I've done a few static lince/solo jumps...not bad, but lack of freefall doesn't give that same rush as the first time
The PFF jump looks nice, but pricey...If it was my first time, I'd probably go for the tandem, but either way, it will be fun

Must be....
-under 230 lbs
-18 years or older
-able to make decisions in high stress situations
Will cost around $200 with taxes...
The solo jump has assisted chute deployment, so it opens when you jump from the plane. You only free fall for 3 sec, but those are gonna be 3 long seconds.... lol.
I think I would prefer this experience rather than being strapped to someone. lol

My buddy Mac and his gf at the time Tara did it.
And Tara is a scared shitless of anything exilerating... so if she could make herslef do it...
They had an assisted jump I guess... they were strapped in w/ a someone.
Both fucking loved it so much. The videos of their jump are priceless!
Still fun to watch when we drink!

I'm going to Skydive Toronto (http://www.skydivetoronto.com/) next weekend. It worked out to be $1900 for 9 people, with training in the morning and two jumps at the end of the day. I will let you guys know how it goes.
