Know This Before Your First Skydive

[@pooky3672]

Great video! You forgot to mention the risk of getting addicted, becoming a licensed skydiver and saying RIP to your wallet haha

[@HaleyFunk1]

Hahaha I love this! My first one is a month today!

[@PAPA.-_RANJEET69]

😂😂😂

[@eden20111]

Wait so even thou you become a licensed skydiver, they still charge you for jumps? You can’t just walk into the plane?

[@crondawg101]

⁠@@eden20111 It costs to operate the plane

[@JEHD1983]

Just did my first tandem and i cant stop thinking about it!

[@jeltechtv4624]

Going to jump today in about 2 hours… let’s gooooooooooo

[@shubneetchaudhary5216]

How did it give man?

How was it?

[@roinatan9993]

Forgot to open the parachute

[@KEBinAZ]

I am 51 and doing my first tandem skydive on my birthday May 4, and I am petrified and excited. NEVER in a million yrs would I think I would be doing this. I have pretty bad anxiety but need to face my fears. I am doing mine at Skydive Arizona in Eloy. Sooo nervous but watching these vids has made me feel better.

[@N757QQ]

You got this! Your tandem instructor has a TON of jumps. They know what to do to make it fun for you. Remember, you ARE facing a fear. You ARE facing some pretty anxious moments (from the brain perspective). However, safety wise, you are very safe. Likely safer than your drive to the DZ (boy, that takes the fun out). Enjoy it. Be ready for one hell of a ride. I always tell friends, if you are doing your first tandem, book two. The first you will get on the ground and not remember much. The sensory / adrenaline overload wipes out the exit and most of the freefall. The second, you mostly remember and have a much better story to tell. Either way, I hope your skydive is as fun as you can imagine. Share the story! - From a newbie skydiver with 46 jumps solo.

[@rickclay]

This is after the fact but hopefully ya had a blast, I'm 56 and have gone several times and love it, now trying convince wife to let me go again 🤣

[@mariaTorres0802]

🎉my birthday is coming up in 3 weeks #51 🤗 And I ask my son to let’s do it.. but, 🤔he’s thinking about it.. but I have 4 (TIA) mini strokes and high blood pressure 🙁 but, I want to do it.. for Myself🥰

[@T215man79]

I did my jump in Vegas at skydiving Vegas on my 45 bday

[@youngfrankmcclintock]

How was it??

[@JewishKeto]

I’m can’t believe I’m going to do this…. I’m excited!

[@christos9586]

How was it ?

[@duanewing3008]

I was 42 when I did my first tandem skydiving! I wasn't scared at all! I had a spiritual experience! I also had the opportunity to control the parachute! I fly traction kites it's really no different!

[@misscandy84]

What hapoens if get on plane a cant do it do they push yu out anyways or can yy change your mind ?

[@jeltechtv4624]

One of the best videos and information out there!

[@HaleyFunk1]

Thank you so much for this! I’m doing my first tandem jump a month today!

[@Ryzobyte]

Have you done it yet?

[@instantkarma1636]

If your looking to do your first tandem, id recommend the video package. Its a fun experience having someone to interact with in freefall, assuming you jump with a videographer and not just a wrist cam on your tandem master.

[@SalvadorChangg]

I would recommend the video package as well!! Especially if it’s with outside video and not a wrist mount. I couldn’t agree more!! 🙏🏼

[@markrichards7164]

Best experience I’ve ever had.

[@ThatPartyGuyVR]

I still have about 3 years until I’m eligible to go but I’ve been watching so many videos about it. It just looks so thrilling and fun

[@SalvadorChangg]

It’s definitely thrilling and like nothing else in the world!! I’m excited for you to go on your first jump!! Interested in how it’s going to alter your perception of reality

[@ThatPartyGuyVR]

@@SalvadorChangg yo thanks man and yes I can’t wait to see what it’s like

[@agentcee1381]

I wish I had known before my first tandem jump that you can get airsick while floating down to the ground. It was a wonderful experience, but having to be mindful of my stomach to make sure I didn't barf in midair, was a bit of a distraction! I want to go again someday, but take Dramamine or some kind of medication to fix that problem.

[@rule1dontgosplat]

My tandem skydive was my intro to paramotoring. It got me started in the sport.

[@nebulaorion716]

im going for my second tandem soon and starting my aff course.. i want to make it a career

[@SalvadorChangg]

Best of luck to you!

[@JewishKeto]

It was the most amazing thrill of my life! I’d like to go once a year!

[@tahseenhashmi9999]

Thanks for sharing the information I am going for sky diving this will really help me 👍

[@anastasiafontes8740]

This helped so much! Thank you!!

[@capturemeinpictures]

Just watched this before joining Skydive Deland on my first tandem jump this morning!

[@mark33545]

I got so air sick sitting in the back of the plane facing backwards before the jump, ruined the entire jump! The jump itself was amazing but felt so ill I couldn’t enjoy it (except the free fall, i forgot all about being sick at that point lol. Didn’t puke but felt queasy and my head was nearly spinning. I have similar problems riding in a car backwards.

[@BrendanMahoney-jk7nu]

I did my first skydive jump last year for my birthday & I want to go back & do it again ,weather permitting !!!!

[@nabilwadi5562]

I just needed this video before my first skydive tomorrow

[@digitalnomad4888]

Hi man..Love your video..Im not a skydiver but becoming one is one of my dream..Hope you can make video about skydiving licence explanation and it cost..And video about when and how you started to work as a packer in Skydiving world as well..Realy interested to make a living in this field.

