One of the best indoor skydiving is down by Fayetteville. It's a lot cheaper to see if you like it. Try the accelerated free fall so you don't have some weird guy on your back

Thanks for the suggestion but I wanna do the real thing.  I wanna say I've jumped out of a plane.  Plus the point of doing that is if I like it I can get certified in a few years and do it myself from then on.

Me? Hell no.

My sister did though, and on her first jump she somehow managed to land on the roof of a police car :blink:

(you have to understand, my sister is one of those people that stuff you think only happens in the movies actually does happen to her in real life)

The real way to learn is jump school. 800', static line, no reserve. Actually don't do that

Yep - it was cool. Because you're traveling at a high rate of horizontal speed when you 'jump', you don't get that typical falling feeling in the pit of your stomach. Can't recommend any places since I'm here in KS, but the place we went to actually gave me an altimeter to wear and taught me to pull the ripcord myself.

I think I want to go this summer. Anyone know any good spots here in NC? If I like it enough I may seek to get certified in a few years.

Skydive Carolina. Know the owners. Dated one of their daughters. 

 

Good place, decent price. Jumped from 14,500 altitude. (other places jump from 12,000). Tandem was about $200/person (I convinced 6 others to jump with me) - group discount.

 

Going back this summer and jumping solo.

      Draft Grades

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.

      BREAKING: Panthers claim CB M.J. Devonshire off Waiver Wire

      Maybe we should have just drafted a corner?  Crazy, I know.  One of the few positions we knew had to be addressed in the draft and nadda.
