All very good answers. I can relate to pretty much all of them. As skydivers we know why we all do it. People that don't jump will never understand and that's ok. It's not for everyone........just us
@@SalvadorChangg can you speak about the fear ? Like when did you feel confortable jumping ? How do you figure out to control the stress with experience ? Etc
I can relate to most of the folks you asked- but none more than Tru. I have bad, bad PTSD, which is an anxiety disorder. When I jump out of a plane it all goes away and nothing matters but the next few minutes. You go, Tru..! Also, everyone I've met at the dropzone are really cool and friendly and easy to talk to- unlike my experience of most folks in the general public.
I only did one tandem back in april 2021, at skydive southwest in punta gorda, florida... I really want to get my aff soon, Watching your videos makes me want to get it at skydive deland... i can feel the love through the screen with you and your people lol
Ive done one tandem skydive and going bk for more and want to get my licence. I suffer with anxiety and depression and during free fall all that goes away and thd only thing that exists is the moment. The adrenaline is also amazing.
Good. I have a lot of skydiving brothers whose lives were made far better (perhaps even rescued) by the sport. Have a look at Jeb Corliss and why he does what he does. He's an amazing guy, and unlike many, he's focused on his sport and not on himself.
Hey Sal! Could you do a video on how skydivers overcome their fears? Especially student jumpers. Someone close to me is looking to transition from tandem to AFF; they feel bad over not making a solo jump. See you at the drop zone! Aaron
Hey Aaron, In my opinion choosing to skydive is a personal choice. The individual has to want it for themselves. I believe the real question is, dose the individual want to skydive solo, and if the answer is yes, do they want to skydive solo bad enough to over come a fear they have that is stopping them? I’m a firm believer that all fears are made up. Fears are limiting beliefs we create for ourselves and over coming that blockade is a personal journey. The individual has to want it for themselves. Once again, just my personal opinion. Hope it helps, blue skies brother 🤙🏼
What a great video man! I love it! Thanks for making these awesome videos and taking your time to do this it’s awesome man! This is cringe but I want to skydive cause it’s been my life long dream to become a skydiver! I saw someone falling from the sky when I was 5 and ever since I wanted to live that dream! Plus its freaking fun and the community is awesome! Just the whole aspect. Love it have fun man 🤘🏼🤙🏼🔥
Yyyeeeahhhhh Dallas!!! Glad to hear from you brother, hope you are doing well!! And that’s not cringe at all. I can’t wait for you to live out your dream here soon!! I’m hyped for you!!
I Skydive because it scares me. I have just over 200 jumps and it still scares me. But when I'm in that door and it's go time, I never think twice. That's probably because everyone behind me is yelling go go go lol
Awesome video Salvador! David and Colbe both touched on quite a few of the reasons I also Skydive and can totally relate to their responses! 😁🤙🏼 Like David, it all started with a desire and after my 1st Tandem when I was 23, the fire 🔥 was LIT! Like Colbe, I also am a Christian ✝️ and know where I'm going, so Nothing is keeping me from being in the skys where i aspire to spend eternity anyway, lol...! 😎🙏🏼 After 2 more Tandems in subsequent years, I joined the Army and became a Parachute Rigger because it Guaranteed I would be Airborn... I have been out since 2014 and this year I decided I need to fulfill my dreams to be a Skydiver and started AFF back in April. I am 3 jumps away from my A-License now and I'm already thinking about my next 25 jumps and B-License etc, lol! Good job with your channel 👏 (I'm new to it) and tha ks foe the awesome content, keep it coming! 😁🤙🏼🪂 ~Ben~
Mois I’m glad you liked the video and I’m extremely happy for you taking action and chasing you’re dreams! That’s what I’m all about! Actions over words!! Love the fact that your almost to your A license, then you will begin to do group jumps and that’s where the fun truly begins! Both David and Colbe’s answers hit me hard and I couldn’t agree with you more. Glad to have you here on the channel and welcome brother 🤙🏼 I hope you’re skydiving career is long with a ton of fun!! Def keep me updated when you get your A license! I’m hyped for you!!
@@SalvadorChangg Sorry for not introducing myself, lol, my name is Ben and Mois is what they called me in the Army, lol, but you didn't know that. 😅 I have been a Man of Action 🎬 pretty much my whole life and plan to be that way until the day I die, talk is cheap for sure! 🤙🏼 I am also on Instagram and Facebook if you want to keep up and in touch and I'm definitely planning to come down and jump with you in 2022, so plan to see me then and hopefully by that time (maybe spring time?) I'll be a lot more proficient than I am now... Have a great week and I'll be catching up on watching your videos. I also have some "cool-ish" videos posted, but I do TH-cam more for fun and business than for the views etc, so give me a like and subscribe back if you want. 😊🤜🏼🤛🏼
I have never done a skydive before, but in the near future, I want to do a tandem, and then work on getting my license to jump by myself. I want to do this cause I suffer from anxiety, and want to prove to myself that I can do it. I believe that skydiving will be a big help for my anxiety.
Hey Salvador, probably this is a weird question but lmk if you can answer it. Are you required to be a U.S citizen or permanent resident in the US to start your AFF ? Do you think a guy like me with no status in the US but with work authorization and Driver’s License can start skydiving?
Ooouuffff… that’s a tough question brother. If I was you I would call your local Drop Zone and ask them that question. I’m sure they would be able to better assist you. I wish I could help but I’m not properly informed and would hate to give you false information. Blue skies, I hope it works out and you can jump!!
My.parents have a place in DeLand I have been at skydive soany time but never went skydiving always wanted to if yall.ever give out another free skydive let me.know. it will help.me so.much in.life thankyou
To those that jump, no explanation is necessary.
To those that don't jump, no explanation is possible.
Wise words… wise wise words #Deep
@@SalvadorChangg I found this quote somewhere, so true huh. Need to experience it yourself to be able to understand =P
We used, "It's better that SEX, with your clothes ON!"
I’ve never seen a perfectly good skydive airplane 😂😂 they are always sketchy and it feels safer to jump out of it lol
The exit is my favorite part tbh, I’m free, not trapped in a metal bird 🦅😂
There was no door, and I fell out, everytime.
All very good answers. I can relate to pretty much all of them. As skydivers we know why we all do it. People that don't jump will never understand and that's ok. It's not for everyone........just us
Exactly… you have to just do it to understand
“Because I love it!!”
Haha I love that dude’s attitude
Your channel is very good and informative, thank you!
Thanks for the feed back! I’m here for the people Yann, anything you’d like to see in future videos? Anything you have questions about?
@@SalvadorChangg can you speak about the fear ?
Like when did you feel confortable jumping ? How do you figure out to control the stress with experience ? Etc
So like a “How to deal with fear” video? I think I could set that up for sure
Thanks for posting this. I feel my answer is a combination of everyone's answer in some ways. Very relatable.
Agreed, every one had solid answers and I feel for each and everyone. We’re all in it for the same reason. 🤙🏼🙏🏼
I can relate to most of the folks you asked- but none more than Tru.

