Skydiving with My Kids

I finally made a skydive that included both my son and daughter (and daughter's boyfriend). This video shows the first formation of the jump from 3 different perspectives--each perspective is quite different. This jump was on Halloween but it actually made for a Happy Father's Day!
Music is "Rapture" by Ooyy.

Fantastic to be skydiving with your kids and it’s amazing to show that experience

[@genuinetrueblue]

beautiful sport, don't know why only so few people love it

[@KeithBarrowsToday]

Looking forward to getting current so I can dive with my son who will be starting AFF very, very soon. Next spring, if you make it down to Deland/Z-Hills/Sebastian, let us know!

That's AWESOME!!! I can't wait for my son to be able to jump with me, lol, only 7 more years to go... :)

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

It will go too fast so enjoy the wait!

@@ericbjornskyfun8098 You're definitely right about that, but it will be awesome when that day comes! 😄👍🏼🪂🪂

[@thewewguy8t88]

your kids are lucky to have such an awesome father as you.

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

Wow, thank you

This has to be one of the most epic and wholesome family thing to do that I've watched.

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

I never expected it to happen and I can’t wait to see where it goes!

[@thewewguy8t88]

i think this may be the second time for me lol. the first was when i saw a guy and his wife(doing a tandem jump(not with him but he was recording) and their 2 kids jumping with them.

[@adelardj7026]

I've never wanted kids till I saw this video. Now I could have them for that kind of moment, but it takes at least 16 years to make them skydivers, I so won't 😂 Anyway, that was an awesome video, seems like one, big, happy family!!!

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

Skydivers or not, having kids was the second best thing I’ve ever done in my life. First best was marrying their mother!

[@mrsch0pf]

Yeeeeah buddy, this is priceless. Love it! 😍 What a great experience you shared with us ✨

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@phutton88]

I'll save this for those that won't allow themselves to be vulnerable to the enrichment of taking on the first jump experience, because they have kids.

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

Lol. Modern skydiving is incredibly safe. Tandem jumps are even safer. Some people are just looking for an excuse not to jump.

[@thewewguy8t88]

@@ericbjornskyfun8098 yes i know what you mean. i do think many people seem to think skydiving is this really scary and even dangerous thing(do not get me wrong its still expensive and i think that holds back a ton of people as well plus it can be time consuming) but at the end of the day i think its worth it.

[@drewmortenson]

@@ericbjornskyfun8098 Yeah, the whole drive to my first tandem I was just reminding myself that the actual drive up there was far more dangerous statistically than the jump itself.

[@joehiden7475]

So cool to enjoy skydiving with the family. What a win-win situation.

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

Except yesterday was a little stressful. My son had diving line twists followed by a hung slider on jump 19. Cut away fine and stood up his reserve in front of the crowd!

[@thewewguy8t88]

yeah its a bit of a shame more families do not go for this but i feel like many people have way more priorities in life.

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

@@thewewguy8t88 Like what priorities?

[@thewewguy8t88]

@@ericbjornskyfun8098 I wonder that too lol

[@ericbjornskyfun8098]

@@thewewguy8t88 Maybe instead of way more priorities they just have different priorities which is perfectly fine
