Summary: The idea of jumping out of a plane might seem terrifying to many people, especially those that are afraid of heights. However, thousands of people in the United States alone not only try skydiving, but do it again and again. Part of the invigorating experience that comes along with free flying across the sky is the confidence and adrenaline rush that goes along with attempting a so-called extreme sport. Plus you don't have to suffer through months of conditioning to go skydiving, you just have to have the guts to try it.

This adventure sports series of free parachuting instruction videos begins with an overview of how to board the airplane and of course how to jump out of it once your reach the right parachuting altitude. And when you've made the leap into the great unknown, our expert demonstrates how to free fly with live footage thousands of feet in the sky. Indeed, this much more than just a mundane demonstration. This is exciting footage of the actual event. But don't be intimidated. Our expert shows you correct body position for flying back on earth before you see beginners just like yourself flying across the sky. You will also learn the proper way to fly your body and your canopy. If all of that seems a bit overwhelming for a first-timer, our expert gives you an overview of tandem jumping for beginners.
