😂 whos scared of skydiving?? What could possibly go wrong? Ur parachute not opening? Ur parachute getting tangled?? Yeaaa im fine with that 🤣🤣🤣 I aint scared. Ive always wanted to go skydiving
I can confirm this lol. I used to be extremely afraid of heights, but skydiving was on my bucket list so I decided to do it and now I'm barely even afraid of heights anymore
@@MoSco5000 It really depends on the person because some Russians free climb skyscrapers without any safety net like a parachute or there's technicians who have to fix a wifi signal or a replace a bulb on a radio tower which can sometimes go to 2,000 ft in the sky.

I'm a climber, and this was a surprisingly accurate description of how you feel when you finish something that has pushed you past your comfort zone mentally. It's a surreal combination of relief, joy, and exhaustion.
I'm a climber as well. Some would define the kind of climbing I do as exceedingly reckless but I've never felt fear or that my life was in danger for a moment with a few exceptions of course. Idk it's like I was made solely to be on the face of the mountain when I'm there doing it. My thoughts stop, my emotions cease, I forget my own name and I'm just there, hands and legs and core is the totality of my awareness in those moments. It's almost ineffable for me to describe the feeling but man it's like I am the mountain do you know what I mean? And to clarify what I mean by exceedingly reckless is that I RARELY climb sober. I'll either smoke some very strong weed, or take a psychedelic and then I go out, completely alone mind you because I can't stand climbing with other people it makes me nervous. but yeah it's a very mystical experience for me and that's without the drugs. The drugs turns it into an epic that would rival the fucking Bible in it's profundity. I've been climbing like this for 11 years now, 4 times a year I go out and find a big mean fucking mountain and I just merge with it. Standing at that peak, looking out makes me feel like dying but in a good way.

That last quote "Th best things in life are on the other side of fear". That really helped me realize that the thing I need to do today, that I'm scared to will be done. I need to get past my fears.
When I went sky diving I was worried about myself. I had to excitement no anxiety no fear what so ever . And I thought to myself . I hope I feel something . On the plane , up high . Nothing . Strapped in , nothing . Seeing other people jump out nothing . It was only until it was my turn and the instructor jumped out backwards that I finally felt the rush ! Such a great experience !
yea…I’ve always wanted to go skydiving but I have a big fear of heights…many of the things I want to do involve being really high up….but one day I want to be on a plane and I want to be able to do this…even if I’m afraid…I overthink way to much so I’m afraid of what could happen if anything fails….I just need to trust….and maybe I can do it
When I went skydiving I wasn't afraid but my pro jumper was terrified because I'm so tall.This guys top head reached my mid back. We looked awkward because it looked like I was giving him a horse back ride 😆The whole experience was funny as F and equally exhilarating. Words can never capture what you feel, you'll have to experience it on your own but it's unforgettable.
Im 5'9, just a little taller than average. And yes, I was born female. The skydiving facility where I went had whoever was jumping for that day draw a card out of a bowl and that card had a number. Well as if skydiving wasn't scary enough already, mother nature threw a "little" extra ha, ha minus, at me. I literally mean Little because my pro was only half a man. I think I got duped. When I drew the number 12 I looked up, around and noticed all these strong tall secure and safe pro skydiver guys pairing up with their person and I didn't see mine. So, I called out 12. But I couldn't see him. That's because he was standing behind this counter bar reception thing, so when I called #, this tiny little thing of a man emerged from behind the reception desk saying: Here!! waving his stubby little toddler hand and I notice the# 12 pinned in front!!! I immediately fell my stomach sink to the floor and let out a nervous laugh. My friends, were of course dying laughing at me because the dude was 4 ft 3. One inch above being considered a midget. Pro 12 came up to me all giddy and look up with this huge grin. Almost like in a mischievous way cause, in his mind he knew.. this poor girl is shitting her pants!! I was shitting my pants, trying to keep my composure while internally freaking out. He goes: you ready? I nodded a little yes, then said HELL NO! And then began praying, Why God? why?. It was a wild and funny experience. Probably a one-timer for me but a must do experience for sure.
