What's this?

Its a blast...couple tips


First quit thinking about the fear aspects and start focusing on the fun aspects. It will probably be the coolest thing you will ever do. Not many moments really grab you to where there is nothing else happening in the world but this. Jumping out of a plane is one. Freefalling is awesome. Enjoy it.
Second, be prepared for the plane ride. Its longer and higher than you think. One may be inclined to picture the plane going up for a few minutes and out you go. Nope. Its take a while to get up there. This is where the tension builds. There will be churning tummies among your seat mates. Relax and enjoy. Be that guy.
When the door opens and its time to step on the ledge. Woohoo. Now thats living!
