About this experience
Your day starts on the ground with a real briefing: body position, exit, freefall and landing. Jake walks you through the tandem harness, the main and reserve canopies and the automatic activation device, so you understand exactly what keeps you safe.
Then you ride to altitude, exit at about 13,000 feet and fall for roughly 60 seconds before a five-minute canopy ride over the valley, where you can take the toggles for a few turns. Afterward Jake talks about what it takes to get licensed and what a career in the sport actually looks like.