@@AlvaBarrlmao what a hilarious yet scary experience. I’m 5’8 and have always imagined a professional diver would be taller than me. I’d be devastated if I saw a 4’3 pro guy walking towards me for the once in a lifetime experience. I want a tall, tough dude to jump with. Their height and body comfort our mind subconsciously. I think that lottery system is bullsh*t. The divers should be paired up according to the height of us normal folks. Better luck next time, hope you get a 6 feet tall dude lmao.
@@kairos116OMG, that's was me lol! I'm between 5'8 or 9 and my pro jumper was tops 4'3!! Not only was I carrying this little man on my back but I had a ponytail on that day so when we jumped off the plane my ponytail went crazy in this whipping circular motion slapping the poor guys face the whole way down. I have the video and I'm dying everytime I see it because you can see the guy making all these squinting ouch faces every time my ponytail came around and gave him a stinging whip or slap to his face. I think he was happier than me to have touched ground to put an end to the abusive hair beating he had to endure. Also, we were the only ones to fall forward when we landed because I already had half of my legs on the ground before his feet touched down. The entire experience, section by section was fn hilarious!! 😂🤣 🤣But I would do it again in a heart beat ♥
@@AlvaBarr hahaha. He definitely had to endure some tight slaps at that height. I guess the first thing he said to himself after landing, would be "Never again". This height situation would be his worst nightmare lmao.
I fear Death, so if God placed the best parts of life to the other parts of fear, and I committed suicide, does that mean I'll go somewhere great? Genuinely asking.
Been scared of heights for as long as I can remember. When I went skydiving for the first time I somehow really wasn't scared of the height. The earth was so far away it didn't affect me at all. The first few seconds after jumping out of the plane were absolutely mental
A lot of people mistake height vertigo for a fear of heights. You can't get vertigo in a plane since all of your senses recognise that you're in motion, so you won't feel dizzy or anything like that. Whereas if you're on top of a building looking down, your senses get a conflict on whether you're moving or not which causes that dizzy spinning feeling that makes you want to sit down. In fact because the plane is already traveling at speed, you won't even feel your stomach turn, you won't have a loss of breath and you won't feel like you're falling. As opposed to something like bungee jumping where you're rapidly accelerating to terminal velocity from 0mph. You will definitely feel all of those things. It's pretty cool.
@@bakersmileyface very true! Although I don't get a spinny dizzy feeling on top of a building. For me it's when either the floor isn't a fixed object and I am at a reasonable height off the floor or when I have to get from point a to b with a challenging path, for instance climbing a tree with only a few of those wooden planks nailed to the tree. I can handle a few meters, but any higher and I just freeze up. My body is rejecting my mind when it tells it to climb higher. Or like when I have to do some work where I have to use one of those platforms that you can manoeuvre around and then go straight up and down. It's not the up and down part that gets to me, it's when the platform is raised and I have to move around and the whole things starts wobbling in every direction. I don't get dizzy, disoriented or anything. It's just my body turning into a block of concrete, not able to move an inch.
@@followeroftheway8454 I've flown before so that wasn't a problem at all. Once up there it wasn't that bad, too high for me to be worried about the height. First few seconds of the jump were the most intense as you feel yourself just fall faster and faster
I literally skydived for the first time today it was amazing!!! 14,000ft, I’ve never been in a plane before, it was an insane feeling and rush!!! Im only doing one more tandem then going by myself! God I loved it
Well ... you have done something I haven't ... yet. I did go paragliding about twenty years ago, which I will always remember as a highlight in my life.
I am thankful for my dad. He made me uncomfortable with things I feared. Heights, rejection, snakes. He made me learn that peace you feel when you flip the hold the fear has on you.
On my dive the spirit of the whole crew cheering you up was so calming. It was full of joy and pure excitement. I really suggest everyone to atleast try it once...Maybe you stick to it or you dont, but it is definitely a lifetime experience worth living.👌
I'm not scared of the fall for the jump, I'm terrified on relying on another person when my life depends on them. Edit: For the record, I wouldn't trust myself to be able to do it either ☠️
No hon. It's an adrenaline rush and it is addictive. This guy is sort of telling you to get a shot, get high and excuse yourself by telling you this is what God wants from you.
