 So You Think You Wanna Skydive! 

Pookaloki finally got her skydiving video on YouTube today and there were still people commenting on how they'd like to go...so...

At the end of this, I'll post links to the videos of three of the "Bloody Mentals" that jumped on June 1.

Each of our videos is a little different, but it's because of the taping styles of our instructors. I remember things from my jump that weren't in my video, but were in the videos of Oxy & Pook.

We used SkyDive Las Vegas in Boulder City.

http://www.skydivelasvegas.com/

for pricing, just click on the rates & options link on that site. I've also seen positive comments about Vegas Extreme Skydiving on here, so you can always check them out.

there is also a coupon available for SkyDive Las Vegas here: vegas4locals.com/coupon_skydive_lasvegas.html

The Videos:

Oxygenator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obpMPxC41QE

Pookaloki: www.youtube.com/watch…

So if you're going to Vegas and thinking of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, go for it!!!

Yes, Yes YES!!! Thanks for posting the videos! I don't know HOW I missed Oxy's, but I did! Now I just watched it! Another great view of your fantastic sky dive/jump/trip!

I just posted on Pookie's thread that I wanted to see Oxy's! hahahaha.....

No... I won't ever be jumping out of a plane (I might have back in the good old days... but I don't think it was an option back then) But I sure love to live vicariously through all of you. I can almost feel the wind blowing in my face in the videos!

PS.. save your money. I know if you come to Vegas in September, you'll be wanting to take another dive. :-)

MG...did you get to look into the eyes of the person who packed your chute?...that would be a deal breaker for me.

Enjoyed all 3 jumps.

It really is something that once you do you just have to do again.

Every single person who jumps always says Awesome, and so it is.

Thanks for sharing.

I just watched all three again as well. Fabulous videos! It really looks like a beautiful experience - just wish I had the nerve to do it.

Thanks for sharing =)

Z, nope. Didn't see who packed the chute, but still trusted them completely. I never felt scared for my life for one minute. And VIVA, I did go again later in the week. And when I can come up with some money I'm going to eventually certify and go solo! I loved it THAT much!

Thanks for posting all 3 videos. As a birthday gift, My wife bought me a sky dive package with a local company, so I'll be going in August. It's good to know what to expect. I don't know if I'll try it in Las Vegas though, I guess it depends on how my first jump goes!
