  overtime. Your skull will be rattling with all of

take in the run-up to your jump-out

• Watch videos and look at photos of skydives at
  the dropzone youre planning to visit. This way,
  youll know more about what to expectfrom the
  plane youll be in to the people youll be
  surrounded by to the landscape youll be jumping
  over.

• Avoid watching scare videos on the internet.
  Theyve been designed to attract your click at
  all costs and, essentially, make money from the
  fear youre trying to slay. Statistically
  speaking, theyre utterly insignificantand you
  know that watching them wont do you any good. So
  leave em!
• Visit the dropzone ahead of your jump. Youll get
  a feel for the atmosphere and youll meet some
  new friends. Bonus You can ask just-landed
  jumpers what their experience was like and get
  the info straight from the horses mouth.

• Treat your jump like an athletic event. Get eight
  hours of sleep. Eat healthfully and moderately.
  Dont show up with a hangover. Warm up and
  stretch before your jump. Stay hydrated. It all
  seems like simple, common-sense stuffbut a lot
  of people dont bother. We say You already know
  how, so take the initiative and optimize your own
  experience!