@@famprima ikr if max danger=min fear than why doesn't min danger=max fear make sense? oh yea cuz we have fear to survive. "people grab on three" because they are scared for their life, confronting that fear+adrenaline rush=feelz gud
No its not true, some things come after fear, some during and some never It's actually quite a prejudiced statement (probably one of the less important but still important social issues) It's Extrovertism bias, but that statement assumes thay introverts wouldn't be able to Live a fulfilling life (research suggests that introverts are more fulfilled and is a big reason they don't need to do all the exciting things extroverts do) this isn't the case Life is a multifaceted thing there is no one way, and to assume so is a form of ignorance, benevolent sure, but that doesn't mean helpful
@@Sip_Dhit at last!! Someone with some intelligence within this comment section. And unrelated to your comment but I feel I need to express it, one of the above reply’s is implying someone is a sheep for not agreeing with the statement, yet I’d say the real sheep are all the ones preaching “omg so true, yeah we should live like this” fear isnt something to be ignored, it’s a natural response from our body to protect us, one day the other side of fear for someone may be a man pointing a loaded gun at them, bet they won’t think it’s “the best things in life” at that point.
Went skydiving right when I turned 18 since I always had this fear of heights. The funny was as I was on the plane they had to call it due to the weather. Second time I was shitting bricks but honestly glad I did super exhilarating and the view alone is definitely worth it
@@TheTruthKiwi Its only good their theres no disease no death no sadness no anxiety no depression no negative anything. Seems like a good place to me 🤷♂️
You don't necessarily have to go skydiving in order to experience the message that Will Smith is trying to make. It's the principle behind the message for ultimate success within, of each and every individual. Are you willing to jump and take the plunge for your dreams, no matter how scary it might seem? It's the message within the message. Thank you Austin for the video with Will Smith voice over. The message is extremely beautiful between the video and the Will Smith motivational speech. God bless
I love how he narrated how the point of maximum danger is the point of minimum fear and that God placed the best things in life on the other side of fear. 🔥🔥
I went skydiving for my 18th birthday. It was absolutely amazing! And I would do it again. It was definitely a little to close for comfort in the plane and being strapped to someone who literally determines if you land safely or not. It is such an adrenaline rush and once your out of the plane, you lose all fear and it become amazing!❤️
I have always wanted to skydive 🪂 but I just can’t get over the fear of jumping from the plane and falling until the parachute opens. Maybe one day I can conquer this and give it a shot!🙏🏾
I sky dived once I did not feel the same way I was crying a was literally holding on so tight and when we got to the ground I wouldn’t move for a minute and they had to check on me.
Ever been to Cedar Point? (The only good part of Ohio, lol) They have/had (not sure if it’s still there) an attraction called the Ripcord. Closest thing you’ll get to skydiving at about 1/20th the height.
@@deniseyoung2988 I want to. But I don’t have my license. I’ve been putting off getting them for years now😀 I don’t want to drive. But I also have to get to college, which my parents currently drive me🥲 I’ll be getting them soon.
@@lauender when it comes to driving.. 1. Millions of people do it. If they can do it so can you. What 1 man can do, another can do. 2. You don't need a license to go sky diving. Sorry if I'm confused
That part where he said, God placed the best things in life on the other side of fear for years, I had such a fear of withdrawal that I stayed enslaved to the drug OxyContin. It was only after facing down the awful fear that I realized fear was the hardest part of it all. Once I slowed down on the medication, my anxiety decreased. My energy decreased also, but my joy began to soar to new heights.
If you are scared of skydiving, i recommend finding a very open, straight road in a car that can go over 120mph. Do a top speed run in your car. If your car can go over 120 mph, youll have already gone faster than you will during your skydive. Ive done multiple top speed runs in my car (145 mph), and my very first skydive was an absolute breeze.
