| - I recently did the SkyJump when I had some friends visiting town. I had wanted to try it, but just never made it down there until now. We were really excited to jump, but I was kind of disappointed after the jump was done. Here's why:
1. It is extremely expensive. Regular price is $125. For a few dollars more you can skydive in Jean or Boulder City and have more fun. They do have a local rate of $99, but you have to ask for it before you pay. The good part of the locals rate was that my out of town friends were able to get the local rate with my ID since we all jumped together.
2. If you have ever skydived or bungeed, which I have on several occasions, this will be a huge let down. The guidelines you are attached to really slow down your decent and it feels like you are falling down through molasses. If you have never jumped out of a plane or bungeed, you would probably enjoy it more.
3. We jumped during the day and the view is seriously lacking. I wish we would have done it at night when the lights were on. Day time jumps are boring.
So if you have never jumped from a high spot before, go try it out. If you have jumped before, be warned.
I do have to say though, the first step off was terrifying, thrilling, exciting, and an "Almost peed my pants" kind of experience.