You go, Tru..!

Heck yeah!! Thanks for sharing! Truly means a lot and I’m glad it helps
I've found the opposite to be true.
I only did one tandem back in april 2021, at skydive southwest in punta gorda, florida... I really want to get my aff soon, Watching your videos makes me want to get it at skydive deland... i can feel the love through the screen with you and your people lol
Good. Just don't ever be over 35 or you'll find yourself alone.
not sure what that means, but ok lol@@spudeleven5124
Damm Deland was my home DZ for a while and iv been away for a few years traveling. Cant wait to get back to Deland
In Deland we trust 🙏🏼
When people say why jump out of a perfectly good airplane, I usually respond, why do you jump out of a perfect boat to go swimming.
The sky is our playground 🤘🏼😂

Mr. Chang.. Bro, you are doing great. I am happy to see your channel as a complete flying channel 🤘🌷🌷cheers bro !!!
Thanks man, what’s your favorite video of mine so far?!

Lol basically all of Martin’s interview had to be bleeped 🤣
Hahaha mans a savage, what can you do 😂🤷🏻♂️ a solid answer nonetheless
Salvador and Spidey answers being the only honest one XD
Why do I love to skydive? Because they keep opening the damm door.
You blew Spidy's mind...🤯
Haha I had to put that last part in there 😂😳🤯
What a great video man! I love it! Thanks for making these awesome videos and taking your time to do this it’s awesome man!

Nothing cringe about that answer. That's a cool reason.

Haha green light means GOOOOO!!! I hate those people tbh though. And it should scare you. Complacency kills. Stay sharp out there brother 🤙🏼

@@SalvadorChangg appreciate it!
You can! I got my USPA A license being a mexican citizen 🤟🏻
We have lots of people come from other countries to do AFF in deland.
You don't need anything at all. It (skydiving) isn't regulated by the FAA - only the airplanes and pilots are. Your money is as good as anyone else's.
When jump out I’m forgot reason why I skydive just fun😁😁😁
Adrenaline addicted 🤣🤣
Heck yeah, for the trill of it!! Gotta love that adrenaline addiction
I like Martins answer. I guess he is ex 2 para UK?
It’s scary asf
But like once you get the gear it looks chill just loud up there
I skydive because it is saving my life. It's so much better than being addicted to meth.
A skydiving brother of mine dumped a heroin habit for skydiving - best bargain he ever made.
I skydive so I can touch the sky!! And the clouds ⛅
Those are some of my favorite things to do!! How many jumps do you have?
@@SalvadorChangg one tandem jump. I just need to get the guts to do a solo. Having a hard time adjusting to the new people at my dropzone
skydiving is a dangerous sport.....once you try it, you might not be able to stop :)
It’s better then drugs
I used to jump, made over a thousand back in the day. This video makes me want to take it up again.
It’s never to Kaye to get back in the game
Next question how'd you feel about skydiving before your first jump?
Wanted to do it… bad
I meant this should be your next question to ask people LOL
My.parents have a place in DeLand I have been at skydive soany time but never went skydiving always wanted to if yall.ever give out another free skydive let me.know. it will help.me so.much in.life thankyou
If you truly wanted it you would go… no matter the cost. People who truly want something don’t let anything stand in their way
I dont know
🤷🏻♂️😂
MY FAMILY
Love ❤️😉
Where do you jump?
It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
That’s what they say lol 😂
Because my brother talked me into it. Cool story... Ask me about it wont you?
I’m asking about it
"If you're at a big social gathering such as a party, how can you tell which one's the skydiver? He'll tell you!"
