The simplest thing we can do to start our skydiving experience is to start looking for Drop Zones to attend. If you find a good Drop Zone for you, you can view promotional materials, most cases skydiving videos, in order to make a clear idea of what is all about, you can also meet the staff over at the Drop Zone. Good ways to find some good drop zones are to look in the Yellow Pages in the Skydiving Section, you can get their telephone numbers and call the stuff. You will be provided with all the information you need in order to arrange your participation in the First Jump Course. If you have a friend that loves skydiving and jumped before, a good thing to do is ask him what a good start would be for you too, what to pay more attention at, simply put, what to do. Also, for good drop zones in your area you can make a phone call at the United States Parachute Association, you can call them at (703)-836-3495 and you will be provided with a name of an drop zone near you. Drop zones frequently offer First Jump Courses each weekend. You will have to contact them to find out their scheduling. The majority of First Jump Courses will last for 4-6 hours. In general, a skydiving promotional video can be bought for $15. You will be able to see exactly what it's all about and what to expect. Also, you can find some great free skydiving information on the internet, some great skydiving sites are already live waiting to educate you from 0. Many people have some reservation for their first jump, all you can do is educate yourself about skydiving and make a good decision for yourself. Just visit a drop zone, watch some good promotional videos, meet their stuff and I could tell you your decision right now, but I will let you try this skydiving thing on your own. |