Thank you for creating this video! I have to do a page of someone going on their first skydive for school and this helped so much. The way you describe everything is just so detailed
The hardest part is the initial anticipation. But what was said about the second after rolling out the door is absolutely true. The adrenaline dump after landing is pretty awesome too.
Going skydiving has always been a dream of mine. I’ve been asking my friends if they will go with me and they all said no but one. So I can’t wait till I can afford it
Random internet confession: I skydived once, was awesome! I remember two things clearly: (1) looking up and seeing the sun between my feet as we fell, then looking up and seeing the earth. Wasn’t disorientating, felt peaceful, and (2) after pulling the chute and looking down and the drop beneath my feet, was pretty terrifying realizing my life depended on the two metal caribiners. Also my aunt was learning skydiving from a dude in the 70s and on their 15th jump his chute didn’t deploy correctly and he died but she landed fine. She quit after that. I called her a pussy after I jumped but neither she nor I jumped again. I feel like she still has it over on me but I’ll never tell her that.
idgaf how blissful skydiving is, i will never in my whole life jump out of an airplane. thats insane. its cool to see other people do it but i can just feel the knot in my stomach simply from watching
Fear is an irrational emotion. It's an experience you'll always remember and the fact that if you can do it, imagine what other feats you could conquer. Put it on your bucket list...I dare you!
@@alfredallen3350 Fear is whats kept humans alive for thousands of years. There's a reason people are afraid of things. Even with how safe things are now, accidents still happen.
Never done skydiving, but I’ve done paragliding for many years. I love it shouldn’t be afraid of heights afraid of anything just enjoy it. Life’s too short.😂
This is why motorcycles are my zen place. Letting go of the fear of so many things that can go wrong and enjoying the ride is amazing. Pushing your skills further and further till you can do amazing things. Learning is scary. First solo ride is scary. First traffic situation is scary. First rain ride is scary 1st time on the interstate is super scary. But conquering those is amazing.
Until you have 3 pals dead from motorcycle accidents and 1 dead from a parachute that didn’t open correctly.. That’s my reality. It’s not fear that keeps me away from these activities. It’s the fact that the risk is too high and my girl wants me home every night, not cold and dead like my friends who “embraced fear” are.
@@satanslittlehelper9677 i have noticed the increase in bad drivers. Honestly the motorcycle is 2nd priority. Mainly want a car, so if I buy it there won't be any need for a bike. Even then a bike was just a thought.
So true..that's what I have learned .I live God I'm not traditional but I research alit if religious practices..to me god is compassion and love ...he has helped me grow as a person throu almost dying family members passing and a drug issue. He's helped me alot.. pure love ..if I'm willing to accept it
No thanks.. my Friend was an instructor his last jump the person he was taking down died on impact and he's paralyzed for life.. even the pros can have problems, he had done thousands of jumps.. all it took was that last one to change his life and the family of the deceased.
I did this a few years back. It was one of the most satisfying experiences I've ever had. I will do it again, hopefully soon. Its not for everyone but if you are up to it I say go for it.
When people haven’t faced real fear, trauma, and adversity they go seek safe, controlled versions of it out. Sky diving, spelunking, storm chasing. How many combat veterans did this?
I understand exactly what you're saying...a soldier or combat vet would likely find skydiving boring or would know exactly what to expect and enjoy it...whereas people who have never felt that intense life or death internal struggle,seek that intensity in a safe way
"and then you realize" That you wasted every single second of one of the most amazing experience in your life, by getting you in frame of the camera instead of enjoying the moment
wow, such a powerful message. I just want yall to know that Jesus loves u so much that he died on the cross for u so that u can go to heaven instead of hell 😁
Powerful message? This is some white bread asshole making something out if nothing. He fell through the air I want someone to edit this dialogue over someone falling off a huge ladder in slow-mo.
absolutely right, most blissful ever. I jumped for 5yrs, unfortunately I had a very bad accident and broke my legs and severely hurt my back. I recovered after a very long time. I’m a father now and dream of doing it again, my 6yr old daughter watches my videos and always says she wants to jumps. My dream one day is to jump with her. I’m not gonna lie but I’m frightened, I thought I was dead that day of my accident. God give me strength to get back up there.
