I have decided I want to do something crazy to break in the new year. I am going with some friends to Las Vegas to celebrate. We plan on sky diving on New Year's Day. What's a good company to go with?

Any USPA dropzone would be good. I've not been able to jump in Las Vegas as of yet, but check http://uspa.org/dz/states/NV.htm for a list of dropzone near by. Just looking at the aircraft that are at the dropzones I would go to Skydive Tahoe. There are a few websites you need to check out to get good info on skydiving. http://www.uspa.org is the website of the United States Parachute Association, the governing body for sport parachuting in the United States. There is a list of member dropzones on the website along with all sorts of great info on the sport. The official site for the British Parachute Association is: http://www.bpa.org.uk/links.htm The official site for the Canadian Parachute Association is: http://www.cspa.ca/ The official site for the Australian Parachute Federation is: http://www.apf.asn.au/ http://www.dropzone.com is another great resource for everything about skydiving, including dropzones in the United States and the rest of the world, and some BASE too. http://www.bigairsportz.com is the web site for Brian Germain, one of the best people on the planet to get information on canopy flight from. http://www.skydiveradio.com is just fun and a good place to feel like you’re at the drop zone when you can’t physically be there. http://www.azarsenal.com/ is the website for the top vertical relative work team right now. Arizona Arsenal won the 2007 USA Nationals. If you’re not sure about skydiving but want to fly you should look at the vertical wind tunnels. http://www.skyventure.com/ is the website for skyventure which operates many tunnels in the United States, Europe and Asia. I love flying in the tunnel. I don’t do it very much, I’d rather spend my money on skydives, but it is a great place to learn, work on my flying skills and just have a lot of fun! Make sure that you contact the drop zone you want to jump at directly. There are a few scams out there, one of which is 1800skyride. They will take your money and send you to any dropzone they want too but only about three dz’s in the country except skyride tickets. So please, please, please contact the dropzone directly. The tandem is a great jump. I’d get video too. I made one tandem in June of 2005. If you are looking at skydiving as a one time thing, something to check off your life’s to do list then go right for a tandem. If you know you want to be a skydiver right now then go for a tandem or start student training. Either is great. I started skydiving by going for a tandem, thinking it was a one time thing and loved it so much that I have made it a major part of my life. In August of 2005 I started student training (good info about student training at uspa.org) and got my license. I’ve been jumping as much as I can and have a few hundred jumps. I have earned the USPA Coach Rating and plan to continue to jump for fun and help teach others how to fly and be safe in the air. There is nothing better than flying your body through the sky with your friends. The canopy is a lot of fun to fly too. It only gets better and better. Every weekend seems to be more fun than the one before. You will get into the sport for the rush, but you stay because of the people. I love this sport and I sincerely hope that you’ll become a full time skydiver and I’ll be able to make some jumps with you at a boogie! Blue Skies! Black Death! And EFS!!!!
