I've done 1 tandem jump. Now I have a life goal of getting my license and jumping in every state lol. Yes I dream big

You are the best on YouTube at explaining the subject you’re covering, I’m a total novice, but after the year we all have had with Covid I realize life is to short to wait any longer to make the jump into this sport! Thank you for all you do!!!

I really enjoy your videos. I made around 15 jumps back in the day (early 1970s), at a jump zone in Kissimmee and several at Deland. I have at least one more jump on my bucket list which, since I'll be 75 in November, I better get to work on. Hope to meet you one day at the Deland DZ. Keep up the good work.

Great video. A few points on sizing. New containers are sized to the height and weight of the first user, so if buying used, you want to buy one that matches your size. And containers are also sized to parachute sizes. Beginners should be on lightly loaded (big) parachutes (both main and reserve), so you want a container suitable for a larger parachute and reserve. Your instructor or rigger can give advice on good starting sizes for main and reserve, and that can then be used to pick an appropriate container.

great stuff! i had to choose between skydiving and paramotoring, i couldn’t do both. I chose paramotors, but still love the idea of skydiving. it was so fun when i did a tandem.

Hey there Salvador! I'm a new jumper only 45 jumps total so far but I already know jumping will be something I do for life. I was wondering if you would you be willing to make a video explaining containers and canopy sizing? So, for instance, how many canopy sizes can one container accommodate? And what are the container sizes, are they standardized across brands or brand specific? For me this is the most complicated aspect of trying to find new gear to buy. Thank you in advance, stay safe and keep up the great content!

Hey thanks so much, Sal. I just got into the sport and finishing my 25th this weekend. This video was very helpful!

The VOG is probably what I would have bought as first audible if I could do it again, great for freefall and under canopy.
