Did my first tandem jump for my 40th birthday 2 weeks ago. I am now saving for my AFF in May/June 2024, I am absolutely hooked! Skydiving is just out of this world 👌

[@Vertical-Films]

Awesome!

[@24934637]

You'll LOVE it! A friend suggested the idea to me a few years back. Now back in 1990 I'd done a static line jump and I swore that I'd NEVER jump again unless the plane was on fire....Anyway, this girl talked me into it, and I did a tandem, decided I liked it, and then booked for the following Summer to do the AFF. Got my licence about 6 months later (Did most of the course in Spain and finished off the rest of my consol jumps at my local club here in the UK). You'll make friends for life and have some awesome times. One bit of advice.....NEVER neglect to run through your emergency procedures.....It's not a case of 'IF' you have a malfunction.....it's 'When'! It WILL happen if you jump for long enough, so make sure that you are ready when it does. I'm NOT in any way trying to scare you, skydiving IS really safe, as long as you do stick to the procedures!

[@andyhwell8419]

Do it. You won't regret it. If money is a problem, talk to the instructors. They have crazy ways to work things out

[@miffedswift]

@paulmulks how did it go?

[@nixworld767]

Wow. I made my first jump in 1977 when I was 17 years old (made 150). In those days, we all used military surplus round parachutes to learn (squares were relatively new), did 5 static line jumps, a few "hop and pops"....and were on our way. The big skydiving movie at the time was "Masters of The Sky" filmed by the late Carl Boenish (i think it's on youtube). Another early skydiving videographer was Andy Keech. Those 16mm movies totally inspired me. But now.....it's amazing how the sport has evolved, and modern skydiving videography is breathtaking. I'm 61 now, and I really admire how far you guys have come in those 40+ years since my last jump. I still dream about it and relive the excitement vicariously through these films.

[@NpXAutobot]

You should go for a tandem jump!

[@irog]

love this movie! 29 jumps so far, blue skies!

[@efraimadventure]

Nice film. Strong Hug from Brazil. Jump from Rock of Onça - ES - Brasil. (Amazing Place) Time: 27:42 min. Life is short .. life is fast. Keep flying.

[@josephmichaelides1312]

The terror of the person who cut away to find the emergency shoot tangled got me 😂 that looks like a terrible situation to be in !

[@markvanlochem2160]

I feel these people so good,got a smile on my face for the next week thx!

[@MikeS-kw2hr]

Yeah, this puts it into perspective. Ive lived it for 26 years. No doubt the best days of my life. Hold tight, it doesn't last forever. The love I have for my friends will never die.

[@stereovind]

Such a good feeling after watching your movie. Home to find home someday to.

[@bernardgoh5307]

that place crash vid was unreal

[@michellemealey437]

So much respect for everyone who does this amazing ❤️

[@nomadgeorge2475]

What a great film, this makes me want to sell everything I own and move out there! Maybe after this virus thing blows over I might

[@Vertical-Films]

And that is what many of is did. Thanks for the compliment :)

[@naterlakes]

I felt the exact same way. Such wholesome people!!!

[@andycopland3179]

As someone who left their country to be a full-time skydiver and DZ bum, who started BASE in 2007... this was like a look back at my own thoughts and feelings throughout the years.

[@andrew_dublin]

Did my first tandem skydive four days ago. Was a 40th birthday present for myself. Thinking about applying for the AFF licence. Was so terrified doing the tandem. Might do one more before applying for the AFF.

[@Vertical-Films]

@@andrew_dublin nice one Andrew we fully support the idea of AFF it's the ultimate freedom 😁

[@Eat.Love.Skydive]

I’m doing my coaching jumps now and the feeling is something I never knew I could ever feel! Thank you for your video, I love it! 💛 It was the first skydive video that I connected with, it speaks of passion and experience no one could understand except the people who experienced it. Keep your awesome content 🙌

[@Vertical-Films]

Fuck yeh mate thanks for the kind words

[@blueyegirl]

This movie and soundtrack are very special. Thank you.

[@Vertical-Films]

[@gociii]

Great movie! Just keeps reminding me how awesome the skydiving community is. Fly free and forever :) Blue skies!

[@Vertical-Films]

Thanks for the feadback mate :). Feel free to share it around for us!

[@HM-wu3gh]

I have 250 jumps now. Loved this video. Speaking of danger I’ve almost been hit by a plane overflying the airport and had cutaways with line twist. But I will never stop this sport/ addiction/ way of life! Good video

[@BWS952]

Glad you're still here! How many cutaways so far? Blue skies!

[@arthurrd2306]

GREAT DOCUMENTARY! SKYDIVING IS THE BEST OF THE WORLD FOR ME TOO.

