yeah those r the prices with a person though (u have to do 3 of those before u can go alone) when u go alone its more expensive at most places [/ QUOTE ] I went last weekend and paid $235 for a tandem, the price sheet said it was $22 to go by yourself.

Re: Skydiving
I did it years ago. I went solo attached to a static line. It was a gas and I liked that after summoning the discipline to throw yourself out of an airplane at 3k feet nothing else seems quite so hard or scary.

To go alone your first time you have to do a ton of training. When you go tandem, they basically tell you "don't do anything stupid and let me handle everything". [/ QUOTE ] This wasn't the case when I went. Before my solo jump I had 3 hours of training, which basically entailed jumping off a 4 ft high platform into a sand pit and rolling properly. I jumped solo attached to a static line from 1500 ft above Lakewood, New Jersey. It was pretty cool floating down looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. I think it cost $90, but that was back in 1979.

Weak man. the first time I went sky diving I was up 18,000 feet. Had almost a full minute of free fall. Awsome experience.
