Tandem skydiving video: worth $80? Hi, i just did my first skydive and was wondering, for those who have done it and got a video, is the video worth it or am i best off just taking the money and putting it towards a second skydive? I guess im not sure how close it is to reliving the experience, and if its something you watch once and never really watch again or if it captures the moment. (i have 24 hrs to decide) Just looking for opinions. no i havent tried bungee jumping, but skydiving was one thing i hade my sights on for a long time. Now that ive gone tho im up for just about any kind of extreme activity. But yea it was definitely an amazing experience, and i think it sounds like something that i would want to keep as much as i can. 80 dollars is just a good ammount, but it lasts forever :)

1st time skydive. Solo or tandem? I will be skydiving for charity in July and was wondering which option to choose: a) Solo skydive from 3500 ft with 5 hours ground training. There is only a few seconds freefall. b) Tandem skydive from 10,000 ft with about 30 seconds freefall. And also I have a normal video camera, would it be safe to bring it in the plane with me and put it in my pocket on the way down? Im jumping at Skydive Ireland, Co. Tipperrary if it helps or you know anything about the place.