My nana always wanted to go skydiving but had gotten cancer for the 3rd time. She beat it, again, so me, my mom, uncle and nana did a 30,000 jump for my her 74th birthday 🤙🏼 it was such an amazing experience
My brother and his wife did the tandom sky diving a few years ago,and they loved it! He said it was really scary at first but once they jumped he said it felt like he was just floating, UNTIL...they pulled the chute!! He said that was the best part, getting pulled upwards at 80mph!🤔🤔🤔❤
Whatever has you anchored to the ground. Let it go so you can learn how to fly. when you take one step God takes 10. Together there is nothing impossible for you.
Don't be afraid to take chances in life. Our journey on this earth is a limited one. You dont want to wake up one day and wish you could have tried this or you could have tried that. If you have a shred of curiosity, then follow it. It's not everyday that life presents you with opportunity. Don't let fear be your deciding factor in life. Life is scary sometimes but you can't let that stop you from enjoying it. Live your life for the memories, don't just let life pass you by. If you have inspirations then follow them. If you have dreams then live them. Live the life you want to live

Well as if skydiving wasn't scary enough already, mother nature threw a "little" extra ha, ha minus, at me. I literally mean Little because my pro was only half a man. I think I got duped. When I drew the number 12 I looked up, around and noticed all these strong tall secure and safe pro skydiver guys pairing up with their person and I didn't see mine. So, I called out 12. But I couldn't see him. That's because he was standing behind this counter bar reception thing, so when I called #, this tiny little thing of a man emerged from behind the reception desk saying: Here!! waving his stubby little toddler hand and I notice the# 12 pinned in front!!! I immediately fell my stomach sink to the floor and let out a nervous laugh. My friends, were of course dying laughing at me because the dude was 4 ft 3. One inch above being considered a midget. Pro 12 came up to me all giddy and look up with this huge grin. Almost like in a mischievous way cause, in his mind he knew.. this poor girl is shitting her pants!! I was shitting my pants, trying to keep my composure while internally freaking out. He goes: you ready? I nodded a little yes, then said HELL NO! And then began praying, Why God? why?. It was a wild and funny experience. Probably a one-timer for me but a must do experience for sure.
@@AlvaBarrlmao what a hilarious yet scary experience. I’m 5’8 and have always imagined a professional diver would be taller than me. I’d be devastated if I saw a 4’3 pro guy walking towards me for the once in a lifetime experience. I want a tall, tough dude to jump with. Their height and body comfort our mind subconsciously. I think that lottery system is bullsh*t. The divers should be paired up according to the height of us normal folks. Better luck next time, hope you get a 6 feet tall dude lmao.
@@kairos116OMG, that's was me lol! I'm between 5'8 or 9 and my pro jumper was tops 4'3!! Not only was I carrying this little man on my back but I had a ponytail on that day so when we jumped off the plane my ponytail went crazy in this whipping circular motion slapping the poor guys face the whole way down. I have the video and I'm dying everytime I see it because you can see the guy making all these squinting ouch faces every time my ponytail came around and gave him a stinging whip or slap to his face. I think he was happier than me to have touched ground to put an end to the abusive hair beating he had to endure. Also, we were the only ones to fall forward when we landed because I already had half of my legs on the ground before his feet touched down. The entire experience, section by section was fn hilarious!! 😂🤣 🤣But I would do it again in a heart beat ♥
@@AlvaBarr hahaha. He definitely had to endure some tight slaps at that height. I guess the first thing he said to himself after landing, would be "Never again". This height situation would be his worst nightmare lmao.

That was amazing how you converted your story into a message. Well done 🙏
That's will Smith's speech
Been scared of heights for as long as I can remember. When I went skydiving for the first time I somehow really wasn't scared of the height. The earth was so far away it didn't affect me at all. The first few seconds after jumping out of the plane were absolutely mental
A lot of people mistake height vertigo for a fear of heights. You can't get vertigo in a plane since all of your senses recognise that you're in motion, so you won't feel dizzy or anything like that. Whereas if you're on top of a building looking down, your senses get a conflict on whether you're moving or not which causes that dizzy spinning feeling that makes you want to sit down.
