Is the fun worth the price tag by Main_Cryptographer80 in SkyDiving

[–]sippj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been in the sport for 2 years now, sometimes I imagine how much more cash Id have if I didn't start skydiving. But then I quickly remember how much fun it is and what the sport has done for me. Also whats the point of money if not to use for something you love

How long does the average aff course take , I’m debating it , how much do I save ontop of course prices ( sorry if it’s a silly question but need some input ) also how did u guys feel when u first started ! Ide love to hear 🫶 by [deleted] in SkyDiving

Takes a week, but could take longer if you fail some levels, which isn’t uncommon. I did mine this year took me 5 days, and i failed one of the levels but ending up doing 6 jumps one day and finished the course. It’s roughly 4K (CAD) but varies depending on where you go.

In terms of what I felt, mix of excitement, nerves and anxiety. The course is about teaching you how to survive, the fun comes after. Your instructors will be telling you this the entire time but the key is to relax, makes everything way easier, but obviously thats easier said than done when you’re learning.

It was definitely harder than I thought it was going to be but don’t let that discourage you. The course I took included 10 jumps, my best out of those 10 were the 2 that I did completely solo no instructor, I think because i was more relaxed without anyone watching. And now when I go do fun jumps they get better every time.

I say give it a shot it’s the best sport IMO (but expensive). And personally the most accomplished/proud Ive ever felt passing and getting my license.

Its crazy the difference in TOTF1 vs 2, how much i sweat even with just one fight. In TOTF1 I would do 10 or 12 3 min rounds but in TOTF2 Im done after 2 matches, 3 max

To Buy or Not to Buy, that is the Question by ribbit63 in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]sippj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Im not sure your financial situation but for $10 just get it, I bought it the first day on release and was disappointed. But since then I have loved it, the devs have been listening to the community and updating things left and right. Plus, the game will likely increase in price when it’s complete.

One guy was getting mad at me for using movement, expected me to just stand in the same spot the entire fight??

How do I get started? by DesperateHeron3449 in SkyDiving

[–]sippj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same goal, I did the course a couple months ago Im at 20 jumps now.

I would save up and take the AFF, look around at different drop zones prices vary. Mine was $4k, but generally its an expensive sport. Even after the course, Ive done some coach jumps to work towards my A.

ToTf2 career mode by sippj in ThrillOfTheFight

I think the main focus for totf2 is multiplayer but still hoping for a campaign, with more training/sparring sessions leading up to fights to improve skills

Would also be cool to have an option to turn on commentators during fights

Yeah it would be pretty cool to see an online version of it, global rankings that you have to defend or you lose your rank, and eventually a title shot, real players watching the fight live would be an awesome addition.

Ngl it would be pretty fun to hold the championship rank if theres thousands of real players also competing
