点评:Did my first tandem jump here with two friends and it was one of the best days of my life.
From check-in, the whole team was warm, funny, and put us at ease immediately, even though all three of us were so nervous. My instructor Felippe was calm and reassuring the whole way up, and even though I totally messed up the instructions during the jump he was so kind and professional - and he got us to the ground safely which is the most important thing. The ability to reassure nervous first-timers, and steer/control the parachutes and body positioning, AND record the whole thing, was so impressive. Overall, everyone there, instructors and fun jumpers alike, had this incredible mix of experience, genuine warmth, and chill attitudes that made a terrifying thing feel safe.
The jump itself was unreal - from the freefall, to the parachute ride down, to getting to steer myself for a bit, and most importantly a landing so smooth I barely felt it. After we landed, a jumper named John Skinner, a world record holder with 36 years of experience and something like 14,000 jumps himself, came over just to check on my friend when she got emotional after completing the jump and offered some supportive and inspirational advice, and that kind of care from a total stranger says everything about the community this place has built. Everyone was so cool and inspiring.
We walked away with great photos and video, certificates, and we're already talking about doing it again. Can't recommend this enough for anyone thinking about taking the leap.
翻译:我在这里和两位朋友一起完成了人生中的第一次双人跳伞,那是我一生中最美好的日子之一。
从办理手续开始,整个团队都热情又风趣,立刻让我们放松了下来,尽管我们三个人都紧张得不得了。我的教练费利佩在整个上升过程中都十分镇定且能给人安全感;虽然我在跳伞时完全没听从指示,但他依然和蔼又专业——最终还把我们安全地带回了地面,这才是最重要的。能够如此安抚那些紧张的新手,真是难能可贵。能够操控/控制降落伞和身体姿势,还能记录下整个过程,真是令人惊叹。总体而言,在场的每一个人——无论是教练还是体验跳伞的初学者——都具备一种难得的特质:丰富的经验、真挚的热情以及随和的态度,这些让原本恐怖的体验变得十分安全。
这次跳伞体验简直不可思议——从自由落体,到借助降落伞缓缓下降,再到能够自己控制方向。最重要的是,着陆时平稳得几乎感觉不到冲击。我们着陆后,一位名叫约翰·斯金纳的跳伞者……这位拥有36年跳伞经验、创下过世界纪录的资深跳伞者,总共完成过约14,000次跳伞。当我的朋友完成跳伞后情绪激动时,他特意过来关心她,还给了许多暖心且鼓舞人心的建议。一个素不相识的人能如此体贴关怀,这充分体现了这里所形成的社群氛围。所有人都是那么酷且充满正能量。
我们带走了漂亮的照片和视频,还有证书;现在我们已经在商量什么时候再来体验一次了。对于任何正在考虑迈出这一步的人,我极力推荐这个。