In fact because the plane is already traveling at speed, you won't even feel your stomach turn, you won't have a loss of breath and you won't feel like you're falling. As opposed to something like bungee jumping where you're rapidly accelerating to terminal velocity from 0mph. You will definitely feel all of those things.
It's pretty cool.
@@bakersmileyface very true! Although I don't get a spinny dizzy feeling on top of a building. For me it's when either the floor isn't a fixed object and I am at a reasonable height off the floor or when I have to get from point a to b with a challenging path, for instance climbing a tree with only a few of those wooden planks nailed to the tree. I can handle a few meters, but any higher and I just freeze up. My body is rejecting my mind when it tells it to climb higher. Or like when I have to do some work where I have to use one of those platforms that you can manoeuvre around and then go straight up and down. It's not the up and down part that gets to me, it's when the platform is raised and I have to move around and the whole things starts wobbling in every direction. I don't get dizzy, disoriented or anything. It's just my body turning into a block of concrete, not able to move an inch.
How did you even get in the plane in the first place? Or even walk out of the door into the sky!!! Wow!!
@@followeroftheway8454 I've flown before so that wasn't a problem at all. Once up there it wasn't that bad, too high for me to be worried about the height. First few seconds of the jump were the most intense as you feel yourself just fall faster and faster
I literally skydived for the first time today it was amazing!!! 14,000ft, I’ve never been in a plane before, it was an insane feeling and rush!!! Im only doing one more tandem then going by myself! God I loved it
Well ... you have done something I haven't ... yet. I did go paragliding about twenty years ago, which I will always remember as a highlight in my life.
You've never been in a plane and you just jumped right out of it?! Damn Girl, get it
@@WanderingExistence thank you!!!!! I wanna get licensed in it! It was so fun!!!!
If they let you go solo after 2 tandems, report them to the police
@@1physics They let you go solo after one tandem but they hold onto your gear. Call down they know what they’re doing thank you ;)
aw seeing them together at the end warmed my heart. she’s gotta be so exhilarated and thankful they made it out safe
I am thankful for my dad. He made me uncomfortable with things I feared. Heights, rejection, snakes. He made me learn that peace you feel when you flip the hold the fear has on you.
On my dive the spirit of the whole crew cheering you up was so calming. It was full of joy and pure excitement. I really suggest everyone to atleast try it once...Maybe you stick to it or you dont, but it is definitely a lifetime experience worth living.👌
I'm not scared of the fall for the jump, I'm terrified on relying on another person when my life depends on them.
Edit: For the record, I wouldn't trust myself to be able to do it either ☠️
I’d be more terrified if I had to jump instead of someone else jumping for me, seems like it’d be hard to jump when I’m looking at my death 😭
What
Well to be an instructor like that they need HUNDREDS of jumps completed
Make sure they have their proper qualifications
Doesn't matter if you don't care about dying, atleast you don't die alone this way. 🤪
"God placed the best things on the other side of fear" i NEED to start living by this

No its not true, some things come after fear, some during and some never
It's actually quite a prejudiced statement (probably one of the less important but still important social issues)
It's Extrovertism bias, but that statement assumes thay introverts wouldn't be able to Live a fulfilling life (research suggests that introverts are more fulfilled and is a big reason they don't need to do all the exciting things extroverts do) this isn't the case
Life is a multifaceted thing there is no one way, and to assume so is a form of ignorance, benevolent sure, but that doesn't mean helpful
@@Sip_Dhit at last!! Someone with some intelligence within this comment section.
And unrelated to your comment but I feel I need to express it, one of the above reply’s is implying someone is a sheep for not agreeing with the statement, yet I’d say the real sheep are all the ones preaching “omg so true, yeah we should live like this” fear isnt something to be ignored, it’s a natural response from our body to protect us, one day the other side of fear for someone may be a man pointing a loaded gun at them, bet they won’t think it’s “the best things in life” at that point.
