i am defanitly going to try it out soon, how much does one jump cost?...i think for a certain amount of jumps you need to be strapped to an instrucor or something before you can jump on your own.

Ive done it once before, it was pretty fun.
It depends on how you do it on whether or not you are strapped to a guy. When I did it, however, we just did like 8 hrs of training then went up in the plane, went out on the railing sort of thing while holding on to this other railing thing, let go and the instructor would just throw the lead chute out for me right as I let go. So very little freefalling, but still fun. If you are "good" then by the 4th or 5th jump you can do it all on your own. Costs lots though, but I won mine, coincidentally at a comp at Louise some years ago now.

well for our first jump u have to do tandem or solo, the solo u only fall for 2 seconds till the chute opens, and tandem u go with an instructor on ur back and u fall for abour 30 seconds
so were all gona do the tandem so we get the feel of falling, cause 30 seconds would be so much more fun than 2 seconds imo
