Usually you jump doubles at first, so no need to get wigged-out about it - just relax and let it happen. It's a fantastic experience.
Some schools go static line, that is how I started. Had a big arrow on the ground that you turn toward after your canopy opens. It was breezy that day and the guy running the guide arrow misjudged it and I ended landing in a field of orange trees a couple football fields off the landing point. Hit fairly hard and found out later they had given me the wrong chute, I was supposed to have a 35' but got a 29". Didn't bother me any, I was totally jazzed. When you first step out its such a rush and when your canopy opens up and your dangling there its incredible, the noise of the wind and the engine is gone and its quiet, you can see all around you. If anything was ever worth the price of admission that was.
If he was any sort of lover that would be miserable existance.
Tell me about it.
Oops - I mean, yeah, I agree.
In reality the Shaolin Temple is Buddhist but a lot of the show borrowed from Taoist philosophy. In one episode when the old Master catches young Caine eyeballing-up a hottie, he tells him that "it is natural to appreciate beauty".
I don't think that advice ever got him laid, though...

Exactly!
I've never tried hang-gliding, which I would think is truly amazing, but for me skydiving was the closest thing to being able to fly I've ever experienced.
Some people say SCUBA diving is like flying, but I never lost that sense that I was in an alien environment. Underwater there are hundreds of things that could go wrong - in the air, only one.

Well appreciation of beauty is a good thing. getting laid is bestest though. Admiring beauty while getting laid is a win/win.

If I want, I certainly CAN take a tour of NEPA's stip clubs!
You can probably count them on a hand or two anyway.