[@Vertical-Films]

Thanks mate, share it around so more people can enjoy :)

[@Plasticjesus504]

What a great video.

[@Rick-zp5sr]

The only issue I have with this video (At the time of posting this comment) is that there are only 1709 views.... This is an awesome video and I wish I could’ve watched more. Such an incredible work of art and a great representation of what family can do together. Far to few likes and views.. Keep up the incredible journey and thank you for allowing me to see a snap shot. Blue Skies

[@Vertical-Films]

Legend thanks for the kind words Rick! Give it a share on social media and maybe it will get some more haha :)@

[@jonathanguerra1976]

Great film!! Grateful to be part of this big family!!💙🤘😉

[@Vertical-Films]

Me to ! Im glad you liked it :)

[@josephmichaelides1312]

Temped to do an AFF after doing my first tandem the other day.. being terrified of heights I found it breathtaking (literally) and empowering! Will do a few more before I consider the course! After looking into it more I’m more worried about the landing and control of the shoot 😬 great doc though!

[@TMAC76er]

My face hurts from smiling so much. Love this video. And what a kick ass second family uns have.

[@mi6hael690]

Life shrinks or expands based on your amount of courage.

Patrick Mason I agree I love to share my passion between my REAL FRIENDS

[@MadBalmer1]

Excellent vid. It makes me reflect on my own reasons for skydiving and base jumping and has a good story with it

[@Vertical-Films]

[@fpvtrucker129]

Bill Dause was my 1st jump instructor in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1972 I think he has more jumps than anyone in the world last I heard loved for the 5 years I used to do it.

[@Ijumpandfly]

Amazing production❤

[@Vertical-Films]

Thanks mate there were a lot of awesome people who worked hard to make it happen.

[@fergusgorman]

What an amazing movie . From Scotland . Anybody know track at 8.30?

@20:34 where can I find that TedX Vail talk?

[@DAVECTC28]

Awesome

[@PimaArt]

So far I only did a tandem and it changed my life

[@skydaddi800]

What happened to the guy with the double malfunction?

[@northernrebel1375]

Maybe if you guys had used certified tandem instructors the fun would be able to continue.

[@Анатолий-ж4ъ7х]

Awesome! What is the track at 11:09? Can't find it anywhere. :(

[@Vertical-Films]

Take me home by Zenith. Yeah might be hard to find, we made the choice to get permission from all the artists to use their music instead of using well known commercial music. We spent a lot of time tracking down unsigned Australian musicians, and came across some awesome tracks :)

[@Анатолий-ж4ъ7х]

It was worth it! Best documentary of a year. Keep it up.

[@Vertical-Films]

Анатолий thanks so much mate :). Can you please share so other watch it!

[@joshuasefton5825]

What is the song at the 5min 30sec mark

[@jimday666]

@17:26 some Friday Freakout material there

[@hubbysswee]

Interesting. I was on a Lodi King Air many years ago that lost its port engine-in a right bank-at 1200’. That plane, same tail number, crashed in Hawaii killing 11 people. The incident was terrifying, getting back up in the air was too. But….we do it don’t we?

[@laurynasgiriunas4780]

Spent almost a month in Lodi. 5 usd and 15 usd jumps were crazy!! Of course got fired by Bill

[@toddishiamurchison]

Lodi is one of the most dangerous drop zones in the country. Most places are a hell of a lot safer than Lodi.

[@BWS952]

Was 19:23 an AAD activation??!

There is no black or white, brown, yellow or purple... It's a " FUN FACTORY ".

[@grahamlupton]

Drop zone owner is in jail now 😅

[@Vertical-Films]

Really!? Fill us in on the details.

[@grahamlupton]

@Vertical-Films my bad not the owner, Robert pooley one of the instructors who certified other instructors was recently jailed for 2 years for training people fraudently without a licence to do so. That drop zone has had 28 deaths since 1985 through bad practices. I believe the owner has been subject to multiple law suits because of these deaths.

[@Vertical-Films]

@@grahamlupton ahh yes I didn’t think Bill had been arrested. Many fond memories from jumping there, sad to see it is not what it used to be.

[@grahamlupton]

@Vertical-Films I've met people who spent a lot of time jumping there and I know for sure I would have loved jumping there myself. It would have been my kinda dz 😀

[@terminaltom1662]

Nope. there's safe skydiving, there's stupid skydiving, and then there's stupid skydiving with video and bragging about it.

[@gavin.d.m]

I've done two tandems and felt exhilarated by it. It's the best feeling in the world. Then to top it off, the piece and tranquility under the canopy. The danger is part of it; yes, everyone says it's safe to the tandems, but malfunctions and misshapes occur. 🪂🪂😃

[@Vertical-Films]

Awesome mate
