Here are my four favorite still images from the dive. One thing I really liked about Skydive Utah was when I asked them about a copyright release to use on my blog, they said “These are yours, you can do whatever you like with them.” Its kinda weird to see the stills, especially looking down. You have too much going on to think about how high you are, but now its like…dang…that was pretty high.
If I had not seen the video, I would have thought you used your photoshop skills to place yourself in the photos. Ha ha.
Thats awesome! I dive to!!! I started in the Wind tunnel and fell in love i have been 7 times!
Very cool.
The topography is just amazing. The views must be spectacular! You are one lucky person to be able to be involved in such a thrilling sport.
My palms are sweating again. Jebus! It’s just PICTURES. Anyway, so, what is the sensation as you’re falling. Does it even feel like falling? I’ve heard it doesn’t. It looks like you keep eye contact with the instructor for a good part of the freefall portion. Does that help keep the sheer terror at bay? I’m not asking because I’m interested in doing this. At all. Ever. I know it’s one thing I’ll never do in my life, and I’m perfectly OK with that.
Let’s say I wanted to to do this strapped to someone else, like a professional, is there a lot of training involved to do that?
nope- In fact, you MUST, jump tandem the 1st two times. All that is required is to pay, sign the waivers (saying you or your family wont sue if you die/get hurt) and you can be in the air in 10 minutes.
It would be really neat to find out how much the skydiving photographers/videographers make$
Im guessing its probably $20-30 per jump, plus the free jump. The whole package to add video and photography was like $70, plus there was an editor, plus what the company makes, so if they divide it three ways, ya, $20-30.
