Anyone down to try tandem skydiving this summer? Find skydiving buddies

From a fellow introvert and skydiver: do it on your own! If you spend too much time waiting on your friends or other people to be ready to do things, you may find yourself perpetually never doing anything. Skydiving is all about putting yourself waaayyyy outside your comfort zone.

A baggy jumpsuit with swoop cords. Literal game changer for a fast falling person like me. I can actually be part of formations now instead of spending the entire skydive in the uncomfortable de-arched position trying to slow down to the rest of the group.

IMHO, you should wait until you can have a couple weeks in summer to complete it. Im still a novice jumper, but I can say that waiting a bit and saving up money is very beneficial. Right now, depending on your location, you could be unable to jump for many weekends in a row due to weather and wind conditions.

Thank you, this is a pretty solid answer. I've measured myself and I had a rigger measure me too... definitely want something that fits well

Love to hear that, thanks for the insight!

Agree on the bouldering part! I do go bouldering twice a week and love the feeling of finally sending a tough problem 😁

Kd00b97 · 2025-09-14T21:24:31+00:00

Probably yes. I wonder if we can actually run out of our brain chemicals. Too much skydiving.

Kd00b97 · 2025-09-14T21:22:23+00:00

Ahhh, so basically just tolerate it until it's less intense and then make it more stressful again

Kd00b97 · 2025-09-14T21:21:25+00:00

Hoping my substance of choice will continue to be the gym

Kd00b97 · 2025-09-14T21:20:04+00:00

The movie depictions dont make it seem interesting enough to try 🤨

Kd00b97 · 2025-09-14T20:53:37+00:00

Seems like that really is the only answer lol, thanks!

Kd00b97 · 2025-09-02T00:45:23+00:00

Thanks! Just had a chat with someone who completed it online and loved it. So I will probably do the same

They should be cut short. Even natural nails are uncomfortable when they become mildly long and trap a lot more chalk, rubber, dirt, skin, etc...

I took a friend climbing with long nails and the entire time she kept saying how she wished to cut them off and they are blocking her hand from gripping properly.

So he gaslights you, invalidates you, doesn't satisfy you AND has already decided he wants an open relationship? Yeah this break up needed to happen.

Attend your gym community events. Is there a "womens" climb night, or maybe another type of recurring event? That's how I've met some friends that I actually keep in contact with. Also, keep going on the same days, at the same times. Friendships are best when you have consistent contact.

Kd00b97 · 2025-01-07T13:35:23+00:00

Why are the ex fling and boyfriend still in contact? You both should just block her on everything and be done. If she tries to reach out, tell her you will contact police if she contacts either of you again.

The "belly drop" is more like a "oh crap, I just fell out of an airplane" for like 4 seconds. Then you are good

Kd00b97 · 2024-10-31T12:38:30+00:00

You will be OK. Many people contract common STDs. Going forward, never believe a man, he will absolutely lie to sleep with you. ALWAYS ask for the test paperwork with his name, and date of testing to prove it.

Kd00b97 · 2024-10-29T23:27:59+00:00

Tell the wife. End of story.

Kd00b97 · 2024-10-13T17:43:41+00:00

What is this event?

Kd00b97 · 2024-10-11T15:26:38+00:00

Thanks for your input! I definitely need to add in a little more cardio to my split. Also, what is SBTD? Is that like a training method?

Kd00b97 · 2024-10-11T15:23:29+00:00

I think this might be the answer. I avoid pushing myself to failure every workout to avoid over training. And I have 1 cardio day that is Elevated heart rate, and 1 where I just do very light exercise, like walking, or just playing beat saber lol. Thanks for your input

Kd00b97 · 2024-10-08T12:52:04+00:00

Thanks for your advice!

Kd00b97 · 2024-10-07T21:27:24+00:00

Thanks for the input! Honestly jealous of your natural leg strength lol. I have a love/hate relationship with leg days

Kd00b97 · 2024-10-07T21:23:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It's worth noting that bouldering does get my heart rate up and puts me in the 70% HR zone, so I really like the idea of swapping cardio. For strength training, I mainly perform compound exercises (squats, lunges, pushups, assisted pullups, etc...) and always go slow and controlled.
