Came tops in my skydiving class actually. Highly recommended, particularly if you get a fair amount of freefall. There's nothing quite like the feeling that you tried to pull a fast one on gravity and got caught at the last minute; it felt oddly like being caught staring at a beautiful woman. You'll have a blast; enjoy the fear. It's a taste you don't get tired of.

I was supposed to go a few weeks ago but it got cancelled due to mechanical issues. I'm pretty excited to go once I reschedule, it's been on my list for some time.

I used to be really into it. I'd go every weekend and spend all of my money on it. Eventually it got too expensive and I grew tired of driving 2 hours each way to get to the drop zone. It was damn fun though.. some day I plan on getting back into it. There was nothing like the first time I jumped solo without any type of supervision.
you'll most likely see a good amount of cute girls at the drop zone. You'll also meet a lot of oddball people too..
I'd highly recommend pursuing it as a hobby. Just be careful.. it's not an activity to be taken lightly. A lot of the time I was a bit too wreckless when I was in freefall.. being wreckless is fun, but obviously a terrible idea when you're falling from 13,000 feet in the air
