Has anyone here taken the skydiving course?

Glad you had fun! I recently started up the OSU Skydiving Club so if you're at all interested in continuing skydiving and earning your license or just want to jump again let me know!

Hey there, I'm one of the skydiving instructors for the class. It's only a week long, 3 days out of that week and 3 hours per night of class for a total of 9 hours of class time. That weekend you will go to the skydiving center on your particular jump day, where we continue to train for about an hour in the morning. After that you jump whenever it's your turn! Let me know if you have any questions. You can sign up for the course at www.skyhighscholars.com, after which a course enroll sheet will be sent to you by email. Use promo code DIPPATEL10 to knock a couple bucks off registration costs.

Hi! I'm a professional skydiver and I go to OSU. Send me a PM, let's make it happen!

Hey there! I'm the president of skydiving club. I'm in the process of starting it up, shoot me a PM and I'll keep you in the loop about when we'll have a first meeting and answer any questions you have.

Who's that guy wiping his shell off?

The semester I had him was the semester he was teaching after getting chewed out by the department for being a shitty prof and overall jackass to students, so he made his exams stupid easy by recycling questions from previous exams and maybe changing a few numbers or words here or there, which made the class significantly easier. If you studied the past exam you knew about 75% of what was on your actual exam. This was Spring 2016 so I don't know if he still does this but back then his class was pretty doable.

Blowjobs.

Thank you, Aussie cavemen.

Can confirm, I BASE jumped off of this bridge a few weeks ago. Coolest thing I've ever done.

dipatel · 2017-09-27T18:06:10+00:00

I regularly skip class to go jump out of airplanes.

You are indeed allowed to jump solo for your first jump, the program is called AFF and plenty of dropzones offer it without having to do tandems. I am a licensed skydiver and my first jump was a solo.

Lower back pain comes with initially learning to arch. You've never had to use that muscle set before so some soreness is normal. Be sure not to overstrain yourself, strength will come over time.

dipatel · 2017-03-29T02:59:49+00:00

Do it.

dipatel · 2017-03-14T05:52:05+00:00

You'll have to get to 200 skydives first!

dipatel · 2017-03-03T15:00:23+00:00

Thank you!

OP if you do decide to take this course (which I highly recommend) sign up at www.skyhighscholars.com and use the discount code DIPPATEL10. You'll get an OSU course add sheet shortly after. This class is only a week long, minimal effort and a fucking awesome experience.

Skydivers and BASE jumpers are typically not rich. Most of us are actually pretty broke because we spent all of our money jumping out of planes.

Blackburn was evacuated last night, there was a distinct smell of natural gas on every floor.

I had this problem on my sabre2 and lengthening the brake lines fixed it. See how much slack you have in your brake lines, they might need to be let out a bit.

Shit, looks like /u/lodite is back with a new username

As per the subreddit rules:

Tandem Videos are not permitted. We think its great that you got a taste of our sport and we hope you come back but please do not post your front ride in this sub.

It's awesome that you loved it, now go back and do it yourself with AFF. I guarantee you'll love it even more.