[@SalvadorChangg]

Roger that, just took a screen shot of this. It’ll be in an up coming video here shortly

[@mariaTorres0802]

Do i need a doctor’s note if a had 4 mini stroke.. and high blood pressure 😕

[@movingsocks579]

Yo I got a really good tip! Make sure your nose isn't stuffed otherwise mouth breathing is going to suck in freefall like my first jump...lmao.

[@soaringAnn]

thank you for all the information and playful presentation🙌 It definitely took the stress off me

[@gatorvision]

Nicely described! I'm actually sending this to friends who want to jump for the fist time.

[@SalvadorChangg]

Thank you for the support brotha!!!!

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

I can't wait to check out your DZ. I'm starting aff at Elsinore in a week and moving to FL next summer. Hopefully see you around!

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

To future self. Getting my B license hopefully March 19th! Hell yeah to future self commenting to self! haha

[@PunkRock.101]

Going may 7th. Excited and nervous lol. Cant sleep already.

[@SalvadorChangg]

You’re going to love it! It’s an amazing experience I think everyone should try at least once in their lives

[@PunkRock.101]

​@Salvador Chang Update, I did go! It was AMAZING! I just put a video of part of my jump haha. I want to go again asap. Hope all is good my dude!

[@bricksinthewall1192]

Cool vid brother...I'm pretty sure you packed my student rig last week at DeLand ...my buddy and I where there for our AFF license

[@SalvadorChangg]

Heck yeah, did you say what’s up? I hope you did. It’s always funny / great meeting with people in person who’ve seen the videos. Hope we talked 🤙🏼

[@bricksinthewall1192]

@@SalvadorChangg I did man lol...but I think it was that super busy sat and you guys were slammed inside the packing hanger ...we will be down in the end march ..I gotta finish my aff

[@Tru_lie13]

I have seen free fall vids before and it's always cool. I have my first skydiving appointment tomorrow morning... And I'm watching this and my hands got sweaty 0_0

[@joao83geosc]

Dudeee ! I had an idea for your videos ! Talk about weather conditions. Rain, wind and cross wind, sunny days and etc

[@SalvadorChangg]

Great idea! I definitely will consider it in the future🙏🏼

Man this thing is a huge rush i loved it i went to this exact place and they were awesome 10/10

[@cherrylisberto8573]

Best overview I’ve seen by far! Was a little anxious about my dive tomorrow for my 30th bday but I think now I’m more excited. Thank you! This was very informational and I enjoyed your bubbly personality! Great job man! Appreciate the work you do!

[@Gailsla10]

How'd it go?

[@aa-kv2pq]

​@@Gailsla10I'd guess badly like the chute didn't open from the lack of reply lol

[@Jose-hl8th]

It looks amazing and I’ve never been more happy to be over 220lbs. 😜

[@SalvadorChangg]

Haha you wouldn’t want to experience it for yourself? Why not?

[@Jose-hl8th]

@@SalvadorChangg Actually, yes. I’m on track to losing weight and YOU answered my #1 question; is there a weight limit. It looks incredible and I have a couple of friends that took this adventure.

[@misscandy84]

So yu do feel the free fall though more floating ?

[@DJDevious]

I have a question. How do they make skydiving accessible for visually impaired and blind

[@DayMcCArtSapphireandIron]

Just did my 1st tandem jump. I have a different experience than most...that's right! First, I went to the er today for a chest xray. My chest has hurt since the jump🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I have inflammation in my chest from jumping...If anyone can explain it, that'd be cool. I jumped out & lost my breath the whole free fall...it literally took my breath away. The chute opened, that's when I got barfy...thank god it was dry heaves...landing was good. I was left on the field after, as I couldn't walk because I was dry heaving. I wish it had been fun😂 I jumped from 12000 ft. Also if your core isn't strong, you'll really feel it thru out your body for days- week after.

[@nwsmoat2674]

Nice video :) I think you covered everything I would have liked to know before my jump ;)

[@SalvadorChangg]

Glad to hear it… now enough educational stuff… I’m about to be back on my BS with hit list jumps haha

[@misscandy84]

Ty for all the information sounds fun has anyone avared heights done skydiving ?

[@IDALBOE]

Also when I jumped for some reason I didn’t care about the height and I wasn’t nervous I literally had to beg them to go we jumped from 10,000 feet and did a backflip exit

[@SalvadorChangg]

Haha that’s so sick! On my first tandem I asked for him to do flips as well!! And yeah I wish we could have gone higher!! So much fun!!

[@loganwc99]

Bro I thought my TI was leaning out for the count buuuuuut she wasn’t. I stuck my head out pre maturely. Immediately began smiling.

Im trying to get the balls to do my first solo iad. I still have social anxiety because I'm new to my home dropzone.

Just be friendly and humble. That’s the best way to make new friends in my opinion. Especially with fellow skydivers it should be easy, our community is great!

Question. What is the cost for vip spectator to ride up with you?

[@SalvadorChangg]

Without jumping? Just ride the plane up and down?

[@mikebrant9932]

@@SalvadorChangg yes. Three of us are jumping on August the 6th I was wondering if a spectator can ride up with us watch us then take the plane back to the ground. I was thinking it was called a spectator ride or something

Nice video! The process is a little different in Aruba where I jumped! I also jumped from a Cessna 182. Thanks for the video bro! I can’t believe you bought a tandem skydive for the vid 😂 I mean I’d want to do a tandem for fun once in a while. Anyways thanks for the vid glad your having fun 🔥

[@razsel288]

can you wear jeans when you skydive?

[@SalvadorChangg]

Yes of course

[@anthonyrenaud5783]

it's all about them making money from you as far as them not letting you wear your own camera.