Now when we go skydiving we will make sure to start holding on when he counts to 2
They don't go on two, they go on three.
Went skydiving right when I turned 18 since I always had this fear of heights. The funny was as I was on the plane they had to call it due to the weather. Second time I was shitting bricks but honestly glad I did super exhilarating and the view alone is definitely worth it
Does the fall feel like a constant roller coaster drop? Like the big drop when the roller coaster starts

You don't necessarily have to go skydiving in order to experience the message that Will Smith is trying to make. It's the principle behind the message for ultimate success within, of each and every individual. Are you willing to jump and take the plunge for your dreams, no matter how scary it might seem? It's the message within the message.
Thank you Austin for the video with Will Smith voice over.
The message is extremely beautiful between the video and the Will Smith motivational speech. God bless
nah you got to skydive
I love how he narrated how the point of maximum danger is the point of minimum fear and that God placed the best things in life on the other side of fear. 🔥🔥

I went skydiving for my 18th birthday. It was absolutely amazing! And I would do it again. It was definitely a little to close for comfort in the plane and being strapped to someone who literally determines if you land safely or not. It is such an adrenaline rush and once your out of the plane, you lose all fear and it become amazing!❤️

I have always wanted to skydive 🪂 but I just can’t get over the fear of jumping from the plane and falling until the parachute opens. Maybe one day I can conquer this and give it a shot!🙏🏾
I sky dived once I did not feel the same way I was crying a was literally holding on so tight and when we got to the ground I wouldn’t move for a minute and they had to check on me.
"That's one minute, see you tomorrow."
I love how it ties back into God's glorious world and how lucky we are that we get to live this amazing life that he is given us ❤️

I’ve always wanted to go skydiving so bad, and bungee jumping… And just about anything that can give me a thrill of excitement.
Ever been to Cedar Point? (The only good part of Ohio, lol) They have/had (not sure if it’s still there) an attraction called the Ripcord. Closest thing you’ll get to skydiving at about 1/20th the height.

That part where he said, God placed the best things in life on the other side of fear for years, I had such a fear of withdrawal that I stayed enslaved to the drug OxyContin. It was only after facing down the awful fear that I realized fear was the hardest part of it all. Once I slowed down on the medication, my anxiety decreased. My energy decreased also, but my joy began to soar to new heights.

Loved the ending message
If you are scared of skydiving, i recommend finding a very open, straight road in a car that can go over 120mph. Do a top speed run in your car. If your car can go over 120 mph, youll have already gone faster than you will during your skydive. Ive done multiple top speed runs in my car (145 mph), and my very first skydive was an absolute breeze.
“God placed the best things in life on the other side of fear” 🔥 Too good bro
Thank you for creating this video! I have to do a page of someone going on their first skydive for school and this helped so much. The way you describe everything is just so detailed
Him being insecure about his forehead/ hairline while skydiving makes me sad
Facts bringing the hat on a plane and keeping his hair down and then instantly putting the hat back on when he was on the ground
The hardest part is the initial anticipation. But what was said about the second after rolling out the door is absolutely true. The adrenaline dump after landing is pretty awesome too.
Going skydiving has always been a dream of mine. I’ve been asking my friends if they will go with me and they all said no but one. So I can’t wait till I can afford it
you can't afford it yet or you can?
I have an extreme fear of heights, but skydiving is still on my bucket list. Thank you for this video!
Random internet confession:
I skydived once, was awesome! I remember two things clearly: (1) looking up and seeing the sun between my feet as we fell, then looking up and seeing the earth. Wasn’t disorientating, felt peaceful, and (2) after pulling the chute and looking down and the drop beneath my feet, was pretty terrifying realizing my life depended on the two metal caribiners.
Also my aunt was learning skydiving from a dude in the 70s and on their 15th jump his chute didn’t deploy correctly and he died but she landed fine. She quit after that. I called her a pussy after I jumped but neither she nor I jumped again. I feel like she still has it over on me but I’ll never tell her that.
