Well done and very well said about skydiving. Skydiving taught me that it was fine to let go of control. I used to be a terrible passenger in a car. Now I'm fine with it. I have also let go of certain people, jobs, material things and locations that were no longer of use to me. Before skydiving I held on to these things for way too long. Skydiving also taught me that there really is nothing to fear. I've since gone on to do bungee jumping, passenger rides in proper aerobatic aircraft and wing walking all of which can be seen on my TH-cam channel. All this from a guy who used to be terrified of flying. I just got bored of being in my 'safe' comfort zone all the time. Many people are living in fear because they are not willing to step out of their comfort zone and realize that there is nothing to fear. Fear stands for False Emotions Appearing Real.
@@mireynafashionlover You will LOVE it! If you are fearful just try to relax and go through with it anyway. When you are at the door of the plane keep your eyes open. Falling out with eyes closed is a big regret for many. Also, when you reach terminal velocity and can fall no faster it simply feels as though you are floating. This is due to the air pressure on your body. It feels like you are falling through a thick soup of air. It is pure BLISS!
@@mireynafashionlover Oh, one more recommendation is do not have anything with milk in it before skydiving. Milk upsets the stomach. I found this out when I had milky breakfast cereal and milky drinks and then had a very intense aerobatic flight in a purpose built stunt plane. I wasn't actually ill but I was trying to be ill and that ruined my experience! Obviously do not have a heavy meal before flight. Keep it light like a sandwich and water or cola. Hopefully you will have a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Skydiving rocks!
Wow. Last fall I did four tandem jumps and I loved it but my mind twists things up when I panic. It doesn’t have to be a situation where my safety is at stake. I think I could probably be fine on a solo skydive when things go fine but obviously there will be ones where things won’t be fine and my brain vomiting all over itself while having seconds to make a decision isn’t good. Unfortunately I don’t think I’m cut out for learning solos as much as part of me would absolutely love to do it. You’re a rockstar to me!
I’m going for my first tandem on Saturday. I’ll be alone and impulsively booked it, but I’m just inspired by my aunt who always asked me how I was doing as she battled cancer for 4 years. She was 51 and died on the September 18, a week before my 32nd birthday. I’m ready for this. No time but now to do it.
@@Carol263Zim Like the video said, if you want to do it then DO IT!!!!! It’s an experience like no other!!! A fantastic, mind blowing experience!!!! And this is coming from someone that was terrified to jump. I ended up doing 3 more tandems after that. DO IT!!!!!
2 years ago I said to my mom that I wanted to go skydiving (i was 11 at the time) but she didnt understand how much i wanted to do it. She asked me if I REALLY want to, then I started thinking and I said no. From that day I was so sad because that was a ones in a lifetime opportunity (I was in New Zealand). I had already been in indoor skydiving twice, (one time in Norway and one time in New Zealand) so that's why I wanted to go. And I live in Norway and to go tandem skydiving you have to be 16 years old so i didnt have a chance. But this summer we went to Estonia and I jumped there (13 years old) because you had to be 8 years ago or older. I loved it
Yes, therapy at 14,500 feet! I jumped to face fear and I really feared skydiving! I’ve jumped 3 more times but I think about that first jump often. Maybe daily.
Bro I’m so glad to read this. I’m looking into skydiving to help my anxiety and depressed symptoms and this made me feel very hopeful for going down this road.
@@truthfulpurpose it certainly will. I am really afraid of heights I have flown in a plane so many times over the last couple of years. I could never imagine jumping out but life kind of got me to the point where I had no choice but to try. I was about a week from taking my life I was like a dam that was getting ready to break after years of frustration. I had booked a jump and backed out about a month before they told me they would hold my spot for when I was ready and there the day came. It was 80 degrees in Ohio in November the weekend I did it. It was if it was gods plan. It was clear skys no wind or clouds. I am 28 years old and I was a scared child the entire time going up in the plane was the scariest part and when that door opened my mind shut off at that moment and we jumped and I was even afraid. Your brain pushes out so many chemicals you just aren't afraid. I was scared again once the parachute was pulled but when I touched the ground I was recharged. I killed my job interview the following week and got a new job. I am still depressed but so many of the emotions were let go during that drop. You should do it. It is the ultimate reset.
Yeah for me i had to make my opportunity to go my first time. It had become one of my life goals to go skydiving. And yes I did have the opportunity to go but only because I was able to save up enough money and find the time to do it. Someone once told skydiving is no different from other hobbies out there in terms of time and money investment( sometimes travel is a factor) but even then if you want something bad enough you will do what it takes to get it and it will be worth it.
Great video! Can anyone help me find the song that plays around 1:34? I know it's Naive by the Kooks but I haven't been able to find this exact remix. Thanks!
After doing my first a month ago it doesn't change much. Just makes you want to keep doing it lol. However it did teach me what I can mentally get myself through and I will always remember that when faced with other challenges in my life.
I have not skydived................yet. But I have been in the tunnel and that, alone, has been a fucking Godsend getting me through this holiday bullshit as a retail worker. This in, like, the best anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication ever!

