your starting time will only be around 5 minutes. Your job is to relax and enjoy your jump. You are attached to one of our instructors who will handle your skydive.
The best part of our job is watching your reaction during your first skydive. It never gets old watching someones face light up as soon as the parachute is deployed. People clap and scream and holler and every reaction you can think of.
We would love to be a part of your first skydive. Please join No Limits Skydiving up in the air soon for your adventure.