Yeah I don’t think I want to go skydiving now thanks
God didn't place you back on earth it was the parachute designed by brilliant Engineers.
idgaf how blissful skydiving is, i will never in my whole life jump out of an airplane. thats insane. its cool to see other people do it but i can just feel the knot in my stomach simply from watching
Fear is an irrational emotion. It's an experience you'll always remember and the fact that if you can do it, imagine what other feats you could conquer. Put it on your bucket list...I dare you!

Never done skydiving, but I’ve done paragliding for many years. I love it shouldn’t be afraid of heights afraid of anything just enjoy it. Life’s too short.😂
This is why motorcycles are my zen place. Letting go of the fear of so many things that can go wrong and enjoying the ride is amazing. Pushing your skills further and further till you can do amazing things. Learning is scary. First solo ride is scary. First traffic situation is scary. First rain ride is scary 1st time on the interstate is super scary. But conquering those is amazing.
I've been wanting to get into motorcycles for a while now. Might start once it start warming up again. Hope I go through with it.
Until you have 3 pals dead from motorcycle accidents and 1 dead from a parachute that didn’t open correctly.. That’s my reality. It’s not fear that keeps me away from these activities. It’s the fact that the risk is too high and my girl wants me home every night, not cold and dead like my friends who “embraced fear” are.
@@KD._ don’t , I buried four of my motorcycling mates. Too many people on their phones. Not worth it.
@@satanslittlehelper9677 i have noticed the increase in bad drivers. Honestly the motorcycle is 2nd priority. Mainly want a car, so if I buy it there won't be any need for a bike. Even then a bike was just a thought.
It’s nice to know that if I were to do this I wouldn’t die alone and the man whose lap ive sat on for the whole plane ride is coming with me.
It is actually reassuring tbf
So true..that's what I have learned .I live God I'm not traditional but I research alit if religious practices..to me god is compassion and love ...he has helped me grow as a person throu almost dying family members passing and a drug issue. He's helped me alot.. pure love ..if I'm willing to accept it
I've been saying for years that for the amount of dread that I feel just thinking about doing this is the exact reason why I have to do this
There's no way this dude isn't in crippling depression after seeing his girl like that with the other dude.
No thanks.. my Friend was an instructor his last jump the person he was taking down died on impact and he's paralyzed for life.. even the pros can have problems, he had done thousands of jumps.. all it took was that last one to change his life and the family of the deceased.
I did this a few years back. It was one of the most satisfying experiences I've ever had. I will do it again, hopefully soon. Its not for everyone but if you are up to it I say go for it.
DO IT NOW!! I've waited too long, now I'm all crippled up!! Do it while you still can!!!
Austin copying Will Smiths message
Everyone in the comment section: Great Message
When people haven’t faced real fear, trauma, and adversity they go seek safe, controlled versions of it out. Sky diving, spelunking, storm chasing. How many combat veterans did this?
dude what?💀
What?
I understand exactly what you're saying...a soldier or combat vet would likely find skydiving boring or would know exactly what to expect and enjoy it...whereas people who have never felt that intense life or death internal struggle,seek that intensity in a safe way
Fear is nothing but planning ahead and overthinking things. When you realize you are doing the thing, there's nothing more to overthink.
"and then you realize"
That you wasted every single second of one of the most amazing experience in your life, by getting you in frame of the camera instead of enjoying the moment
If God wanted me to fly, he would have given me wings...I'm good staying on the ground...call it fear, call it denial. I am still good on the ground.

Don't be afraid to take chances in life. Our journey on this earth is a limited one. You dont want to wake up one day and wish you could have tried this or you could have tried that.
If you have a shred of curiosity, then follow it. It's not everyday that life presents you with opportunity. Don't let fear be your deciding factor in life.
Life is scary sometimes but you can't let that stop you from enjoying it. Live your life for the memories, don't just let life pass you by. If you have inspirations then follow them. If you have dreams then live them. Live the life you want to live
One of the most amazing experiences I’ve had was sky diving ❤
