i love it bro i just started out, im working for my A license jumping in oklahoma at this time i suggest that you definately try it out wether you do a tandem aff or iad either way man its an amazing experience , its the one thing that i have finaly found as a hobby that i feel totaly at peace if you ask any skydiver its hard to explain to you the feeling you get from it theres no describing it however it maybe costly and if you really get into it you will have to piece your rig together from container, main, reserve which comes out to about 1700 to 5000 for a new one and can get very expensive but i definately say you should try it at least once. the feeling at first will keep you on edge for days because you always have that footing or ground underneath you just imagine it being ripped out from underneath your feet its sick cayen pepper definately suggest you do it bro!!
