brandon Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Some friends and I drove across the border yesterday to Tecumseh, Michigan for a 14 000 ft tandem skydive. It was my first time and will definitely not be my last. It was honestly the most fun I've ever had! I brought my GoPro camera along with me to record the day. I had it mounted to my chest for the jump and did some handheld shots with it before the jump. For those interested there's a photo of how I had the GoPro attached below the video...enjoy! <iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SkrxRsU735Q?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> My GoPro Skydiving Setup by bbroderick86, on Flickr Edited June 4, 2011 by brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandon Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Trust me guys I still can't get over the fact that i left the ground in an airplane and returned safely not in an airplane...but it was so much fun. Being so high above the ground you don't feel like you're falling...just feels really really really windy. Then as soon as the chute opened it was dead quiet and so peaceful. It's something I will definitely be doing again! Glad you guys enjoyed the video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 That was way cool!!! I would love to do that.... going to have to check with my buddies on who is interested. Question..... you went to the USA to jump... what about insurance? Is it valid if you jump out of a plane??? Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocoda Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Way cool Brandon ...Ill wait till i turn 60 to do it ...(just like my mother did)....the go-pro paid for itself right there instead of having to pay them to record for you ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Good on ya Brandon, skydiving is a blast! Unfortunately I could never get over the complete disorientation on exit, so I knew that it would be a loooooong time before I could go free fall without endangering myself. But I would go again in a heartbeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