@@kcg795 love getting tunnel time- nowhere near the buzz of an actual skydive, but huge fun
I did it, I jumped 48 hours ago, how long does the inner peace lasts? I mean I’m a bit afraid of just letting go and its uncommon for me to just be happy
It's been two weeks for me and I'm still high with bliss! I can't stop staring at the sky! I'm going again in November. That way if I start to lose my buzz from this one... I've got the next one to look forward to LOL. Planning a third in March too
Jumped two days ago and still in awe and bliss. Nothing but presence. The anxiety that was is currently non existent. It was the ultimate letting go, and I'm happy to be amongst the self-healers.
Who would not like a man in Adidas track suit. After two tandem jumps I disagree a bit. I think that it is like falling in love and going to a date with a person who you are in love with. Excited, but a little bit nervous at the same time. On a date you are floating on clouds figuratively. In skydiving you are literally on clouds. And the break-up is less painful.
If you want to then I say what he said, DO IT!! I was very afraid of skydiving but loved it so much after the first jump that I went 3 more times last year.
Let me try to convince you! Get down to the Indoor Skydiving Center first. You will then walk into the wind chamber and you will be able to feel what it is like to 'free-fall' at head/chest height. With the fan beneath you pushing the air up through the wire mesh floor you get the feeling of the free-fall and all at head/chest height with an instructor in there to keep you safe. I did Indoor Skydiving before doing the real thing. Skydiving helped me to overcome my fears. I have now done three tandem skydives, 2 bungee jumps, 1 stratosfear jump, a zip-line ride on the fastest zip-line in Europe, passenger flights in fully aerobatic aircraft and wing walking. Nearly all of which can be seen on my TH-cam channel including the Indoor Skydiving so you can see what goes on there. Once you overcome your fears nothing can faze you.

Just jumped last week , watched this video before, and damn you'r right its life changing ! No dream is to big !
How do you feel these two year later?

i just had my 1st tandem jump today and now i know THERE WILL be many more to come, i cant wait to really get into this sport!!
Since your post is a year ago, what did you end up doing in this year with skydiving?
I’m going for my first tandem on Saturday. I’ll be alone and impulsively booked it, but I’m just inspired by my aunt who always asked me how I was doing as she battled cancer for 4 years. She was 51 and died on the September 18, a week before my 32nd birthday. I’m ready for this. No time but now

Yess!! 2 years late but I love LOVE this comment! I too impulsively booked a jump alone, going in 2 weeks. Stoked!!

To the 1 person who disliked this video. I’m sorry you’re missing out on the most blissful experience you could have
I don’t know about blissful, but the most awesome experience ever? YES!!!!!
This is the most amazing extremed experienced I ever had.. I cannot wait to jump again soon! This is so addictive and I love it!
This video helped me prepare. Spot on every point. Best day of my life, and for now, treated my anxiety in 5 minutes.
Yes, therapy at 14,500 feet! I jumped to face fear and I really feared skydiving! I’ve jumped 3 more times but I think about that first jump often. Maybe daily.
I recently went and everything you said in this video is on point. God bless
I’ve been hooked since my first tandem, spent an ungodly amount of money getting solo license and getting where I am now. Well worth it
Lol I’d never do it again but it sure made my depression vanish
I get addicted to things that I love and going on my first tandem Saturday. Praying it kinda sucks because I can’t afford this hobby going solo 😆
@@bluesky5384 so since yours was 7 months ago. What did you end up doing?
I hope to never have to do it again. I will keep skydiving as my trump card for my depression it totally reset my mind and I felt alive again,.

That's my goal this year. For my 40th bday. Super stoked and super scared but I want to do this.
Great video! Can anyone help me find the song that plays around 1:34? I know it's Naive by the Kooks but I haven't been able to find this exact remix. Thanks!
The super weird part is when you start feeling like 14000 feet isn’t really that high
Fantastic video - great message - I'm going for my first tandem jump next week - can't wait - even though I'm scared shitless!
I'm going in the morning 😊😊 I'm very excited.

Could you please share the music link you used in this video?
Hats off, your video motivated me to jump, and I did it 🙏🏼🔥✊🏽

So good!
Going in 5 hours. I’m not gonna boo boo myself until I jump out.
But I’m just gonna have an amazing experience with poop in my jumper suit 😳
I'm sold I'm doing it
Did you ever end up doing it?
my first jump is to day at 12:30 uk time
I did it and it’s fascinating .
Fucking spot on bro
Going for a jump tomorrow!
Trying it out for my 33rd bday on june 11th. Can't fuckin wait!!
What song is that please tell us!!
I definitely want to do it
If you want to then I say what he said, DO IT!! I was very afraid of skydiving but loved it so much after the first jump that I went 3 more times last year.

You could never convince me to do it.

I’ve said that before but I’ve hit that point that I realize there’s more to this life than working myself to death.
Well skydiving isn’t something anyone has to do but it’s the experience of a lifetime!!! Nothing like a first jump!!!
You explained it to the T!
Such a hard to explain sport
One cannot understand until they jump the first time. I knew immediately the moment we left the plane.
@@alchemicalsoul Did you end up taking it further after your first jump? I did 3 more tandems I loved it so much.
Bro did i win them shoes tho lol
What song is that?
Which song is in the background???
Oh yeah “First”
Okay Will Smith lol.
😮🥹 thank you 🤍
